Question

【題目】Bush（布什）takes ice bucket challenge（冰桶挑戰(zhàn)）. Bush has joined a growing list of celebrities across the world to take the ice bucket challenge. He did it to help raise money for Lou Gehrig’s disease（肌萎縮側(cè)索硬化癥）and chose his predecessor(前任) Bill Clinton （克林頓）to do it next.

In a video posted on Wednesday on Bush’s Facebook page, the former president, wearing a navy blue coat while sitting at a table, said he was challenged by his daughter Jenna Bush Hager to take the challenge.

As he wrote the check, Laura Bush appeared with a white bucket and poured ice water over her husband’s head and then said, “That check is for me. I don’t want to ruin my hairstyle.”

Bush then announced his choice. “Now it’s my right to challenge my friend Bill Clinton to the ALS Challenge,” he said. “Yesterday was Bill’s birthday and my gift to him is a bucket of cold water.”
