【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 了解大意之后找出中心思想。5．閱讀理解 One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison（監(jiān)獄） . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened. At that moment, I thought to myself, Why aren39。t most adults this way? Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don39。t even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they39。re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure（失?。?. However, with kids, when they fall down, they don39。t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected falling down with the word failure. What39。s more, they probably think to themselves that it39。s quite okay to fall down and that it39。s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

Before Christmas Day, Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter （交款處） and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face. Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you, said the woman. It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now. Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us. I would like to say thank you to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets （毯子） and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.（1）When did the story probably happen?
