When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. On 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(交款处) 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(毯子) 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.

40. D McCarty出生在1908年，死于1999年，享年91岁，所以选项A错误；在第二段可以知道她洗衣服洗了差不多80年，所以选项B错误；最后一段我们知道她把钱留给了教堂、她的亲戚和大学，所以选项C也是错误的；而因为她所做的这些贡献，她得到了很多荣誉。所以D是正确的。

One possible version:
Sunshine in My Life
Everyone has different ideas about life. Some say life is happy, but others feel life is unhappy. In my opinion, life is beautiful and full of sunshine.
Several weeks ago, one of my classmates Sun was badly ill. He had to be in hospital for a long time. But his family was too poor to afford it. What could we do? We decided to raise money for him. Everyone in our class took out our pocket money. Then we went to the street on Sunday to raise money from others. When we gave all the money to him, he and his parents were deeply moved.
Maybe sometimes we feel unlucky, but we should believe that life is beautiful and that help and love will be around us forever.
