Question

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of 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, “Son, 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 that fellow 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(使困窘) 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. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.

文章講述的是一個落魄的年輕人在吃飯早餐后謊稱錢包丟了，然后受到了店主委婉的幫助，最后在獲得大量財富后，開始大量幫助別人。被稱為神秘的圣誕老人。
1.根據(jù)上文He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said可知，店主撿起一張20元錢，認為是這個年輕人丟的（這張錢）
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)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(使困窘) me可知，作者意識到店主并沒有真正撿到錢，而是故意要幫助這個年輕人，為了避免讓他尷尬。
3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段他在KANSAS city的善舉可知，年輕人的經(jīng)歷讓他做出了現(xiàn)在的善舉。
