The next day, the artist came again. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he the violin and began playing. On the paper it said, “Last night a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to it soon.”

It caused a great excitement among the and people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran there. “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 , “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. “Did you lose something?” “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 the lottery ticket and kissed it.

The story turned out to be this: George Sang bought a lottery ticket. The awards opened yesterday and he won a of $500,000. He was so happy, but when he took out 50 dollars to put in the hat, the lottery ticket was also thrown in.

Later someone asked the violinist, “At that time you were in need to pay the fee and you had to play the violin every day to make the money. Then why didn’t you the lottery 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.”

试题分析：本文主要讲了，一个艺术大学的小提琴手在地铁站表演，来往的人由于被他的表演吸引，所以都停下脚步往他的帽子里放钱，当他准备飞到维也纳进修时，他发现有一个叫George Sang的人将获得50万美元的彩票扔到了他的帽子里。于是他回到上次表演的地方等待那个人回来拿彩票，最终他等到了那个人。人们问那个小提琴手为什么不自己兑换彩票，他回答尽管我没有很多钱，但我很开心，但是如果我丢失了诚信，我永远都不会开心。这个故事告诉我们在我们的生命中我们会获得很多，也会失去很多，但是我们应该永远保有诚信。
