五、阅读理解,阅读短文，选择最佳答案。

Mark went to the neighborhood meeting after work．The neighborhood faced many problems，parking，crime and so on．It was too 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 nearing the bus stop，Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag（杂货袋） and a baby．She was trying to unlock the car，but she didn’t have a free hand．As Mark got closer，her other child，a little boy，suddenly rushed into the street．The woman tried to reach for him，but as she moved，her bag shifted and the 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，Mark smiled and thought， “Maybe that’s a good place to start．” Mark didn’t think he could make a difference for his neighbors because problems were too big．But now he knew he could do something for others．One can’t imagine being a great man and doing a great deed overnight．But a little thing can make a difference．Even if you’re the only one to take the first step，continue trying and others will someday work together，then we will solve even our greatest problems．
