黑龙江省龙东地区(农垦·森工)2020年中考英语试卷
Every Friday night, Winston would stand at the gate of the railway station, playing his violin happily. He smiled to everyone and many people put money into the hat in front of him. One day, Winston showed up and put his hat on the ground as usual. But different from what he always did in the past days, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground.
It said—Last night, a gentleman named George Miller left an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come soon, Mr. Miller. About half an hour later, a middle-aged man rushed to Winston in a hurry and said, "It's you! I know you are an honest man and will certainly be here."
Winston asked, "Are you Mr. Miller? Did you lose anything?" "A lottery ticket!" answered the middle-aged man. Winston then returned it to the man. Yesterday when the man knew that his ticket was worth $ 500,000, he was so excited! Then he realized that he threw the ticket together with the money into the young man's hat!
Someone asked Winston, "you play the violin to make money. Why didn't you keep the ticket and take the prize for yourself?" Winston replied, "though I don't have much money, I live happily now. But if I lose honesty, I won't be happy forever."
