For a long time, Albert Worboys had a reputation as a miser in his village. Yesterday, when his will was announced people found they had completely wronged him.
Mr. Worboys was a farmer who had a very big farm. Apart from this, he also owned a building business, and made money on the stock market. Every year, hundreds of dollars streamed into his purse. Yet, he was known by other residents as the meanest man in the village. A fellow villager, who had known him for more than fifty years, said, "He never spent money on himself. He never bought a new suit and he even mended his shoes with sticky tape rather than buy a new pair." A woman villager added, "He got the greatest pleasure from doing his account books. He worked on them for hours. We thought he was planning to take his money with him."
Mr. Worboys died in October at the age of 85, and yesterday his will became known. He left $175,000 for building houses for his former employees, $3,000 for a new village bus shelter. The rest of his estate, more than $200,000, went to charity.
选项
A、Miserly and cold-hearted.
B、Penniless but warm-hearted.
C、Generous and kind-hearted.
D、Rich but indifferent.
答案

解析
根据文章内容“He left $175,000 for the building of houses for his former employees,$3,000 for a new village bus shelter.The rest of his estate,more than$200,000,went to charity”可知,Worboys先生虽然舍不得在自己身上花钱,但对于其他人、村里的公共设施建设及慈善事业非常慷慨,由此可知答案为C。
