A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket（彩票）at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. The person he robbed picked up the ticket, then claimed (认领) the ￡25,000 prize, managed to find him, and handed over the cash.
The robbery happened when professor Vinicio was changing a tire of his car on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped “to help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire（里拉）prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience （良心）. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money, though having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him — a lottery win. Please meet me”.
Professor Vinicio received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the money. But there was only one voice he recognized — and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” he asked. The professor replied: “I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.
1. The underlined sentence in Para. 2 may mean all of the following EXCEPT that ______.
A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results
B. he was hesitating about keeping the money for some time
C. he thought for a moment of getting even with the robber
D. he was considering whether honesty is more important
2. Hundreds of people phoned professor Vinicio because they _______.
A. wanted to make fun of him B. hoped to get the large sum of money
C. knew who the robber was D. happened to lost their lottery tickets
3. The word “spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by “_______”.
A. accepting willingly B. claiming seriously
C. refusing to accept D. giving in with hope
4. If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be “_______”.
A. A Thief’s Lucky Day B. A Popular Maths Professor
