问题 I worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. l asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.Which of the following is NOT true?(  )A. The writer accepted a reward of $20. B. The writer regretted(后悔)that she had returned the wallet. C. The writer didn't return the wallet until the owner came back. D. The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet.

选项 A. The writer accepted a reward of $20.
B. The writer regretted(后悔)that she had returned the wallet.
C. The writer didn't return the wallet until the owner came back.
D. The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet.

答案 B

解析 根据第一段最后两句“He took out a twenty-dollar bill and…he said and then turned and walked away”可知选项A与文章内容相符;选项B的意思是“作者直到失主返回来才将钱包还给他”,这显然与文章内容相符;根据第二段最后一句“The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy”可知,选项D也与文章内容相符。
