An average but an extraordinary charitian, Matel Dawson gave away $ 1.3 million to charity over his lifetime.

Born the fifth of seven children in 1921 , Matel Dawson learned the value of hard work at a young age. He left school in the ninth grade to help support his family. By the time he was eighteen, Dawson had moved to Detroit in search of a better job. In those days, the North held better prospects for an African American man. He quickly landed a job with Ford Motor Company where he worked until he retired at the age of eighty-one.

Although never receiving much education, Matel Dawson valued higher education as a key to success for students of all races and backgrounds. Over his lifetime, Dawson donated over $ 600, 000 to Wayne Stale University alone. In 1996 he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from WSU, a sign to recognize his contribution to the university.

Although, at one time, he owned a large house and nice cars, Dawson lived a more modest lifestyle. He drove a used car and moved into a small apartment. He used to work seven days a week and put in overtime. After retirement, he stayed active at People's Community Church, where he had been a member for decades. Additionally he enjoyed the company of his daughter and grandson.

Dawson, exceptional generosity serves as a model for nontraditional charity. His contributions show that one need not be a millionaire or live like one to give away over one million dollars and to make a lasting change on the lives of fellow citizens.

A.Because of his hard work. B.Beause of his past experience.

One day a poor man was begging with an old wallet in his hand. As he felt sad at his own bad luck, he kept wondering why some wealthy people were never satisfied and were always wanting more.

“Here,” said he, “is the master of this house—I know him well. He is a wealthy businessman. He should have turned over his business to others, and then he could have spent the rest of his life happily, but he didn’t. Instead, he sent his ships to sea to trade with foreign lands. However, there were great storms on the water, so his ships were destroyed and his treasure disappeared in the sea. As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more.”

Just at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the poor man and stopped. She said to him, “Listen! I want to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition: all that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground shall become dust. Do you understand?”

“Oh, yes,” said the poor man.

“Then be careful,” said Fortune. “Your wallet is old, so do not load it too heavily.”

The beggar was so glad that he quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of yellow dollars poured into it. The wallet grew heavy.

“Is that enough?” asked Fortune.

“Not yet.”

“Isn’t the wallet cracking （裂开）?”

“Never fear.”

The beggar’s hands began to tremble. Ah, if the gold would only pour forever!

“You are the richest man in the world now!”

“Just a little more, add just a handful or two.”

Another piece was added, and the wallet cracked. The treasure fell upon the ground and turned to dust. The beggar had nothing now but his empty wallet. He was as poor as before.

1.What happened to the wealthy businessman?

A.He was robbed of his money. B.His ships sank at sea.

C.His treasure turned to dust. D.He gave his money to the poor.

2.Why do you think Fortune gave the gold to the poor man?

A.She wanted to make the poor man the richest in the world.

B.She had too much gold already.

C.She wanted to teach the poor man a lesson.

D.She liked the way the poor man spoke.

3.Which word best describes the poor man?

A.weak B.happy

C.wise D.greedy

4.What is the best title for this article?

A.The poor man and Fortune

B.The poor man and the businessman

Samuel L. Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, started off his writing career (事业) in 1865 with his big hit story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County — a story-within- a-story told to a listener by an old California miner. From that day on, the works of the great humorist always had different animals.

Some members of Twain’s literary (文学的) animals were based on real animals, such as the Clemens family’s named pet cats. Some were imaginary, like that celebrated jumping frog.

As a boy in Missouri, he got pleasure from knowing the animals of the woods; in old age,　 he felt a deep relationship with the animals large and small that he met in his travels. His cats, family dog, horses, donkeys, and calf also won his three daughters’ love at their Hartford home. On March 22, 2018, to mark this part of Twain’s personal life, The Mark Twain House & Museum opened a new exhibition (展览), Tails of Twain: How Animals Shaped the Man & His Work. The exhibition was rich with exhibits from the museum’s collections.

The king of the animals in Twain’s world was the cat, “the only creature in heaven or earth or anywhere that don’t have to obey (听从) somebody or other, including the angels.” He was known to be the proud pet parent of 19 cats during his childhood. As an adult, the Clemens　 home always had a named cat. Even on vacation, the Clemens family borrowed cats from locals to live with them. Dogs were considered second-class pets, but Twain liked them. Twain once wrote an ode (颂诗) to his dead dog Burns: “She lived a quiet harmless life in Hartford ...”

In true Twainism, humans were not as loved as the “Higher Animals”. Even the most low- down animal, however, was superior in Twain’s eyes to “the human race.” After all, he did write once “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel.”

1.What can we learn about The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County?

A.It tells a story of Twain’s family pet.

B.It was written for Twain’s three daughters.

C.It made Twain pay attention to animals.

D.It was Twain’s first great success as a writer.

2.What’s the main purpose of the new exhibition?

A.To introduce how Twain spent his childhood.

B.To exhibit some of Twain’s best-sellers.

C.To show Twain’s different hobbies.

D.To show Twain’s love for animals.

3.What does the underlined word “superior” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.richer B.better

C.quieter D.stronger
