2 Listen to the news report and match the people with the correct information. 翻译：2 听新闻报道，匹配正确的信息。

Recently a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act. 翻译：近日，一位名叫陈丽言的清洁工因其慷慨且诚实的举动登上了新闻头条。

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. 翻译：上周二清晨，45 岁的陈丽言正在太原火车站清扫地面，当她在一把椅子附近发现一个小塑料袋，并看到里面装着 10 万元时。

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.' 翻译：她震惊了。但她决心要把这笔钱归还给失主。在昨天接受当地报纸采访时，陈丽言说：“如果我把这笔钱留着，我会心里不安的。

After all, the owner might have needed it badly. ' 翻译：毕竟，失主可能非常需要这笔钱。”

While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. 翻译：工作期间，陈丽言仔细留意着可能是失主的每一个人。

She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. 翻译：她等了两个多小时，但运气不佳，于是她就去了最近的派出所把钱交了上去。

Then, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng, Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologized for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward. 翻译：最终，这笔钱回到了失主王正手中。王正再三感谢陈丽雅，并为给她带来的不便表示歉意，甚至提出给她 5000 元作为酬谢。

To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned, but what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia, is currently seriously ill. 翻译：然而，令他惊讶的是，陈丽雅拒绝了。她认为接受自己不该得的钱是不对的，但或许更令人惊讶的是，陈丽言 16 岁的女儿刘霞目前身患重病。

Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan. 翻译：陈丽言已经把自己最后的积蓄都花在了女儿正在进行的治疗上，还借了一大笔贷款。

Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. 翻译：幸运的是，在派出所工作的马东宝出手相助了。

Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen's difficulties. 翻译：马东宝和陈丽言一家住在同一栋公寓楼里，他很清楚陈丽言的难处。

When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills. 翻译：当王正得知陈丽言的情况后，他决定建立一个筹款网站来支付刘霞的住院费用。

Chen Liyan's example shows a different way of thinking about money. 翻译：陈丽言的事例展现了一种对待金钱的不同思维方式。

Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely isn't everything. 翻译：金钱固然重要，但对于像陈丽言这样的人来说，它绝对不是一切。

And that's a great attitude to take. Now in other news, one city ... 翻译：这是一种很棒的态度。现在来看其他新闻，一座城市⋯⋯

3 Listen again and put these events in the correct order. 翻译：3 再听一遍，把这些事件按正确的顺序排列。
