閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

A 71-year-old man, surnamed Wang, in Northwest China Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous (adj. 自治的) Region who won a lottery jackpot(彩票獎金) of 5 million yuan has donated all of the money to charity. On November 21 when Wang arrived at the lottery complex in Urumqi to receive his prize, he donated the first batch of 500,000 yuan to a charity project. It aims to finance schooling of students in poverty.

“ I donated the money because I want to help others and I am very happy to do something for our society, ” he said. “Too much money means nothing to me. But this money will be very helpful for those in need.”

The old man was a retired worker with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Changji. His pension was only 600 yuan per month, but he said the income from his pension was enough for him.

Wang came to Xinjiang in 1956 from North China’s Henan Province. He had been engaged in farming before retirement. His wife has passed away. Wang revealed he did not tell his only daughter, who lived outside Changji, he had won the prize.

“ My daughter lives in a good condition,” he said. “ I will not leave a single penny to her. Those people that urgently need help deserve the prize.”

Although his pension was merely 600 yuan per month, Wang claimed he never said no to others who wanted to borrow money from him if he could afford it. He began to buy welfare lottery tickets in 2003 when he learned that lottery jackpot would help those in need.

Answer 1

【答案】

Unselfish Love

The old man said his pension was enough for him and his daughter didn’t need so much money. He donated the money because he wanted to help those in need.

From the article, we can see that the old grandpa is a helpful, kind-hearted and unselfish man. His behavior shows that he has love and sympathy for the poor. It is a kind of feeling that everybody should have. Meanwhile, he has a strong sense of responsibility for society. He sets a very good example to all of us.

In fact, we all need money to support ourselves and our families. The old man, whose monthly income was only 600 yuan, by no means rich. With the money, he could not only buy anything he wants, but also give it to his daughter.

If I were his grandson, I would not oppose his decision. On the contrary, I should support his behavior and be proud of him.
