In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.
This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.
Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.
You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.
People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who can’t afford their medicine or a doctor’s care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.
The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because ________.
they hadn’t solved the problems thoroughly
they expected to be paid back in the future.
they were friends of the worried individual
they had solved the problems secretly
The underlined word “pay it forward” means ________.
to repay someone who has helped you
to help someone else who needs help
to help someone who has helped you
to pay someone else who needs help
What does the writer suggest with the example of “your elderly grandmother”?
We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.
We should work hard to get a good education.
We should learn to respect our grandparents.
We should never forget to repay people for their help.
By writing the passage, the author wishes people in the world to be ________.
A. honest B. mysterious C. unselfish D. unforgettable
