Question

On a Friday night，a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. The music was so great that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat.
The next day，the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said，“A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(認領(lǐng))it.”Soon the people were all attracted by the words and wondered what it could be. After a while a man rushed through the crowd，took the violinist’s shoulders and said，“I knew you would certainly come here.”The violinist asked，“Did you lose something?”“Lottery(彩票).”The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Sang’s name on it. Sang took it and danced happily.
Sang was an office worker. He bought the lottery and won a prize of$500，000.But when he gave$50 to the violinist for his wonderful music，the lottery ticket was thrown in, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning，he was going to fly to Vienna for high education. However，when he found the ticket，he cancelled the flight and returned to the entrance.
Later someone asked the violinist why he didn’t take the lottery ticket to pay the tuition fee(學(xué)費).He said“Although I don’t have much money，I live happily. If I lose honesty(誠實)，I won’t be happy forever.”

解析試題分析：短文大意：一個星期五的晚上，一個貧窮的年輕小提琴家在地鐵站門口拉小提琴。音樂是如此之美妙以致人們放慢腳步傾聽并放一些錢在他的帽子。第二天，小提琴手又來到這里。他像往常一樣放下帽子。在帽子上有一張紙寫道：“喬治桑錯將一份很重要的東西放在我的禮帽。歡迎索認領(lǐng)它。一段時間后，一個男人沖進人群，把小提琴手的肩膀說，“我就知道你一定會來”。喬治桑是一個辦公室工作人員。他買了彩票，中獎50萬美元。，由于美妙的音樂，他拿50美元給小提琴家，把彩票也拋了出去。小提琴手是一個大學(xué)生。那天早上，他將飛往維也納接受高等教育。然而，當他發(fā)現(xiàn)了票，他取消了航班返回入口。后來有人問他為什么不把彩票當學(xué)費。他說：“雖然我沒錢，但我活得很快樂。如果我沒了誠信，我永遠不會快樂。”
