When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money (零花钱) for over three months to buy holiday gifts. On the third Saturday in December, Mark said he had made his list (清单) and had twenty dollars in his pocket (口袋).

    I drove him to a nearby supermarket.    51    I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money.    52    There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears fell down his face.

    Then a surprising thing happened.    53    "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.   54 _     When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now."

    Mark took the money 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.

       55    I want to 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 also want to tell her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

八、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)

In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive(竞争性的) sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.

Sports days, or sports meetings, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the end of the school year. They are also called field days.

Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg-and-spoon race and the sack race（套袋赛跑）. Other events include the skipping race (跳绳) and the three-legged race. In middle and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events(田径项目). They are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.

Students’ parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days. They watch children play. Many schools in the West have “mothers and fathers” races for parents to take part in!

Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the US, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much pressure (压力) on the children. Some schools don’t have “mothers and fathers” races any more as there is much fighting and cheating.

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

76. What do children try to do when they take part in sports meetings?

_______________________________________________

77. When are sports days usually held in the school years?

_______________________________________________
