Make inferences
Sometimes things are not said directly. However, you can make logical guesses on the basis of what the speakers say. To draw a conclusion, you need to understand the given information and use your background knowledge. Also, while listening, don't ignore the speakers's tone and intonation- these
can be important clues, too.

1 What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is
2 Did Chen return the money because she didn't
need it
3 Is it common for people to do what Chen did
Chen Liyan is generous and honest because she returned a large sum money to the owner.
No. She returned the money because it was the right thing to do. Evidence for this is that she refused to accept the reward money because she felt that it had not been earned.
It depends on the culture. In some countries it is quite common to return money that has been found. In other countries, people believe "Finders are keepers!"
4 How did Wang Zheng feel about the return of his
money
5 Why did Ma Dongbao tell Wang about Chen’s family
6 How did the news reporter feel about Chen’s
actions
He must have been very happy and relieved to have gotten his money back. We know this because he thanked Chen repeatedly and even offered her a reward.
He must have had great sympathy for Chen and her daughter and wanted to help them. We know this because he arranged help for them.
The news reporter felt that it showed that money wasn’t
the most important thing in life. We know this because the reporter told us that this is what Chen believes, and then said, “that’s a great attitude to take.”
Money is a good servant and a bad master.
— Francis Bacon
What does he mean
Do you agree
The saying means that money is quite useful as a help to us to get what we need. However, if we let money rule our lives it will make us miserable（悲惨）.
