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 couldnt 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 didnt 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. 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.40.The young man was travelling across the country in 1971 to_.A. look for a good restaurant B. improve his lifeC. show his new car to othersD. hand out dollars41.

Two?” The students moved restlessly（不安地） in their seats.“One, then. Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained（仍然是） silent. The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” she said.“I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years, there are still many things about the subject you dont know. Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class, Ive given you questions that professional(职业的)engineers face in the world outside the classroom. You cant expect to be an expert（专家） on the day you graduate. You have to learn as you go.”Then, smiling, she added: “You will all pass this course（课程）, but remember that your education has just begun.”The students would always remember the lesson they learned that day.48.
