試題分析：短文大意：這篇短文中介紹了瓊斯先生在自己的口袋里面發現了許多珠寶，沒有據為己有，卻錯誤的交到了賊的手里面，最后自己因此賠了一大筆錢的故事。

1.細節理解題。根據We have no waiter here. We only have waitresses.” “You gave the jewelry to a thief ！” Shouted the other man. 描述，可知是這個賊拿了這些珠寶。故選D。

2.標題歸納題。這篇短文主要描述了瓊斯先生錯誤的把一些珠寶給了一個自稱是服務員的男人，結果自己賠了一大筆錢。故選A，我們這兒沒有男服務員。

3.推理判斷題。文中的瓊斯先生發現自己的口袋里有有許多珠寶，沒有據為己有，而是交了出來。可見他是一個誠實的人。故選B。

4.推理判斷題。聯系前文We only have waitresses.” “You gave the jewelry to a thief ！” Shouted the other man. “I shall call the police!”描述，可知這樣情景下，瓊斯先生也許會被認為是賊的同伙，因此他很害怕。選B。
