On a Friday night，a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. The music was so great that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat.
The next day，the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said，“A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(认领)it.”Soon the people were all attracted by the words and wondered what it could be. After a while a man rushed through the crowd，took the violinist’s shoulders and said，“I knew you would certainly come here.”The violinist asked，“Did you lose something?”“Lottery(彩票).”The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Sang’s name on it. Sang took it and danced happily.
Sang was an office worker. He bought the lottery and won a prize of$500，000.But when he gave$50 to the violinist for his wonderful music，the lottery ticket was thrown in, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning，he was going to fly to Vienna for high education. However，when he found the ticket，he cancelled the flight and returned to the entrance.
Later someone asked the violinist why he didn’t take the lottery ticket to pay the tuition fee(学费).He said“Although I don’t have much money，I live happily. If I lose honesty(诚实)，I won’t be happy forever.”

解析

试题分析：短文大意：一个星期五的晚上，一个贫穷的年轻小提琴家在地铁站门口拉小提琴。音乐是如此之美妙以致人们放慢脚步倾听并放一些钱在他的帽子。第二天，小提琴手又来到这里。他像往常一样放下帽子。在帽子上有一张纸写道：“乔治桑错将一份很重要的东西放在我的礼帽。欢迎索认领它。一段时间后，一个男人冲进人群，把小提琴手的肩膀说，“我就知道你一定会来”。乔治桑是一个办公室工作人员。他买了彩票，中奖50万美元。，由于美妙的音乐，他拿50美元给小提琴家，把彩票也抛了出去。小提琴手是一个大学生。那天早上，他将飞往维也纳接受高等教育。然而，当他发现了票，他取消了航班返回入口。后来有人问他为什么不把彩票当学费。他说：“虽然我没钱，但我活得很快乐。如果我没了诚信，我永远不会快乐。”
