On a Friday night in New York, a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station, playing the violin. The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his hat.
The next day, Jay came again. He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to. Before long, many people came, looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat. Please came to claim (认领) it soon.”
Seeing this, people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said, “I’m the George. I knew you’d surely come here!”
Then George explained the whole story. He bought a lottery ticket a few days ago. Yesterday he found that he won a prize of $500,000. He was very excited. On his way home, he felt the music was so wonderful that he took out $100 and put it on the hat. However, the lottery ticket with his name on was also thrown in.
Jay was a student at an arts school in Paris. He had booked the flight and would fly that morning. However, when he happened to find the ticket holder had won the lottery, he cancelled the flight and came back to the subway station.
Later someone asked Jay,” Why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?” He said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since
nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt
water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and
other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.?
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is
becoming larger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem
now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on.?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop
ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer
system (下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.?
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do
to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger
of drying up.?
B. we haven't got enough fresh water
C. only 70% of the earth's surface is water
D. more water is sent into sewer systems
B. fresh and enough?
C. dear and useful?
D. clean and helpful?
(a) Make full use of the sea water.?
(b) Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.?
(c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.?
(d) Do our best to use the water again.?
(e) Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.?
B. (a) and (d)?
C. (a), (c) and (d)
D. (b), (d) and (e)?
B. make the water in cities clean
C. take water from underground ?
D. make the need for water smaller ?
B. The World's Water Problem?
C. The Thirsty World ?
D. Fresh Water and Sea Water?
