Question

【題目】 If you go to the beautiful city of New Orleans, you will see a statue（雕像）which stands in a little square there. It is the statue of a woman whose eyes look at you like your mother's.

It is the statue of a woman named Margaret Haughery. When Margaret was a tiny baby, her father and mother died, and she was adopted by two young people as poor and as kind as her own parents. She lived with them until she grew up. Then she married, and had a little baby of her own. But very soon her husband died, and then her baby died, too, and Margaret was all alone in the world. She was poor, but she was strong, and knew how to work.

Later, there came a great sickness in the city. And so many mothers and fathers died that there were more orphans than the asylums（收容所）could possibly take care of.

Margaret decided to help them. She gave them part of her wages every week and worked for them. Margaret was so good at doing business that, a few years later, she earned more money. And then she built a home for orphan babies, she called it her baby house.

When Margaret died people were surprised to find that, with all her giving, she had still saved a great deal of money, and that she had left every penny of it to the different orphan asylums of the city!

And then the people of New Orleans made a statue of her, in memory of the great love and the great power of plain Margaret Haughery.
