(2025届河南省南阳市高三模拟)One January evening in2o08,Rachel Lapierre bought a
$4 lottery ticket at the grocery store.As a nearly full-time emergency-room nurse and part-time
volunteer aid worker,after an exhausting day cutting sugar maples,she needed something to lift
her spirits.For years,Lapierre had done humanitarian work overseas for organizations and she
肿
longed to be able to one day quit her nursing job and focus on the volunteer work she found most
fulfilling.
She swore to herself that if she ever won the lottery,that's what she would do.Lapierre
went home and scratched her ticket,revealing three sunny faces.Not sure what they meant,she
took it to a corner store,where the ticket-checking machine went berserk but didn't reveal the
北
prize.The next day,the lottery office informed her that she had won a lump sum of 6,75,000
or $1,000 a week for life.She chose the latter."I know myself,"she says."The lump sum
would have melted like snow in the sun.
Staying true to her word,Lapierre quit her nursing job and dedicated her life to helping
others through her passion project,Le Book Humanitaire,which has since become a registered
栽
charity.Le Book,as Lapierre,now 62,affectionately calls it,began as a simple list of good
deeds she jotted down in a black-and-white notebook.She had been using it to keep track of what
she had done to help those living in the small communities around her.
To her,the deeds were just small acts of kindness that anyone else might have done.But
word started spreading,her phone began ringing and a Facebook page she created for the project
常
became an efficient way to field requests from those in need and those who wanted to help.
Le Book Humanitaire now has a team of 80 volunteers.The non-profit provides local
emergency support,homeless and medical out-reach,food delivery for seniors and a community
fridge.Its kitchen volunteers make about 500 meals a day,with all food donated from local
restaurants,hospitals and schools.
The book itself It has since been replaced by dozens more,representing millions of deeds.
In 2022 alone,the organization carried out nearly 4,50,000 acts of service.
