Ⅱ.阅读理解

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of (用完) money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.

After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, “Sir, you must have dropped this，” the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.

On__the__way__out__of__town,__he__began__to__understand__what__the__owner__did. “Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass (使尴尬) me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”

Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars.

1．B　此处表示“英语角正好在宿舍楼前”。just正好，恰好。

2．C　由下句“I turned…”可知，作者应该是背对着男孩，且本段第一句提到男孩说的话，因此是男孩的声音吸引了作者。

3．A　本段男孩自我介绍说自己叫Tom，故此处指作者介绍自己，应是“‘我’正要告诉他‘我’的名字”。
