阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Laurie Johnston took a gift of 200 more than a half-century ago and turned it into 1 million.
The urge for his philanthropy (慈善事业) dates back to 1949 when Johnston was a cash-strapped student in his fourth year of pharmacy (药学) school. He was considering taking a year off to work when a friend of the family called him over one day and handed him an envelope containing $200. “That was a huge amount of money back then. She told me to use it for my schooling and pay it back for somebody else in the future.” Johnston said.
返回导航
His experience as a child of the Great Depression also played a key role in his philanthropic tendencies. Johnston's mother would cook for young men who would ride the railway in search of odd jobs to make a few dollars here and there. So, he decided to build a special legacy (遗产) fund. Shortly after he graduated from university, Johnston started saving money and 22 years later, he had accumulated $80,000.
返回导航
Johnston never took a cent out of the fund for himself and credited a simple saying for being able to build up his million-dollar career. “Never buy what you want, just buy what you need,” he said.
返回导航
Sheldon Mindell, manager of Riverview Health Centre Foundation, said Johnston's gift will be put towards rebuilding its 30 care beds, including installing flat-screen televisions and a Wi-Fi system. Mindell also wants to upgrade a meeting area into a place where a family could eat a meal in relative privacy, rather than in the cafeteria.
