试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了作者请一个衣衫褴褛的老妇人吃午饭的故事。当老妇人吃完午饭，要求拥抱作者，作者因为某种偏见有些许的不情愿。后来意识到应该给那位老妇一个实在的拥抱，老妇人答应了作者的请求，作者给了她一个深情的拥抱，老妇人的微笑伴随作者终生。

1.C考查名词及语境理解。money：钱；clothes：衣服；teeth：牙齿；hair：头发。根据语境可知，这里指的是老妇人的大部分牙齿不见了。故应选C。

2.A考查名词及语境理解。change：零钱；lunch：午饭；hug：拥抱；meal：饭菜。根据下文“I invited her to lunch instead ”的描述可知，这里指的是老妇人向作者要零钱。故选A。

3.B考查连词及语境理解。and：和，表示并列；but：但是，表示转折；before：在……之前；until：直到……时候。根据上下文的描述可知，虽然服务员不愿意为作者他们服务，但是又不得不这样做。这里语义存在转折关系，故应选B。

4.C考查形容词及语境理解。 afraid：害怕；sad：伤心；ready：准备；sorry：抱歉。根据语境可知，这里指的是作者他们准备离开的时候。故应选C。

5.D考查动词及语境理解。agree：同意；turn：归还；leave：离开；face：面对。根据前文的描述可知，这里指的是对于老妇人提出拥抱的请求，作者不得不面对自己以及所有对老妇人的偏见。故应选D。

6.C考查形容词及语境理解。right：正确的；good：好的；wrong：错误的；well：好地、健康的。根据下文的描述可知，这里指的是老妇人并没有错，只是作者不愿意给她一个拥抱。故选C。

7.D考查动词短语及语境理解。sit down：坐下；fall down：摔倒；turn off：关闭；go off：离开。根据语境可知，这里指的是老妇人感谢作者的午饭然后离开。故应选D。

8.B考查动词及语境理解。 hoped：希望；failed：失败、没有做到；decided：决定；succeeded：成功。根据语境可知，这里指的是作者意识到没有给予老妇人无价的东西——爱。故应选B。

9.D考查副词及语境理解。still：依然；even：甚至；yet：还、尚未；ever：曾经。根据语境可知，这里指的是作者给予老妇人一个曾经给予别人的最好的拥抱。故应选D。

10.all：所有的、全部的； rest：剩余的；half：一半的；some：一些。根据语境可知，这里指的是作者得到的教训是：如果要给予，就应该毫无保留。故选A。
