Question

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

When Lydia Nash appeared on the TV programme Who wants to be a millionaire（百萬富翁）? and was lucky enough to win ￡16,000, she decided to give all the money away. This is not surprising if she has been rich or famous, but Lydia is a 19-year-old student.

Lydia gave all the money to a charity which helps the children whose parents are dead. She had worked there as a volunteer for the past three years. She first visited orphanage（孤兒院）at the age of seventeen, and she felt very sad by what she saw.

Some of her friends at university thought that maybe she had made the wrong decision. Some people said she should have saved it to buy a house or to pay for her education. She said, “That really worried me. Students seem to live in an unreal world, where they always complain (抱怨)about being poor. But there’s a very big difference between our situation and people who have no money.”

With the help of the money Lydia gave them, the charity has just finished building “Rainbow House”, a new building that will house 50 children whose parents are dead.

If Lydia had won a million pounds and not only￡16,000, would she still have given away all the money? She said,” Before going on the show I thought a lot about what it would be like to have a lot of money and I realized that I wouldn’t like it at all. And then, of course, as I had been to the orphanage and had seen all the work that needed to be done, I knew how useful that money could be. It was far more important for the charity than it could ever be for me. I think I got more enjoyment out of giving the money away than if I had kept it for myself.”
