Many of these centers also have a children’s soft play area, so you know children will be safe while they burn off some energy.

The Chinese version of TikTok-Douyin is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time children under the age of 14 spend on the short-form video app to 40 minutes a day.
The measure will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered for the app using their real names, Beijing-based ByteDance announced in a statement on Saturday.
Douyin will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., the owner of TikTok and Douyin added.
The company also urged parents to help their children register with real names, or otherwise manually enable “teenage mode.” ByteDance did not immediately respond to a question from CNN Business about how it might enforce (执行) the- policy for those who don’t use then real names.
The app also said it would introduce new content-ranging from science experiments and museums to art gallery exhibition and natural scenery-by ByteDance to get ahead of potential regulation analysts at Citigroup Global Markets wrote in a Monday research note. They suggested that the decision could push other internet platforms with short video content to look at implementing similar restrictions.
“Self-assessment and voluntary implementation (履行) of minor-protection measures by more platforms could help suggest platforms are being more socially responsible and potentially reassure parents and regulators,” they added.
Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to media research firm iiMedia Research.
Chinese regulators have already started pressuring tech companies to curb the amount of time minors spend on their services.
In June, China revised its “Minor Protection law,” which requires internet service providers including social media apps-to “set-up corresponding functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.”
Douyin’s rival Kuaishou-which is backed by Tencent-introduced a similar setting for minors in2019.
China’s pressure on tech companies is part of sweeping new regulations on businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy crackdown-on-private tutoring to rules for online gaming.
Last month, the country barred online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends.
4. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Tech companies are limiting entertainment.
B Tech companies are facing a lot of pressure.
C. Douyin is limiting kids to 40 minutes a day.
D. Young generation is banned from short videos.
5. What does the underlined word “curb” probably mean
A. save B. control
C. increase D. minimize
6. Why does Douyin introduce new content to its platform
A. Because it is required by Chinese regulators.
B. Because it fits the current trend in regulations.
C. Because it can appeal to more young people.
D. Because it can help grab more market share.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Children under 18 will not be able to use Douyin on weekdays.
B. The “teenage mode” aims to help students focus 0on studies.
C. Kuaishou is the first company to introduce setting for minors.
D. There still exists some problem about “teenage mode”.
C
Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for lazy, you might even be angry. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of resentment (不满). But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Franks de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(代币) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but connected rooms, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.
In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either threw her own token at the researcher or out of the room, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to inspire resentment in a female capuchin.
The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, tike humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous anger, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolves independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.
8. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by____.
A. making a comparison B. making an assumption
C. giving a conclusion D. explaining a phenomenon
9. The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph 1) implies that____.
A. anger towards unfairness is also monkey’s nature
B. monkeys arc also angered by lazy rivals
C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other
D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions
10. Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys____.
A. prefer grapes to cucumbers
B. will not be co-operative if feeling cheated
C. can be taught to exchange things
D. are unhappy when separated from others
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.
B. Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.
C. Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.
D. How a sense of fairness in humans evolves is uncertain.
D
If you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen. You’ve probably even experienced it: Football players shaking hands after four quarter of knocking each other around. Tennis players jumping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. It’s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handing both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.
What Is Sportsmanship
Some people define good sportsmanship as the “golden rule” of sports-in other words treating the people you play with and against as you’d like to be treated yourself. You show good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.
But sportsmanship isn’t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders fans, and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.
Win or Lose, Sportsmanship Helps You Get Through
Everyone feels great when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport when you’ve won a game as when you’ve lost one. Good sportsmanship takes maturity and courage-when you work really hard at a sport, it’s not easy to admit you made a bad play or that someone has more skills than you. In competition-as in life-you may not always win but you can learn something from losing, too.
When you do lose-and it will happen-don’t take it out on your opponent, blame the officials, or blame your team. When it comes to losing, good sportsmanship means congratulating-the winners promptly and willingly, Also, it means accepting the game’s outcome without complaint and without excuses, even if you sometimes might suspect the referees made some questionable calls.
When you win, the trick is to be a gracious and generous winner. Good sportsmanship means acknowledging victories without humiliating opponents, being quietly proud of success, and letting victories speak for themselves. Even if you win by a landslide, good sportsmanship means still finding ways to compliment your opponents.
Practicing Good Sportsmanship
Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, work hard, and realize that on a team, everyone deserves a chance to play.
Talk politely and act courteously toward everyone before, during, and after games and events.
Stay cool. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn’t mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you’ve practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game.
Avoid settling disputes with violence. If you’re in a difficult situation or someone’s threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official.
Cheer your teammates on with positive statements-and avoid trash-talking (废话) the other team.
Acknowledge good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them.
Whether you win or lose, congratulate your opponents on a game well played.
Fair and Fun
Good sportsmanship means not having a “____” attitude. Most athletes who don’t have a “____” attitude are more likely to talk about how much they love their sport and how much personal satisfaction and enjoyment they get from participation alone.
So although it’s great to be a champion, it’s even better to have enjoyed the process of trying to reach the top. It’s best to play fair while having fun.
12. What’s the main purpose of giving the examples in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To arouse readers’ interest in sports.
C. To show the friendship between sports players.
D. To tell readers the common phenomenon after sports competition.
13. What does the underlined phrase “take it out on” mean
A. accept B. praise
C. ignore D. blame
14. Which of the followings does the author agree with
A. Nothing to learn from winning. B. Accept the outcome willingly.
C. Never doubt referees’ judgment. D. Tolerate others’ rudeness.
15 Which of the attitude can be fit in the blank
A. swallow your pride B. take it personally
C. win at any cost D. fair play

It was the middle of the day on a bright sunny Saturday, and Jay and his friends Mike and Tony were riding their dirt bikes on one of their favorite, off-road trails. The trail twisted and turned through some incredible plants. Occasionally Jay and his friends would stop to climb a tree and find a comfortable branch to sit on so they could take a break from riding in the heat. On this particular day, Jay and the boys were resting in one of their preferred trees when Jay spotted
something shiny on the ground. “What do you think that could be he asked Mike and Tony as he pointed out the object reflecting the sun.
They all hopped down from their individual branches and went to take a closer look. What they found was incomprehensible to them. It was a wallet holding five hundred dollars. Mike immediately exclaimed, “Awesome! We can split up the money, and we will each be much closer to being able to buy the new bikes we want. Tony also felt excited. “We can’t keep the money.” said Jay. “It isn’t ours. Aren’t we more mature than to play finders keepers like we did when we were kids ”
“Stop being such an advocate for honesty,” sighed Mike and Tony. “Whoever lost the money wasn’t very responsible and should learn a lesson about walking around with that much cash on them anyhow,” added Tony. “Let’s all go home and think about this,” Jay suggested and the other two agreed. Jay kept the money, and they all rode their bikes home. They decided to meet up after dinner at the head of the off-road trail. Mike and Tony lived on the same street so they rode home most of the way together. They were able to talk a bit more without Jay’s input. It was not long before they came to see Jay’s point and they could imagine how upset they would be if they accidentally lost something important to them.
Jay, Mike and Tony met back up after dinner. Mike and Tony admitted that Jay was right. They all rode their bikes to the police station together to tum in the wallet and its holdings. The police officer who to the report about the found wallet told them that he was impressed with their honesty. He took Jay’s phone number just in case. Jay left knowing he did the right thing. Mike and Tony even felt better about the situation.
The next morning, Jay received a phone call asking him to go to the police station.2021-2022学年江苏省苏州市苏州中学高二第一次月考(10月)英语试卷

The Chinese version of TikTok-Douyin is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time children under the age of 14 spend on the short-form video app to 40 minutes a day.
The measure will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered for the app using their real names, Beijing-based ByteDance announced in a statement on Saturday.
Douyin will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., the owner of TikTok and Douyin added.
The company also urged parents to help their children register with real names, or otherwise manually enable “teenage mode.” ByteDance did not immediately respond to a question from CNN Business about how it might enforce (执行) the- policy for those who don’t use then real names.
The app also said it would introduce new content-ranging from science experiments and museums to art gallery exhibition and natural scenery-by ByteDance to get ahead of potential regulation analysts at Citigroup Global Markets wrote in a Monday research note. They suggested that the decision could push other internet platforms with short video content to look at implementing similar restrictions.
“Self-assessment and voluntary implementation (履行) of minor-protection measures by more platforms could help suggest platforms are being more socially responsible and potentially reassure parents and regulators,” they added.
Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to media research firm iiMedia Research.
Chinese regulators have already started pressuring tech companies to curb the amount of time minors spend on their services.
In June, China revised its “Minor Protection law,” which requires internet service providers including social media apps-to “set-up corresponding functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.”
Douyin’s rival Kuaishou-which is backed by Tencent-introduced a similar setting for minors in2019.
China’s pressure on tech companies is part of sweeping new regulations on businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy crackdown-on-private tutoring to rules for online gaming.
Last month, the country barred online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends.
4. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Tech companies are limiting entertainment.
B. Tech companies are facing a lot of pressure.
C. Douyin is limiting kids to 40 minutes a day.
D. Young generation is banned from short videos.
5. What does the underlined word “curb” probably mean
A. save B. control
C. increase D. minimize
6. Why does Douyin introduce new content to its platform
A. Because it is required by Chinese regulators.
B. Because it fits the current trend in regulations.
C. Because it can appeal to more young people.
D. Because it can help grab more market share.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Children under 18 will not be able to use Douyin on weekdays.
B. The “teenage mode” aims to help students focus 0on studies.
C. Kuaishou is the first company to introduce setting for minors.
D. There still exists some problem about “teenage mode”.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了抖音引进了“青少年模式”,限制青少年使用时间。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Chinese version of TikTok-Douyin is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time children under the age of 14 spend on the short-form video app to 40 minutes a day.(中国版的tiktok -抖音正在引入一种“青少年模式”,将14岁以下儿童每天花在这款短视频应用上的时间限制在40分钟。)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍了抖音引进了“青少年模式”,限制青少年使用时间。所以“Douyin is limiting kids to 40 minutes a day.(抖音限制孩子每天40分钟)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前半句“Chinese regulators have already started pressuring tech companies(中国监管机构已经开始向科技公司施压,)”并结合上文可知,要求其限制未成年人使用其服务的时间。所以curb”为“控制”之意。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The app also said it would introduce new content-ranging from science experiments and museums to art gallery exhibition and natural scenery-by ByteDance to get ahead of potential regulation analysts at Citigroup Global Markets wrote in a Monday research note. They suggested that the decision could push other internet platforms with short video content to look at implementing similar restrictions.(花旗集团全球市场分析师在周一的一份研究报告中写道,这款应用还表示,它将通过字节跳动引入新的内容,包括科学实验、博物馆、美术馆展览和自然风景等,以赶在潜在监管部门之前推出。他们表示,这一决定可能会促使其他拥有短视频内容的互联网平台考虑实施类似的限制。)”和第六段““Self-assessment and voluntary implementation (履行) of minor-protection measures by more platforms could help suggest platforms are being more socially responsible and potentially reassure parents and regulators,” they added.(他们补充说:“更多平台的自我评估和自愿实施小额保护措施,可能有助于表明平台正在变得更有社会责任感,并可能让家长和监管机构放心。”)”可知,抖音要在其平台上引入新内容是因为它符合当前监管的趋势。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“ByteDance did not immediately respond to a question from CNN Business about how it might enforce (执行) the- policy for those who don’t use then real names.(字节跳动没有立即回应来自CNN商业频道的一个问题,即它将如何对那些没有使用真实姓名的人执行这项政策。)”可推断,关于“青少年模式”仍然存在一些问题。故选D。
C
Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for lazy, you might even be angry. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of resentment (不满). But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Franks de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(代币) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but connected rooms, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.
In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either threw her own token at the researcher or out of the room, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to inspire resentment in a female capuchin.
The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, tike humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous anger, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolves independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.
8. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by____.
A. making a comparison B. making an assumption
C. giving a conclusion D. explaining a phenomenon
9. The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph 1) implies that____.
A. anger towards unfairness is also monkey’s nature
B. monkeys arc also angered by lazy rivals
C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other
D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions
10. Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys____.
A. prefer grapes to cucumbers
B. will not be co-operative if feeling cheated
C. can be taught to exchange things
D. are unhappy when separated from others
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.
B. Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.
C. Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.
D. How a sense of fairness in humans evolves is uncertain.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由佐治亚州亚特兰大埃里莫大学的Sarah Brosnan和Frans de Waal对猴子个性进行的一项研究。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。从文章第一段“Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for lazy, you might even be angry. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of resentment (不满).(人人都喜欢大幅度加薪。然而,如果你得知某个同事得到了更大的加薪,你自己的快乐可能就会消失。事实上,如果他有懒惰的名声,你甚至可能会生气。这种行为被认为是“人之常情”,其潜在的假设是其他动物不可能具有这种高度发达的不满意识。)” 可知,在第一段中,作者通过对比介绍了其主题。故选A。
【9题详解】
句意猜测题。根据上文Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of resentment (不满). (这种行为被认为是“人之常情”,其潜在的假设是其他动物不可能具有这种高度发达的不满意识。)”和“as well(也)”可知,Sarah Brosnan和Frans de Waal进行的研究则表明猴子同样会“因为不公平而不愤怒”,故划线部分的意思是“怨恨不公平也是猴子的天性”,故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated.(有当每只动物都觉得自己没有被欺骗时,这种合作才可能是稳定的。)”可知Brosnan和de Waal博士最终在他们的研究中发现猴子如果感到被欺骗,就不会合作,故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, whether such a sense of fairness evolves independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.(然而,这种公平感是在卷尾猴和人类身上独立进化出来的,还是起源于3500万年前的共同祖先,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。)”可推断,人类的公平感如何进化是不确定的。故选D。

If you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen. You’ve probably even experienced it: Football players shaking hands after four quarter of knocking each other around. Tennis players jumping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. It’s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handing both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.
What Is Sportsmanship
Some people define good sportsmanship as the “golden rule” of sports-in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you’d like to be treated yourself. You show good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.
But sportsmanship isn’t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders, fans, and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.
Win or Lose, Sportsmanship Helps You Get Through
Everyone feels great when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport when you’ve won a game as when you’ve lost one. Good sportsmanship takes maturity and courage-when you work really hard at a sport, it’s not easy to admit you made a bad play or that someone has more skills than you. In competition-as in life-you may not always win but you can learn something from losing, too.
When you do lose-and it will happen-don’t take it out on your opponent, blame the officials, or blame your team. When it comes to losing, good sportsmanship means congratulating-the winners promptly and willingly, Also, it means accepting the game’s outcome without complaint and without excuses, even if you sometimes might suspect the referees made some questionable calls.
When you win, the trick is to be a gracious and generous winner. Good sportsmanship means acknowledging victories without humiliating opponents, being quietly proud of success, and letting victories speak for themselves. Even if you win by a landslide, good sportsmanship means still finding ways to compliment your opponents.
Practicing Good Sportsmanship
Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, work hard, and realize that on a team, everyone deserves a chance to play.
Talk politely and act courteously toward everyone before, during, and after games and events.
Stay cool. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn’t mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you’ve practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game.
Avoid settling disputes with violence. If you’re in a difficult situation or someone’s threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official.
Cheer your teammates on with positive statements-and avoid trash-talking (废话) the other team.
Acknowledge good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them.
Whether you win or lose, congratulate your opponents on a game well played.
Fair and Fun
Good sportsmanship means not having a “____” attitude. Most athletes who don’t have a “____” attitude are more likely to talk about how much they love their sport and how much personal satisfaction and enjoyment they get from participation alone.
So although it’s great to be a champion, it’s even better to have enjoyed the process of trying to reach the top. It’s best to play fair while having fun.

社会生的不断变化,催生了从多的流行词汇,其中有些,如因特网、大款和博客等,由于广大泛使用,长期存在,遂逐步转变为普通、口语词汇;有些则昙花一现,不久即消失得无影无踪。请结合你自己对语言的观察,写一篇短文,说说语言与社会生活的关系。
【答案】 Society is ever advancing, and so is language. Whenever something new appears, people will have to give it a name. So, changes of social life always give birth to new vocabulary. In the past ten or twenty years alone, many new words have been coined to express the new phenomena in economy, technology, etc. Like Internet, moneybag and blog, to name only a few.
As we have noticed, some new vocabulary has come into common use, since they are very close to everyday life and widely spread. These new words will perhaps stay on. However, some of them will fall into disuse soon enough, because they're known to a limited group of people.
So, social life or changes is the basis where language develops and language must always serve as a mirror to social life. And it is this function that gives life to language.

It was the middle of the day on a bright sunny Saturday, and Jay and his friends Mike and Tony were riding their dirt bikes on one of their favorite, off-road trails. The trail twisted and turned through some incredible plants. Occasionally Jay and his friends would stop to climb a tree and find a comfortable branch to sit on so they could take a break from riding in the heat. On this particular day, Jay and the boys were resting in one of their preferred trees when Jay spotted
something shiny on the ground. “What do you think that could be he asked Mike and Tony as he pointed out the object reflecting the sun.
They all hopped down from their individual branches and went to take a closer look. What they found was incomprehensible to them. It was a wallet holding five hundred dollars. Mike immediately exclaimed, “Awesome! We can split up the money, and we will each be much closer to being able to buy the new bikes we want. Tony also felt excited. “We can’t keep the money.” said Jay. “It isn’t ours. Aren’t we more mature than to play finders keepers like we did when we were kids ”
“Stop being such an advocate for honesty,” sighed Mike and Tony. “Whoever lost the money wasn’t very responsible and should learn a lesson about walking around with that much cash on them anyhow,” added Tony. “Let’s all go home and think about this,” Jay suggested and the other two agreed. Jay kept the money, and they all rode their bikes home. They decided to meet up after dinner at the head of the off-road trail. Mike and Tony lived on the same street so they rode home most of the way together. They were able to talk a bit more without Jay’s input. It was not long before they came to see Jay’s point and they could imagine how upset they would be if they accidentally lost something important to them.
Jay, Mike and Tony met back up after dinner. Mike and Tony admitted that Jay was right. They all rode their bikes to the police station together to tum in the wallet and its holdings. The police officer who to the report about the found wallet told them that he was impressed with their honesty. He took Jay’s phone number just in case. Jay left knowing he did the right thing. Mike and Tony even felt better about the situation.
