4. Chen took out a large loan to cure her daughter.
□ T □ F
5. Wang set up a fundraising website for Chen’s daughter after Chen told him about her situation.□ T □ F
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.
最近，一位名叫Chen Liyan的清洁工因其慷慨和诚实的行为登上了新闻头条。上周二凌晨，45岁的陈在太原火车站扫地时，在椅子附近发现了一个小塑料袋，并在里面发现了10万元人民币。
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 I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly."
陈很震惊，但她决心把钱还给失主。昨天接受当地报纸采访时，陈说：“如果我把钱留着，我会感觉很糟糕。毕竟，房主可能非常需要这笔钱。”
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 tum the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.
在工作中，陈仔细地观察着任何可能是主人的人。她等了两个多小时，但运气不好，她去了最近的警察局把钱放了进去。在那里，钱终于还给了主人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.
王再三感谢陈，并对给她带来的不便表示歉意，甚至悬赏5000元。然而，令他惊讶的是，陈拒绝了，认为接受她没有赚到的钱是不对的。但更令人惊讶的是，陈的女儿、16岁的刘霞目前病重。
Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also takeout 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.
陈已经把最后一笔积蓄花在了正在进行的治疗上，还借了一大笔钱。幸运的是，在派出所工作的马东宝介入了。和陈家住在同一栋公寓楼里，马深知陈的难处。
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.Now, in other news, one city in … [Fade out.]

2.Why did Mark Twain design such a bet in the play
To criticize money worship (拜金主义) by showing ironic humor.
They saw many honest faces go by that were not intelligent enough; many that were intelligent but not honest enough; many that were both, but the possessors were not poor enough, or if poor enough, were not strangers.
There was always a defect(缺陷)，until I came along; but they agreed that I filled the bill(符合要求)all around; so they elected me unanimously（全体一致地）and there I was now waiting to know why I was called in....
--Adapted from The Million Pound Bank Note by Mark Twain
Despite the fact that Henry was hungry, penniless jobless and helpless, the two wealthy brothers reacted rudely, showing no mercy(毫无怜悯之心) What they cared about was the success of the bet . In a world of “Money talks”, Henry's misfortune was nothing but a game for the rich(只是有钱人的游戏).
