解析：

整體把握：短文講述了一個(gè)近似于中國(guó)的“濫竿充數(shù)”的故事。一個(gè)從小不學(xué)知識(shí)的人，雖然能掙到許多錢(qián)，但是內(nèi)心的空虛是無(wú)法用錢(qián)彌補(bǔ)的，他買(mǎi)了許多書(shū)來(lái)充當(dāng)門(mén)面，經(jīng)常故意找有學(xué)問(wèn)的人談話(huà)、交朋友，當(dāng)然也是洋相百出。 (1) 點(diǎn)撥：由下文的the book keeper得知。 (2) 點(diǎn)撥：父親認(rèn)為他兒子上學(xué)沒(méi)用處。 (3) 點(diǎn)撥：父親教兒子怎樣去多掙錢(qián)。 (4) 點(diǎn)撥：由城鎮(zhèn)搬家到城市。 (5) 點(diǎn)撥：父親年齡大了，不能經(jīng)營(yíng)商店了，兒子不得不代替父親來(lái)做這件事。 (6) 點(diǎn)撥：因?yàn)闆](méi)有知識(shí)，經(jīng)常當(dāng)眾被嘲笑。 (7) 點(diǎn)撥：因?yàn)椤�…，所以他買(mǎi)了許多書(shū)和書(shū)架。 (8) 點(diǎn)撥：把書(shū)和書(shū)架放在客廳里，目的是讓客人一進(jìn)門(mén)就看得見(jiàn)。 (9) 點(diǎn)撥：他很認(rèn)真地聽(tīng)那些有學(xué)問(wèn)的人說(shuō)話(huà)。 (10) 點(diǎn)撥：著名的作家肯定有學(xué)問(wèn)呀，他才更樂(lè)于前往。 (11) 點(diǎn)撥：所以他肯定要送些貴重禮物了。 (12) 點(diǎn)撥：飯后開(kāi)始聊天。 (13) 點(diǎn)撥：他什么文學(xué)知識(shí)也不懂，作家只好問(wèn)一個(gè)最容易的問(wèn)題。 (14) 點(diǎn)撥：作家只好盡快地結(jié)束談話(huà)。 (15) 點(diǎn)撥：沙士比亞是一個(gè)很好吃的蛋糕，就像中國(guó)的月餅。
