When Lydia Nash appeared on the TV programme Who wants to be a millionaire? and was fortunate enough to win £16,000,she decided to give all the money away. This wouldn't have been surprising if she had been rich or famous,but Lydia is a 19-year-old student.
Lydia gave all the money to a charity which helps orphans in Thailand. ul first visited the orphanage when I was seventeen,and I felt very depressed by what I saw. When I got back to England I felt angry — looking around all I could see were people who were obsessed with money. That persuaded me to return to Thailand the following year."
After she donated the money some of her friends thought that she had made the wrong decision. “Some people said I should have saved it for a deposit,” Lydia said. aStudents always complain about being poor. But there's an enormous difference between us and people who have absolutely no money."
With the help of the money Lydia gave them,the charity has just finished building “Rainbow House”,a new facility that will house 50 young children.
If Lydia had won a million pounds and not only £16,000,would she still have given away all the money? She said, “Before going on the show I thought a lot about what it would be like to have a lot of money and I realized that I wouldn't like it at all. And as I had been to the orphanage and had seen all the work that needed to be done,I knew how useful that money could be. I definitely think I got more enjoyment from giving the money away than if I had kept it for myself."
1. Why were people surprised at Lydia's donation?
A. She is an orphan.
B. She isn’t very famous.
C. She is young and not very wealthy.
D. She donated a large amount of money.

probably mean.
A. very proud of B. very careless of
C. too interested in D. rather generous with
3. According to the text,the charity used Lydia's money to.
A. buy many books B. buy some clothes
C. build a playground D. build a new house
