To arrive at a reasonable judgement on the value of money.If you suddenly got a large amount of money , what would you do with it?Discuss the good deed of returning lost money. Before you listen, discuss these questions in pairs.1. What do people have to buy in order to lead a good life?2. What can people not buy with money?3. Is money the basis of a happy life? Why or why not?In order to have a good life, people should be able to buy food, clothes, a place to live, and medical care. The old saying that "You can't buy love" is certainly true. Money will not make people love you in a real way, nor will it build a happy family and strong friendships.Money is not the basis of a happy life, as many people are able to find joy in simple things of life, such as nature, their work, and their families. On the other hand, it can be quite hard to live without money, so realistically speaking, having enough money to meet the daily needs can help a person pay more attetion to things that bring joy. 为了能够干某事...的基础例如另一方面实事求是地说将更多的注意力放在...Before-listeningA. the owner of the lost money.B. a cleaner at Taiyuan railway station C. a police officer living in Chen’s apartment building D.

FFFTF Recently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act. The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100, 000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner. When interviewed by the local paper yesterday, Chen said, “I would have felt bad if I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly.”听力原文 While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng. Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned. But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. 听力原文 Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan. Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen's difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills. Chen Liyan's example shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely isn't everything. And that's a great attitude to take. Now in other news, one city in...
