It's nice for someone to return the money to the owner. It's also what people need to do by law（法律）.
Lately, a university student left her smartphone in a restaurant. A man later picked it up. When the phone owner found the man, he asked for 2,000 yuan from the owner. He even said that he would delete（删去）all the information on the phone if the owner wouldn't give him the money. The owner couldn't provide the money, and she didn't have to. The police suggested that the owner should file a lawsuit (起诉) against the man.
According to the Civil Code (《民法典》), when you find something by accident, you must not keep it as your own. You can either tell the owner to come and get it if you can reach him or her. Or you can hand it over to the police.
In one situation the finder can get money from the owner. By law, the owner should give back any money the finder had to spend for safekeeping. The owner should also cover the cost of the finder's traveling when he or she returns the lost thing. Other than this, the finder shouldn't ask for more money, such as a reward（奖励）for giving it back. If the finder keeps the lost things on purpose （有目的）, he or she may face up to two years in prison（监狱）if the lost things are very valuable.
Confucius was a great Chinese educator. His thought is very important in traditional Chinese culture. Here are some interesting facts about him.
How tall was Confucius?
One ancient Chinese text recorded that Confucius' height was nine feet and six inches. But how tall is nine feet and six inches? At that time, one foot was equal (平 均 ) to about 23 centimeters. So, Confucius was no less than 220 centimeters tall according to the text.

Is the carrot knife good or bad?
The carrot knife is a fun, plastic toy that can be folded, designed in the shape of a carrot. It has quickly caught the attention of young people nationwide in less than a month..Many online store owners say they have sold about 100,000 of the toys a month.
The toy is the creation of a college student interested in 3D printing. At first, it was just one of his many works..但是它很快在网上很流行 。The children were fascinated (着迷) by its blade (刀刃) swinging in and out.
However, experts are worried that the carrot knife could lead to violent ( 暴 力 ) behavior. Although it looks cute and has a soft plastic blade, the toy is a copy of a flick-knife (弹簧刀), which falls under controlled knives in China. This kind of knife can be secretly hidden on a person and become a tool to hurt others during a fight.
The carrot knife is dangerous because of its special style of play. Many videos have clearly shown the scenes of stabbing（刺）and playful throat cutting with this toy. Some producers（生产商）
of the toy even use phrases such as "stab whomever you dislike" or "click, click, watch me stab you"to increase（增加）their sales.
The problem is not the direct harm（伤害）caused by the carrot knife, but the connection（连接） it may create with really violence in the minds of people under the age of 18. So experts are strongly encouraging parents not to buy these toys, and students should not buy them themselves.
This thing reminds people that while it's important to encourage children to enjoy themselves, it's also important to notice the harmful messages toys may send.
