問題詳情:
If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well that’s what Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder (創始人) of Facebook, just said he would do. Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 99 percent of their Facebook shares (股份) to society throughout their lifetime. Right now that is about $45 billion (289 billion yuan), and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.
Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, which is where billionaires promise to gradually give away more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries signed up for it.
But giving back and helping others isn’t just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it too.
Especially around the holidays, people want to do their part and give back to people who are less lucky than them. Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items, and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless shelters.
People also host special events like concerts or runs to be creative while raising money. Regular (普通的) people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.
Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education, health and improving the lives of the poor. These individual (單獨的) donations come together to make a big difference.
