A [2017·赤峰改编]

One pleasant New Year morning, Edward got up and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be the first

to wish a happy New Year.

He looked in every room, and shouted “Happy New Year” to every one of his family. Then he ran into

the street to repeat it to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him two new dollars. His face

lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some nice books.

As he ran down the street with a light heart to the bookshop, he saw a poor German family—the father,

mother and three children walking in the cold wind.

“I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head.

“You do not belong to this country?” asked Edward. The man shook his head again, because he could not

understand or speak English. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children. He seemed to say, “These little

ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”

Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave

one to the man, and the other to his wife. They said something in their language, which meant, “Thank you

very much, and we will remember you forever.”

B [2019·原创]

A bookstore chain(连锁书店), “Popular Bookmall(大众书局)”, introduced their unique style of book

distribution(分销) in Shanghai back in November. This experimental store offers books at very low prices,

and there is no staff(职员) to require shoppers to pay before taking books away. Sounds like a book lover’s

paradise(天堂)!

Popular Bookmall had already set up such a shop in Nanjing. The organizers of the Nanjing store report

that it was a great success; enough shoppers voluntarily paid for their books. But most older “honesty stores”

in China did not receive enough honest shoppers. For example, a self-service restaurant opened in Fujian

Province years ago which allowed shoppers to pay whatever they chose, but about one-fifth of shoppers paid

nothing. Therefore some people have speculated(推断) that Chinese are becoming more honest. The

organizers of the “honesty stores” say that their goal is to encourage people in China to remember how

important honesty is.

Many Chinese are worried about dishonesty in China. Even at Popular Bookmall, not everybody chose

to pay for their books. How can we encourage ourselves to be honest? We should listen to our conscience(良

心). This has deep roots in Chinese culture. Confucius(孔子) taught Chinese to be conscientious and honest.

But there is also a great rational(理性的) reason for “honesty stores”: the more honest people there are

in society, the more reasons we have to trust others. And if people trusted each other, they’d be more willing

to share. We could contribute to a “sharing economy” where you do not have to think about saving or

spending money all the time, but helping other people. For all these reasons, society is built on trust, not only

trade.
