D.Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）
This is a story of a man who works in a big factory.He was a little bit weird（怪异的）.He always wore an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag.He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime walking around in that old big factory and collecting used tins(铝罐).
One day,I was fixing one of the broken machines in the factory when this“tin man”came with his bag.As usual,he picked up the tins,which were all over the place.My manager was standing there,watching me.
When I finished my job,I heard my manager ask the“tin man”about what he was going to do with those tins he had collected.I didn’t even think about this kind of question,because I always guessed that“tin man”would take those tins to the recycling center.
Unexpectedly（出乎意料）,the“tin man”answered,“I will give these tins to my neighbor.He is too sick to work.”
I was shocked to hear that,so I asked him：“You mean you collect all those tins just to help your neighbor?”
