Question

【題目】There are millions of charities in the UK. In fact, you can hardly think of any good business that doesn’t have a charity linked (聯(lián)系的) to it.

The British people are so generous with charities. A lot of people are quite prepared to donate money to charities, even when they are short of money themselves. There are many reasons why people give money to charities. Sometimes it’s a personal reason, say their parents died of cancer so they give money to cancer research, or of a religious reason. Many religions (宗教) encourage their followers to donate a part of their income (收入) to the poor. Many religious people feel it is their duty to help others as part of their faith (信仰). Still, other people just give donations because they have some spare money and they think it is a good thing to do.

Many people think it is necessary to give donations to charities because they wish to make the lives and situations of those in need better.

The British government has made it quite easy for people to give money to charity as you can pay through your payroll (工資單). So when you get your salary, you automatically (自動地) get some money taken out and give it to charity. Some people have some money taken out to give to charities, such as Save the Children Fund, thinking it is a good way to save children around the world.
