Question

【題目】 Matt Smith was about 10 years old when his father died. His mother found it difficult to provide for a large family. Still, she decided to send her oldest child Matt to school and buy him the books he needed.

At one time, Matt wanted a grammar book in order to join a class. But the book was so expensive that his mother couldn’t afford it.

He was very upset about this and went to bed with a heavy heart, thinking about what could be done to get the book.

As soon as he woke in the morning, he found that a heavy snow had fallen and the cold wind was blowing hard. “Ah”, he said, “ every problem brings a solution for some people.” He got up, ran to his neighbor’s house and offered to clean the snow from their sidewalk(人行道). His offer was accepted, after he completed this work and received his pay, he went to another neighbor and offered the same service. Then he went to several other houses until he had enough money to buy the grammar book.
