【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了圣诞节之前，马克用自己攒的钱去超市买节日礼物，当他付款的时候，发现钱不见了，一个女士过来帮助付款，告诉他等他长大后也要帮助别人。

1.根据文章The third Saturday in December可知在12月18 号左右，故在圣诞节之前，选Ｂ。

2. 细节里解题。从Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car可知在作者等待停车时Mark已自己提了篮子在超市了，故选Ｂ。

3.根据There was a hole in his pocket, but no money可知Mark的口袋有个洞钱不见了，故选Ｃ。

4.根据A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms及Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter可知妇女给了钱让Mark去付款，故应该感谢她，选A。

5. 主旨题的考查。根据后面妇女给了钱让Mark付款及她说的话It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me可知Ｄ正确，而Ａ,Ｂ只是文章的一个方面，文章并没有提到一家人，故Ｃ也不对。

考点：故事类阅读。
