【解析】一个神秘的圣诞老人为囊中羞涩的人们提早送出了圣诞礼品，他为商场里付不起账的人买单，让人惊讶又感动。
⑴句意：在偶然听到一个购物者说她可能没办法支付掉未付账单时，帕拉第先生走进分期付款商品保留部，他想知道自己是否能帮上一点忙。shopper是单数，故排除A和D；the other指两个中的另一个；another指没有范围的另一个。根据上下文故选C。
⑵引导宾语从句，并且作从句中do 的宾语，因此选A。
⑶句意：他为当时在商场的6个购物者买了单，也支付了每笔超过200美元的账单的一半款项。while，when和if都是连词，后跟从句。而本空后的结构是动名词短语，因此用as well as接短语。故选B。
⑷句意：商场的工作人员回忆这位“节日英雄”为那些在收银台准备取消账单的购物者们刷卡买单的情形，每次刷完卡他就会说一句“圣诞快乐”。find发现；remember记得；know知道；recall回忆。这是一个新闻报道，所以用recall最佳，故选D。
⑸根据第一段Santa（圣诞老人），Christmas gift（圣诞礼物）可知说“圣诞快乐”，故选D。
⑹句意：一开始他们还不知道发生了什么事”，沃尔玛的运营经理德布·戴维斯说道。故选B。
⑺句意：这个女生感动得泣不成声，不得不坐在长凳上缓缓情绪。surprise惊讶；excited兴奋的；moved感动的；amazed惊异的。根据逻辑推断可知选C。
⑻句意：在这个长达好几个小时的狂欢购物中，帕拉第先生付款时用了3张信用卡，2台收银机，同时也通过电话进行支付，工作人员表示这是他们见到过的最慷慨的行为了。根据逻辑推理可知选A。
⑼句意：“我并不想哗众取宠，我只是想通过这种方式来鼓励大家多做善事”，他如是说。inspire鼓舞；激励；interest使感兴趣；improve提高；surprise使惊奇。根据下文可知通过这种方式鼓励人们帮助别人。故选A。
⑽句意：“我希望大家把它当做一个例子来举一反三。做好事不一定用钱，也可以是时间，或者一些好的东西。”value价值；attitude态度；money钱；life生命。
