Do you often help the people who are in need? One day, two boys were walking along the road to school. They saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to the town? If you are, we'll help you carry your basket.” “Thank you,” said the woman. “That's very kind of you.” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. Because she needed money. So the boys decided to lift (抬) the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were very happy.
The other day, I saw a little girl picking up a piece of banana peel. She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱). “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip and fall.”
Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That's right. But almost all great things are made up of such small things. We shouldn't wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these small things that are full of love.

1. 词义猜测题：前文提到小女孩把香蕉皮扔进垃圾箱，担心有人踩到香蕉皮后发生意外，结合后面的“fall（摔倒）”的提示，可知划线单词slip的中文含义是“滑倒”。
2. 细节理解题：选项A，原文第一段明确说明两个男孩正走在去学校的路上，这时遇到了老妇人，表述符合原文内容；选项B，小女孩扔进垃圾箱的是香蕉皮，不是梨，表述错误；选项C，全文没有提及作者经常帮助老人、哄他们开心的相关内容，表述错误。
3. 主旨大意题：文章通过两个善意的小事，最后点明核心观点：几乎所有伟大的事都由这类小事组成，我们不必等待时机去做伟大的事，应该从充满爱的小事做起。
