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. "
The passage is mainly about______.
选项 A、how individuals can help make a difference
B、running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problems
C、citizens’ reactions to the problems they face
D、solving problems through group action
答案A
解析 选项A中的短语make a difference的意思是“起(重要)作用”，与文章从头到尾讲的关于马克的故事吻合，是文章要表达的中心内容，所以A是正确答案。选项B和C只是文章涉及的一个方面，不是文章的主要内容。选项D，文中没有提到，所以不能入选。
