试题分析：作者一开始对于街头艺人的行乞不屑一顾，但是当作者看到这位街头艺人是在为地震灾区募捐的那一刻，改变了一个自负的“我”。
由下文可知，作者上街去买东西吃去了，所以应是离开办公室。
在路上，作者看见了一个街头艺人。lead “带领”； choose“选择”；fool“愚弄”，从上下文中均没有信息提示。
由下文可知作者口袋里装的应该是钱，但是他不会给这位街头艺人。
由语境可知作者不愿意把钱给这名街头艺人，他认为艺人只会拿这些钱去过毒瘾或酒瘾。only“只，仅”符合语境。almost“几乎，差不多”， rather “相当”，still“仍然，仍旧；更”均不符合语境。
下面的young and ragged都是外表，应该用look like “看起来像”。
由下文可知作者不想把钱给这个艺人，但又不知怎么花才好，所以应用表示转折的连词but。though 表让步，for表原因，therefore表结果。
这里是作者的心理活动，接着作者意识到不能因为对方是个街头艺人就凌驾于他之上。realize“意识到”符合语境。declare“宣布”，expect“期望”，guess“猜想”。
him指的是那个艺人
30．C 上下文串联。由下文可知作者进行了思想斗争之后，应该是停下来把钱放进……。文章中并没有提到捐钱的人很多，所以不用等待，也不用跟在别人后面，就在街上，也不用到达。
由上文可知艺人前面放了一顶帽子，是供观众往里投钱用的。
文章开头作者就提到他活得很自私，所以这儿他出了钱，就想着有所回报。awkward “笨拙的，局促的”，innocent“无辜的，清白的”，special“特别的；专门的”。
作者投钱之后期待的是一种快乐和满足感。appiness幸福，满足；sadness悲哀；
love爱；hate憎恶。
34．A 上下文串联。但是作者并没有得到那种感觉，所以作者应是失望地走开了。unfortunately“不幸地”，coincidentally“碰巧，巧合”，comfortably“舒适地”。
作者投了钱，但并没有获得快乐和满足，所以作者认为“这证明是浪费钱”。words“话语”，effort“努力”，space“空间”。
上一段提到作者失望地走了，又由on my way home可知下面的一幕发生在作者下午下班回家的路上，时间应是天快要黑的时候，所以应选B项。moment“时刻”，break“暂停，休息”，event“事件”。
因为天快要黑了，所以当作者再次看到那个艺人的时候，他正在装箱打包准备离开。pack up “装箱打包”，符合语境。walk around“四处走动”， passing by“经过”，run off“排出，流出”。
后面的宾语是a cafe counter(一家餐馆的柜台)，walk to 朝……走去所以应选D，。
。在这家餐馆的柜台前，他把挣到的所有的钱都倒进……total “全体的，总计的”，符合语境，chief “主要的，首要的”，basic“基本的”，actual“实际的，现实的”。
for在这里表目标或用途，意为为地震募捐资金的募捐箱。
作者由于受到这个艺人的大公无私，乐于奉献的精神的感染，应该是把身上所有的零钱都投进募捐箱。
