Question

1．My sister Electra was leaving a s mall shop．She was pushing a shopping cart（手推車） and trying to put the change（找零）into her pocket at the same time．While she was doing this，she dropped a quarter （25分硬幣）．Carefully she bent over to pick it up．To her surprise，an old man walked towards her．With a quarter in his hand，he said，"Here's the quarter you dropped，young lady．"
    My sister replied，"Oh，I've found mine．That must be yours．"
"No，I think it's yours．I found it on the ground back there，"he said．"It's not mine．Why don't you keep it？I have plenty at home．I collect quarters．"
"Really？"my sister asked．"What are you going to do with them？"
"I have over 9，000 quarters．I have always dreamed of driving across the country through the northern states（州）and then down to California and back to New York，but now I'm too old to do that，so instead I think I'll buy a TV，"he explained to her．
"Oh，"my sister said．"Don't give up your dream of traveling．I know someone who took the train and had a lovely trip．Why don't you try that？"
"Why did I never think of that？"the old man said，sounding hopeful of this new idea．"I'll think about that and look into it．Thank you for telling me．"
