A teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one woman’s act of
kindness.
Jayden Sutton, a high school senior, went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then
back home. Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.
Sutton said he’d leave school at 3:30 pm, then walk miles to his job at the restaurant. After his work, which
usually lasted six to eight hours, he walked home, sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.
That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December. “The young man was
insistently in a rush walking to work, saying ‘I can’t be late,’” Myers said. “He begged me to give him a ride. I told
him I could take him as far as I was going. I began to create small talk along the way. It wasrevealedto me that his
name was Jayden, 12th grader, worked 40 hours a week, walked 5 miles to work immediately after school, got off
at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didn’t offer a ride.”
After dropping Sutton off, Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears. “He was smiling in
good spirits and that’s a child worth blessing,” she told Fox News. So, Myers shared Sutton’s story on the
GoFundMe page, which raised more than $ 9, 000 from 186 donors.
She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of
the vehicle to meet the budget. 4. Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?
A. To gain working experience. B. To pay for his education.
C. To own a car. D. To support his family.
5. What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?
A. He worked longer than other workers. B. His work was too tiring.
C. His job was much less paid. D. He had to walk to work.
6. What does the underlined word “revealed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Known. B. Attached. C. Believed. D. Limited.
7. What do we know about the money donated online?
A. It could buy more than a new car.
B. It was not enough to buy a new car.
C. It was given to Myers to buy herself a new car.
D It mainly came from a car sales manager.
C
