In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her it was a “fairy tale”. Jean wascompletely disappointed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement. “Girls can’t become airline pilots; never have, never will. You’re crazy.” Finally Jean gave up.
In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a strict teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question, “What will you do in the future?” Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm (热情), and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream right away.

The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared suddenly. Jean felt thrilled and told her teacherabout her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped (敲) the desk top, “Then do it!” she said.

“But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said，reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.
Over the next few weeks，with her help，I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play，my teacher came over to me. “Your mom asked me to give this to you，” she said，handing me a dandelion.

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December 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 (收银台) 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, I 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 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 they got to the supermarket, Mark went in ________.
A. by himself B. with the writer
C. with the woman D. with his friends
2.What happened to Mark in the supermarket?
