High school students have a lot more power than they may realize.
Belscher 1 a dollar on the floor when having his English class. When the school day 2, Belscher walked back to the classroom. He could easily have 3 it, for the wrinkled (皱巴巴的) bill was still there. 4, he brought the old bill to his English teacher, —Mattison.
Mattison was a little 5 he'd turned; in the dollar, knowing a lot of people would have just kept it. She 6 that Belscher tape(d)it to the whiteboard, where she always puts 7 things.
A day or two later, the school shut down for Easter 8. Neither the teacher nor her student thought twice about the dollar. After school, a boy named Tom spotted the dollar on the whiteboard. "There was a 9 to it." Tom says. He asked Mattison why it was there. She replied, "I don't know." Then Tom 10 a second dollar.
The 11 of the two dollar bills side by side triggered (触发) something in Mattison's students. They started asking about the 12 of the money, to which Mattison always gave the 13 answer: She didn't know.
However, the students, among themselves, decided and understood Mattison had some good 14 final plan and goal. So, they wanted to be part of whatever this was. They 15 their savings and the amount continue to grow. As for the 16 dollar, the person who lost it never came looking.
That left Mattison to make the best decision. She thought of her brother-in-law, Jack Hains, who had died of ALS, a 17 and deadly disease. His sister died of the same 18. Mattison asked the teens whether they 19 if they donated (捐赠) the money. Their answer was that they definitely didn't. Then, they 20 peeled (剥开) the cash off the board and made the donation to the ALS Institute established to find a cure for the disease.
