One afternoon, she helped them clean the attic (阁楼). In an old wooden box, she found a simple, handmade clay cup. It looked a little rough and wasn’t beautiful at all. “This old thing is probably worthless,” she thought, almost throwing it away. Her grandfather saw it and his eyes lit up. “Ah, my treasure,” he said with a warm smile. He told Emma the story behind the cup. His father, Emma’s great-grandfather, had made it with his own hands when he was a young man. The family was poor then, and it was the only cup they had for a long time. It had been used for many happy family meals. Emma was confused. “But it doesn’t look special. How much is it worth?” she asked. Grandfather gently held the cup. “Its price might be zero in a shop,” he explained. “But its value to our family is great. It holds our family’s memories and love. That is something money cannot buy. ” Emma finally understood. Price is the number on a tag, but value is the real importance something has in your heart. A new, shiny cup from a store has a price, but this old clay cup has a story. It represented hard work, family history, and love. That was its true value. She carefully placed the cup back in the box, now seeing it not as an old object, but as a priceless piece of her family’s story. Task 1: 1．Where did Emma find the clay cup? 2．Why did Emma think the cup was “worthless” at first? 3．Who made the clay cup and when? 4．What is the difference between “price” and “value”? Task 2: 5．Imagine that several years later, Emma becomes a mother. She takes out the clay cup again to show her own child. Complete the paragraph below to describe this scene and what she might say.

One afternoon, she helped them clean the attic (阁楼). In an old wooden box, she found a simple, handmade clay cup. It looked a little rough and wasn’t beautiful at all. “This old thing is probably worthless,” she thought, almost throwing it away. Her grandfather saw it and his eyes lit up. “Ah, my treasure,” he said with a warm smile. He told Emma the story behind the cup. His father, Emma’s great-grandfather, had made it with his own hands when he was a young man. The family was poor then, and it was the only cup they had for a long time. It had been used for many happy family meals. Emma was confused. “But it doesn’t look special. How much is it worth?” she asked. Grandfather gently held the cup. “Its price might be zero in a shop,” he explained. “But its value to our family is great. It holds our family’s memories and love. That is something money cannot buy. ” Emma finally understood. Price is the number on a tag, but value is the real importance something has in your heart. A new, shiny cup from a store has a price, but this old clay cup has a story. It represented hard work, family history, and love. That was its true value. She carefully placed the cup back in the box, now seeing it not as an old object, but as a priceless piece of her family’s story.
