One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 21   bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 22. Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple（弄皱）the 23. He then asked the audience, “ 24 still wants it ?” Still the hands went 25  in the air.

“ What 26 I do this? ” He asked, and he 27 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 28  it up. Now the bill was 29 and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.

“My friends,” He continued, “You have all 30 a good lesson . No matter 31 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 32. It was still worth $20. Many times in our 33, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 34 wrong decisions, or we may 35 with something we do not 36.When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 37. But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not 38 what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 39, but on its inner value.’ This is the 40 of life.

When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.

Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC.

“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to enjoy himself because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.

She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.

Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.

Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.

1.What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about?

A. Durant’s career path.

D. Durant’s mother’s struggling to be independent.
