　　The old man rested in the sun.He thought of his violin which he loved dearly.He remembered buying it in 1931 from a stranger who needed money.He had paid him ＄ 2．50．

　　“Uncle Sanchez, a telegram(电报)for you!”a boy shouted.

　　Slowly the man opened it.First he smiled,then he laughed.

　　“What is it?”the boy asked.

　　“From the American who saw my violin at Christmas.”He remembered that the stranger had looked inside the violin as if he were looking for gold.”He says my violin was made by Stradivari.He will buy it for ＄100000.”

　　Sanchez was not the first person to learn that his violin was a treasure(财宝).He is just one of the most recent.Stories like this could be told in different parts of the world.Some of Stradivari’s violins have been carefully protected,others have been harmed by carelessness.

　　Almost nothing is known of Stradivari’s early life.But we do know he was born in a small village in Italy in 1644.As a boy of twelve,he began to learn violin making from Amati,Who was famous all over Europe for his fine violins.However, it was not until after Amati’s death in 1684 that Stradivari began making his own violins.He never made poor violins,but he made some that were much better than all the others.Luckily Stradivari’s great skill was noticed.Top prices were paid for his works from the time he began to sell them.

　　Today it is thought that Stradivari made violins that are better than any made ever since.Many of the world’s best violinists have chosen Stradivari’s violins.But few now can have a lot of money to collect them.some of the most beautiful are kept in museums.There,they can be seen by everyone or lent to famous artists for concerts.

　　I began working in journalism when I was eight．It was my mother’s idea．She wanted me to“make something”of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition．

　　With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue．The crowds were there．There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union．For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST．When it was supper time, I walked back home．

　　“How many did you sell, my boy?”my mother asked．

　　“None．”

　　“What did you do?”

　　“You just stood there?”

　　“My God, Russell!”

　　Uncle Allen put in,“Well, I’ve decided to take the Post．”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币)．It was the first nickle I earned．

　　Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman．I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home．

　　One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind．I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business．

　　“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing．”She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines．Whenever I said no, she would scold me．

　　My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember．My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people．But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love．

　　Eric liked to save pennies．Whenever his grandfather came to visit, he told Eric that he could have all the pennies in his pocket．Grandpa always had quite a few．

　　He filled a small box with pennies．Then he put some into an empty bottle．The bottle was soon full of pennies, so he started another one．

　　When his uncle came to visit, Uncle Alan said, “What are you going to do with all those pennies, Eric? A penny doesn’t buy much these days．Maybe you should start a collection．”

　　Uncle Alan took him to a store, and they bought two books．One book had little spaces for pennies made in different years．The other one told how much money a coin dealer would pay for rare pennies．Eric was amazed that a penny sometimes was worth much more than one cent．

　　“Let’s look through your pennies and see what you have here, ” Uncle Alan said．

　　They looked at the dates on the pennies and sorted them into piles by the years in which the pennies were made．Eric then chose the best one from each year to put into his collection book．He soon filled up most of the space with pennies．

　　One penny, however, was different．It was one Eric had found in his own backyard under a big bush．It had been there for a long, long time．He checked the date on the penny, and then looked into the book that told the value of pennies．

　　“Thirty dollars,” the book said! Not many pennies had been made that year, so each one was rare．

　　“Well, what are you going to do, Eric?” his uncle asked：“Are you going to sell it so that you can have a lot of money?”

　　Eric thought of all the things he could buy with that much money．Then he said, “No, I would rather keep the penny as my own．”

[　　]
A．	The value will increase because collectors will want it more when it is older．
B．	People will not want it in the future, so the value will go down．
C．	Eric will not take very good care of it and will probably lose it．
