Michael was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and diligent. Recently，he had
transferred（转学）to another school，so he had no friends in the new school yet. On Monday
morning，he was nearly late for school. The night before，his family attended his cousin’s
wedding and reached home late，which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school，Michael could not pay attention to anything but waited for the bell to ring so
that he could buy something to eat. The moment the bell rang，he quickly opened his
schoolbag to find his money，but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry
in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books，hoping to find some
money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do，he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the
canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there，among whom was Steven. He was one of the
richest kids in his class，but he was a very arrogant（傲慢的）boy who thought everyone else
was a loser. But as Michael was new，he didn’t know much about Steven.
When he went towards Steven and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch，Steven
laughed a lot and said，“I knew you were a loser，maybe a beggar?” Steven laughed out so loud
that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Steven，and
slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench，he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it
up and recognised it was Steven’s，as she remembered Steven showing it to his friends and
telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for
a kid.

At first，Michael wanted to keep it a secret and punish Steven.

“Why are you giving back?” murmured Steven.

答案： 【参考范文】
At first,Michael wanted to keep it a secret and
punish Steven. But it was not easy. He felt the heat in
his body rising, and his cheeks blushing. Throwing a
glance at Steven, who was chatting happily, cocking his
head high, Michael suddenly felt a bit sorry for the
embarrassment he was going to face. Just at the moment
Michael gasped and cried out in alarm,“Oh hell, where
is my wallet?” Some gossips began. Michael heard words
of gloat. Overwhelmed by guilt, Michael quickly picked
up the wallet and strode to Steven,“I found it over
there, and I think it is yours.” Seeing the dumbfounded
face of Steven, he added,“I thought of sneaking it, of
course.” Recalling what he had done to Michael, Steven
suddenly hesitated to take the wallet.
“Why are you giving back?” murmured Steven. He
dodged Michael’s shining eyes, somehow even not daring
to look into them. What replied him was a sigh,
“Because it belongs to you.” After confession, the air
seemed still and it became weird that no one uttered a
single word. Just at this moment, Michael’s stomach
seemed to be the first to break the awkwardness by
growling loud. To his astonishment, the arrogant boy,
Steven, reached out his hand, stammering,“W... What
about having lunch together?” Before Michael could say
anything, Steven quickly added,“Of course, my treat.”
It was on that very day that Michael made his first friend
in the new school, and he truly reckoned the value of
sincerity and honesty in a relationship.
