Question

 I know a man named Jack. When he was a young man, he was already rich enough to live a very comfortable life. Then, at the age of 23, he inherited (繼承)a million dollars. After he inherited the money, he decided to keep living a simple life just like everyone else. He gave some of his money to a charity (慈善機構(gòu))to help poor children live a happy life. Even now, he still wears cheap clothes and shoes and drives an ordinary (普通的)car. 

So far, Jack has helped many poor children from different countries by sending each of them $200 a month. With his help, these children have been able to go to school again. He and the children often write to each other. In this way, he gets to know how the children are getting along with their studies and lives. Some of the children are already adults, but they still feel very grateful to him. It makes him happy to be able to help those children. "I want to do everything I can to go on helping those children around the world," he said.
