Willy, a merchant, returned home to his own country from a faraway continent, where he had succeeded making a small fortune by hard work. He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party.
He was in such a happy mood and in the joy of the moment, he did not even bother changing his grey flannel（法兰绒）suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.
When he entered the brilliantly lit room, his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.
A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated at this and said to Willy, “What a wonderful reception you have received from these people. They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home.”
“Just wait and see!” whispered Willy, “They will soon change their looks!” Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger. All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn’t know what to do. A man shook his hand, a cousin threw his arms around him, and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.
“Has this beautiful, precious ring of yours the power of magic people?” asked the young man.
“Oh, no!” replied Willy, “They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich, and, unfortunately, they place wealth above everything else.”
"What blind people!" exclaimed the young man. “It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches. Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord? And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues（美德）!”
【小题1】 In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends?

There is a small village named Bugu in the mountains of Shanglin County, Guangxi. The place is so small that it can’t be found in the map of the county of Shanglin. However, the place has strongly interested experts(专家) both at home and abroad.
There are altogether 81 families in the village with more than 540 people. Among them as many as 156 villagers have a university education. Take this year’s college entrance examination for example. Six out of nine students from the village who took the examination were taken into universities.
Going to school has been a great thing for the whole village. To encourage children to study hard and become useful people, the village has set up a special group made up of four old villagers. Every day, the four villagers go round the village. If they find any child who is not going to school, the child’s parents will be punished（惩罚）.
When university students come back to the village for the Spring Festival,the old villagers of the special group always ask them to make up test papers and let the children take the special “Village Test”. Those who are taken into university can receive money from the village’s education fund. The whole village also helps the poor families send their children to school.
