　　One day, as two little boys were walking along the road, they passed a woman carrying a large basket of apples.
       
        　　The boys thought the woman looked very pale and tired, so they said, "Are you going to town? If you are, we will carry your basket." "Thank you," replied the woman, Then she told them that she had a disabled son. She lived in a small house three miles away, and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden. She needed the money for their living.
       
        　　"We are going the same way you are," said the boys and they took hold of the basket, one on each side, and trudged along with merry hearts. The poor woman looked glad, and said that she hoped their mother would not be angry with them. "Oh, no," they replied, "our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can."
       
        　　The woman then offered to give them a few apples for their help. "No, thank you. We want nothing for what we have done," said the boys. When the woman got home, she told her son what had happened on the road, and they were both made happier that day by the kindness of the two boys.
       
        　　Another day, the woman saw his son stop and pick up a piece of orange peel, which he threw into the dustbin. "I wish people would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk," said the son. ＂Someone may walk upon it, and fall.＂ ＂That is right, my dear,＂ she said. "It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you’re thoughtful and considerate."

        　　34. C【解析】细节理解题。根据文中的句子our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can.可知，是他们的妈妈教他们要乐于助人，故答案选C。
       
        　　35. B【解析】推理判断题。A、这个女人的花园里有很多苹果树。根据and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden.可知A选项错误；B、每个人都可以从小事做起来帮助他人。根据our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can.以及It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you’re thoughtful and considerate.可知B选项是正确的；C、那个女人没有钱送儿子上学。通读文章的第二段可知本文只是告诉我们那个女人有一个残疾儿子，而且她的生活很拮据，但并没有告诉我们那个女人没有钱送儿子上学，故C选项错误；D、穷人比妇人需要更多的帮助。通读全文可知文中并没有提到这样的话题，所以D选项错误；本题是问哪一个句子是正确的，故答案选B。
       
        　　37. C【解析】标题归纳题。通读全文可知本文是讲述了两个小男孩帮助帮助一位妇人背苹果到市场去，妇人很感激他们。回家后妇人把这件事告诉了她自己的儿子，她的儿子受其影响把路边的橘子皮捡起来仍进了垃圾桶。他们所做的都是微不足道的小事，所以选项C＂小小的善举＂符合题意，故选C。
