      In the busy city of New York, such an astonishing thing ever happened.
     On a Friday night, a poor young artist' stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many
 people slowed down their paces, and put some money into the hat of the young man.
     The next day, the young artist came to the gate of the subway station, and put his hat on the ground
 gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on me ground and
  put some stones on it. Before long, the young violinist ,was surrounded with people, who were all
 attracted by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an i
 mportant thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it soon."
     Seeing this, it caused a great excitement and people wondered what it could be. After about half an
 hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his
  shoulders and said, "Yes, it's you. You did come here. I knew that you're an honest man and would
 certainly come here"
     The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr. George Sang?"
     The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?"
     "Lottery, it's lottery," said the man.
     The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen. "Is it?" he asked.
     George nodded promptly and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it, and then he danced with the
 violinist.
     The story turned out to be this: George Sang is an office clerk. He bought a lottery ticket issued by a
 bank a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very
 happy after work and felt the music was so wonderful, that he took out 50 dollars and put in the hat. How
 ever the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned
 to attend advanced studies in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and! would fly that morning. However
 when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket. Thinking that the owner would return to look for it, he
  cancelled-the flight and came pack to where he was given the lottery ticket.
     Later someone asked the violinist: "At that time you were in needed to pay the tuition fee and you had
 to play the violin in the subway station every day to make the money. Then why didn't you take the lottery
  ticket for yourself?"
     The violinist said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won't be
 happy forever."

     You don't need millions to be happy. In fact, at the Happiness Training Centre in Australia, a couple
of hundred dollars may be enough. The training centre opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and
women of all ages have been paying A $ 200 an hour for lessons on how to feel great. "You can really increase
your happiness levels. That's what we teach, " said Timothy Sharp, beginner of the centre.
     Experts say that only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from income and finance(收入及财务). As
much as 85 per cent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships.
     Most of us are better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven't
changed to match that.
     Studies show that once the basic needs of housing and food are met, other wealth adds very little to
happiness.
     Scientists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to
people better off. "
     The fact is that if you want to be happy, there's a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to
people who are less well off than you-poorer, smaller house, etc. ," said Sharp.
     The Happiness Training Centre hopes to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors(因素) by
paying attention to" more than just your bank account".
    "If I compare myself to Bill Gates, then I'm always going to be down," said Sharp.
1. Do people need a lot of money to be happy?
   _____________________________________
2. When did the Happiness Training Centre open?
    _____________________________________
3. Who's the beginner of the Happiness Training Centre in Australia? 
    _____________________________________
4. What does happiness depend on according to the passage? 
     _____________________________________
5. What does the last sentence mean? 
    _____________________________________

I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten(幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes.
I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “
It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching(令人感动的) as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes !”
【小题1】What is this passage mainly about?
A.Love and goodness.B.Culture and tradition.
C.Friendship and honesty.D.Communication and understanding.
【小题2】Why did the writer and the woman both feel glad?
A.Because the boy had saved some money.
B.Because they both didn’t need to give anything.
C.Because the cashier didn’t look down on the boy.
D.Because all the shoppers around were willing to help the boy.
【小题3】What’s the correct order of the following events?
a. The cashier got enough money for the boy’s shirt.
b. The cashier counted the boy’s money.
c. The shoppers looked for some change in their pockets.
d. The boy went to the line to pay.
