阅读理解     The day was Thankful Thursday. It"s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago.
Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. At noon, I drove to a McDonald"s with my daughters
because they kept complaining that they hadn"t had enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some
homeless people in the street and we bought lunch for them.
     We were about to complete when we found a small woman standing at the corner, asking for change. We handed her some food, and then started to head home. Suddenly from the mirror of the car, I saw the woman waving at us, so I had to turn around and stopped where the small woman stood. She walked to
our car, and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done anything like this for me before." I replied, "Well, I"m glad that we were the first." Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked,
"So, when do you think you"ll eat your lunch?" 
     She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I"m not going to eat this
lunch." I was confused, but before I could say anything, she continued. "You see, I have a little girl of my
own at home and she just loves McDonald"s, but I can never buy it for her because I just don"t have the
money. But you know what... tonight she is going to have McDonald"s!"
     I don"t know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small to have effect on those poor people. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of Mother Teresa"s words: "We cannot do great things - only small things with great love."1. The author drove to a McDonald"s to ______.                              
A. help the homeless people                                        
B. meet the small woman                                                      
C. buy food for the woman"s daughter                                  
D. have lunch with her daughters                                            
2. According to this passage, the small woman was ______.                    
A. too happy to stand at the corner                                  
B. too eager to ask for more food                                            
C. too poor to buy McDonald"s                                      
D. too busy to care for her daughter                                        
3. What can we know from the passage?                                        
A. The author finally realized what she did was of use to the poor.          
B. The author would stop doing her acts of kindness to the poor.            
C. The author"s daughters found their mother cried at the end of the day.  
D. The author"s daughters would make friends with the woman"s daughter.    
4. What would be the best title of the passage?                              
A. No Pains No Gains                                          
B. No Pleasure Without Pain                                                  
C. No Small Act of Kindness                                        
D. No Sweet Without Sweat
