Listening and Speaking

2 Listen to the news report and match the people with the correct information.

Recently,a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act.

The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan  Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag  near  a  chair  and  discovered  100,000  yuan  inside.Chen  was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.

When interviewed by the local paper yesterday,Chen said,"I would have felt bad if l had kept the money.After all,the owner might have needed it badly.”

While working,Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have   been the owner.She waited for over two hours,but having no luck,   she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in.There,it   was   finally   returned  to   its owner,Wang Zheng.                            

Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward.To his surprise,however, Chen refused,believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.

But what  is  even  more  surprising,perhaps,is  that  Chen's  daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill.Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.

Fortunately,Ma  Dongbao,who  works   at  the  police  station,stepped in.Living  in  the  same  apartment  building  as  Chen's  family,Ma  was well aware of Chen's difficulties.When Wang was told about Chen's situation,he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital  bills.

Chen Liyan's example shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important,but to people like Chen,it definitely isn't everything. And that's a great attitude to take.
