Question

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳答案。

A young man woke up one morning under a bridge and checked his pocket. All he had left was less than ten dollars. He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two children came along. The old man asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week.

The young man looked at the children---they were so weak that they could hardly stand. With the last bit of kindness he had he gave them all the food. The old man and children thanked the young man and then gave him a dirty old coin. The young man said, “You need this coin more than I do--- just keep it.” The old man insisted(坚持) that the young man put it in his pocket---and finally he did.

The old man and children sat down to eat. And with no money, no job and no food, the young man went back under the bridge to lie down. As he was about to fall asleep he saw an old newspaper on the ground. He picked it up and saw an ad inviting people with old coins to come to a store. He decided to go there with the dirty old coin the man gave him.

When he arrived at the store, he gave the keeper the dirty old coin. The keeper cried loudly. It was part of a Spanish treasure ship that had never been found. This same old coin was worth 67,000 dollars. The young man was pleased. He immediately sold the coin for money and then looked for the old man and little children to thank them and share the money. By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone.

试题分析：一个年轻人在桥下住了一夜，用仅有的不到十美元买了食物。此时一个老人和两个孩子走了过来。老人向青年人要食物，因为他们几乎一个星期没有吃东西了。年轻人很仁慈，把所有的食物送给了他们。老人送给青年人一枚古币当作酬谢。后来，这枚古币卖了67000美元。青年人马上寻找老人与孩子们，感谢他们并想与他们分享这笔钱。但他们却已经不见了。通过一枚脏的古钱币，看到了青年人与那位老人的善良，也看到了人间的真爱。
