    Oseola McCarty

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
    generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

    When her generosity was made ________.
    A:people donated billions
    B:hundreds of students got scholarships
    C:hundreds of people put money into the fund
    D:she was sent to university

    答案：C
    解析：
    本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
    由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。
    由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。
    由文章第四段第四句话“After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund.”可知答案为C。
    由文章最后一段最后一句话“Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people and proof that true selflessness does exist.”可知答案为C。第二篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是庞兹骗局和麦道夫骗局。

    Practice 7　　When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.

    Oseola McCarty

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
    generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

    This woman shocked and inspired the world because__________.
    A:she had managed to save so much money
    B:she gave her money to African Americans
    C:she gave her life savings to help others through university
    D:she only spent money on cheap things

    答案：C
    解析：
    本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
    由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。
    由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。
    由文章第四段第四句话“After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund.”可知答案为C。
    由文章最后一段最后一句话“Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people and proof that true selflessness does exist.”可知答案为C。第二篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是庞兹骗局和麦道夫骗局。
