In 1995，Oseola McCarty gave a present of $150 000 to the University of Southern Mississippi. She wanted to help poor students. It was a very generous thing to do. But her friends and neighbors were surprised. McCarty was a good woman. She went to church. She was always friendly and helpful. But everyone in her town knew that McCarty was not rich. In fact，she was poor.
How did a poor 86-year-old woman have so much money？ Oseola McCarty was born in 1908 in Hattiesburg，Mississippi. She had to leave school when she was eight years old to help her family. She took a job washing clothes. She earned only a few dollars a day. Oseola washed the clothes by hand. Then she hung the clothes to dry. She did this for nearly 80 years. In the 1960s，she bought an automatic washer and dryer. But she gave them away. She did not think they got the clothes clean enough！At that time，many people started to buy their own washers and dryers. McCarty did not have much work， so she started to iron clothes instead.
McCarty never married or had children. Her life was very simple. She went to work and to church. She read her Bible （圣經(jīng)）。She had a black-and-white television. But she did not watch it very much. It had only one channel.
McCarty saved money all her life and eventually had about $250 000. When she was 86，a lawyer helped her make a will. She left money to the church，her relatives，and the university. McCarty just wanted to help others. She did not think she was a special person. But then people found out about her present to the university. She received many honors （榮譽(yù)）。She even flew in an airplane for the first time！Oseola McCarty died in 1999. She was a shy and ordinary woman who became famous.

答案與解析
1. 選A.第1段解釋了她這一舉動(dòng)的用意：She wanted to help poor students.她這樣做都是為了要幫助貧困學(xué)生，所以答案為A.
2. 選A.從第2段我們知道Oseola McCarty是一個(gè)poor 86-year-old woman.她在8歲時(shí)就不得不離開(kāi)學(xué)校來(lái)幫助養(yǎng)家，可知她的家里也是貧窮的。她出生在Hattiesburg， Mississippi.可見(jiàn)這里應(yīng)該離the University of Southern Mississippi不遠(yuǎn)。所以A項(xiàng)是正確的。
3. 選D.在第3段我們知道McCarty never married or had children. 她一直自己一個(gè)人生活，因此D項(xiàng)是正確的。
4. 選C.在第3段作者介紹了她的簡(jiǎn)單生活。她只工作和去教堂，她只讀她的圣經(jīng)，她有一部黑白電視機(jī)但不怎么看，而且它只有一個(gè)頻道。可見(jiàn)她并沒(méi)有很多的愛(ài)好，所以說(shuō)她的生活是simple life.答案選擇C.
5. 選D.McCarty出生在1908年，死于1999年，享年91歲，所以選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤；在第2段可以知道她洗衣服for nearly 80 years，所以選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤；最后一段我們知道She left money to the church， her relatives， and the university.所以選項(xiàng)C也是錯(cuò)誤的；而因?yàn)樗龅倪@些貢獻(xiàn)，She received many honors. 所以D是正確的。
