二、阅读理解
A very wealthy man was standing thoughtfully on a bridge. He was very rich；he could feel none of happiness but sadness and emptiness in his heart. He wanted to kill himself by jumping into the fast - flowing water.
When he was about to do it, an old beggar moved toward him. “Sir, please give me some money. I am hungry. I will pray for your health and long life.”
Hearing this, he took out his wallet from his pocket and gave all the money inside to the beggar. “Take all of this,” he said.
“All of this?” the beggar repeated. He could not believe his good luck.
“Yes, take it all. I am going to a place where I won't need it any more,” said the man. He looked back at the river below.
The beggar became doubtful of the man's attitude. Looking at the money, and holding it for a while, he hurriedly returned it and said, “No, thank you. I won't take it! I may be a beggar but I'm not a coward(懦夫)! Take that money with you to the river, Sir!”
Hearing his reply, the wealthy man was shocked. The satisfaction and happiness of him giving his money to the beggar disappeared immediately. He was not even able to make the beggar receive his sincere soon - to - be - useless money.
At that moment, he suddenly realized the feeling that he felt just now, that good feeling and satisfaction from giving others happiness, had indeed in turn become his own true happiness. By this he was encouraged, and had found what would make his life worth living.
