The tipper was Bob Erb of British Columbia,who won Canada's﹩25million Lotto Max jackpot ( 头奖) in November 2012and has been giving money to people in need.He's donated to food banks.senior groups,and local fire departments,and helped 20people in Terrace,his hometown,get necessary dental care they couldn't afford.
While making burgers that first afternoon,Luther told Erb that his 25-year-old daughter had just been diagnosed with cancer in Vancouver,two provinces and about 1,000miles away. "It struck a chord.I lost a son four years ago and know the worries a parent has,"says Erb."I decided on the way home I'd Leave him some money so he could go and see his daughter."
A few days later,Erb was on his way back to British Columbia after delivering his father's ashes to a family cemetery plot in Saskatchewan.He stopped at the diner for another burger.which Luther offered to buy him because Erb had tipped him well just a few days before.Erb said"no way"and,while the burger was grilling.he asked the diner owner for a pen.then scrawled out the check and left it on the counter."Luther looked at the check and couldn't say anything.He just held his arms out."Erb says.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
