Question

One day in Overtown, Florida, 3.7 million dollars fell from the sky! It happened when a truck turned over.There was money everywhere! One man said, “The streets were like gold.” Some people took off their shirts and filled them with money.

Police officers went from door to door in the neighborhood. They asked people to return the money. After six hours, the total returned: zero.

No one in Overtown was surprised. Many people in this town are poor. They need the money to buy food for their children. They think that God sent the money to them.

The police say this is a serious crime. “People took thousands of dollars. It’s not their money, and they have to return it.” The police also say it’s dangerous to keep the money because everyone knows the story from the news. People have money in their pockets and their backyards, and other people will try to steal it.

試題分析：一天，在佛羅里達州上城， 3700000美元從天上掉下來！當它發生時，一輛卡車翻了，錢到處都是！有人說，“街上像黃金。”有人脫下自己的襯衫裝滿了錢。警察挨家挨戶地讓人們把錢交出來。六小時后，總返回：零。在上城沒有人感到驚訝。在這個鎮上有許多窮人。他們需要錢給孩子們買食物。他們認為上帝給他們錢。警方說，這是一個嚴重的犯罪。“人們拿走了幾千美元。這不是他們的錢，他們要送回”。到目前為止，只有一個人送回來一些錢。他是一個消防員。他找到了300000美元在一個包里，把它交給了警察。在上城人仍然有剩余的錢。
