问题     Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.
    Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There were charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.
    It was much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here. "
    Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves," he decided. "That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world. "
    As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said. "You’ve got great timing!"
    "Just being neighborly,"Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up." Mark smiled and thought, "Maybe that’s a good place to start. "
What is the implication of the words on the bus wall?
选项 A、You should be kind to your neighbors and they will treat you the same way.
B、Everyone can play his own part to make things better.
C、All small acts will add up to kindness.
D、It’s a small act to help a person in need.
答案B
解析 Small acts of kindness add up的意思是：“小善举成大事”，旨在鼓励大家不要因事小而不为，人人都做一些身边的小事，帮助别人，大家会生活地更幸福些。文中提到马克帮助一个小男孩的事情就是一个绝好的例子。别的三个选项都不是这句话准确的含义。选项C似是而非，很有迷惑性。add up的意思是“总数达……；归结为……”。All small actsadd up to kindness．显然不合道理。
