     John Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington, and he inherited (繼承) $1 000 000 when he was
23. He didn't feel happy at all. His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn't have to.
John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He didn't tell any of his friends and gave $100 000
of his money to a charity (慈善團體) that helped poor children to live better lives. Today he is 36. He still
wears cheap shoes and clothes and owns a small car only, but he is much happier.
     Up to now John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, $200 a month for each.
The child does not receive the money in cash (現(xiàn)金). The money pays for the child's school expenses, food,
medical care and clothing. John receives a report each year on the child's progress. They can write to each
other, but usually the children do not speak English.
     When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them."It was not anything special," he said.
"Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping, I did not know anything
about the type of life they had."
     Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting."When I met her,
I felt very happy," he said,"I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the
child in a way that giving money alone cannot.""I want to do everything I can. I will go on helping those
children in need," he added.

閱讀下列材料,然后自擬題目作文。不少于600字。
山里有個男孩長大了,他要到外面的世界去,山里到山外沒有路,他也沒有錢,有的只是茫茫的大山,茂密的森林。男孩找來一把斧子,放在石上磨了又磨。母親問他磨斧子干什么,他說:“砍樹,開路。我要到外面去!”母親有些傷心又有些驕傲。
男孩在林子里砍出了一條路來,又把砍下的樹賣了作路費。臨別時,母親問他:“你還回來嗎?你會記得回家的路嗎?”男孩說:“我一定會回來的,我就順著這條我砍出的路回來!
男孩就這樣走了。
男孩走了以后,山里人照著男孩的樣子,從不同的方向砍出不同的路,到外面闖世界去。他們都不走前人的路,而是另辟蹊徑;他們都把砍下的樹賣了作路費。于是樹都被砍光了。
許多年后,男孩回來了。當(dāng)他走到山邊時,已經(jīng)找不到自己當(dāng)年砍出的路了。所有的山都是光禿禿的。
他不能辨別回家的方向了。
他失去了家園!
