解析：

(1)	从下文看，歹徒看不起擦鞋的小孩，不住地“嘲讽”和“教诲”他：人要想成大事，必须具有想像力和勇气，像他这样一个擦皮鞋的小孩成不了大器。
(2)	歹徒具有警觉性，不时地四处环顾。
(3)	修鞋的小孩在不停地“纳闷”曾在哪儿见过歹徒的这张脸。
(4)	此处应是警方通缉令上歹徒的“照片”。
(5)	wanted此处当“被通缉”讲，指歹徒被警方通缉。
(6)	get anywhere用于否定句或疑问句，当“取得成就”讲；肯定句用get somewhere。
(7)	由后面“The sooner I finished the better．”可得出答案。
(8)	make money意为“挣钱”，注意此处歹徒不可能说自己“偷钱”或“抢钱”，故不选B项。
(9)	小孩不知道警方的“悬赏”到底是多少。
(10)	此处指警方“提供”悬赏，捉拿歹徒。
(11)	小孩在动脑筋，用鞋油桶“打”歹徒是不行的。
(12)	表示歹徒“体型、块头”大。
(13)	前面提到歹徒强调人要有想像力。
(14)	警官是在执行公务，所以不可能是“闲逛”，故不选A项；警官还不知道歹徒在擦鞋的小孩这里，所以不选D项。
(15)	小孩在“呼救”。
(16)	shut up意为“闭嘴”，mind you意为“当心、注意”，用来提醒别人，此处指歹徒不让小孩声张。
(17)	小孩巧妙地把歹徒的鞋带系到了一起，使他在逃跑时被绊倒。
(18)	小孩“智斗”歹徒，应是“聪明的”。
(19)	正是歹徒的“嘲讽”和“教诲”使小孩有了这么一个好主意。
(20)	something big是口语用法，相当于something great，意为“大事”。小孩智擒歹徒，也算做了一件了不起的事情。
