What does Bacon's saying mean
Money is a good servant and a bad master.
----Francis Bacon
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.
金钱是善仆也是恶主。--培根
Discuss the good deed of returning lost money. Before you listen, discuss these questions in pairs.
1. What do people have to buy in order to lead a good life
2. What can people not buy with money
3. Is money the basis of a happy life Why or why not
In order to have a good life, people should be able to buy food, clothes, a place to live, and medical care.
The old saying that "You can't buy love" is certainly true. Money will not make people love you in a real way, nor will it build a happy family and strong friendships.
Money is not the basis of a happy life, as many people are able to find joy in simple things of life, such as nature, their work, and their families. On the other hand, it can be quite hard to live without money, so realistically speaking, having enough money to meet the daily needs can help a person pay more attetion to things that bring joy.

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."

While listening
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 I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly.”
