In 1992, when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou, he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling”, written by a Chinese student studying in the United States.
The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the United States in 1911.
Gardner, who later became a professor of physics at the University of California,had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the US were set up.But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.
According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering (叨念) “Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of his life.
After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about.Her efforts ended in vain as she had few clues(线索) about the exact spot of the town.But a Chinese student lodging(寄宿) at the Gardners' recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr.Gardner.The student wrote an article about Gardners' story and sent it to the People's Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.
“After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs.Gardner through the departments concerned and invited her to visit Guling,” Xi told the media.Thanks to Xi's arrangement, Mrs.Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992.She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom were over 90 years old at that time.
It was a happy occasion for Mrs.Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.
“She said that she would value this bond(纽带) of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”
“I believe there are many such touching stories between our two peoples,” said Xi.

When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.
The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling
quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculations, added up the things again. To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.
“ I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more, ”said Abe, disturbed.
It was an unimportant thing, and many clerks would have forgotten it, but Abe was too conscientious for that.
“ The money must be paid back, ”he decided.
At night, he closed the store, and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.
Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young clerk weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.
The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales. It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale of the previous night, and so, of course, given his customers short weight. I am afraid that there are many country merchants who would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the defrauded customer. I think my young readers will begin to see that the name so often given, in later times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe, ”was well deserved. A man who begins by strict honesty in his youth is not likely to change as he grows older, and mercantile honesty is some guarantee of political honesty.
1.We know from the text that Abe .
A. charged less for the woman
B. tricked the woman on purpose
C. was careful and responsible
D. was confident of his calculations
2.From the underlined sentence, we can see that the author .
A. speak highly of Abraham Lincoln
B. learns how to succeed in the political field
C. comes to understand the importance of honesty
D. hopes to give readers some personal suggestions
3.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A. Better late than never.
B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. A good name is better than gold.
D. Where there is a will there is a way.
4.The author develops his idea mainly .
A. by reasoning B. by making comparisons
C. by giving examples D. by recalling what he had seen
