A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift — $ 7,000, a legacy from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. "It really made a difference when we were going under financially," says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens; of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million — they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. "Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything," says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. "They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them."
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy — a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents — should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors — that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about the Fusses from the passage?
27. What do we learn about the Hatches according to the speaker?
28. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
29. What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、The community of Alto was poor.
B、The summer camp was attractive to the parents.
C、Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D、The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.
答案
D
解析
由短文中提到的It was the Hatches’wish that their legacy——a legacy of kindness as much as one ofdollars and cents—should…last for generations to come.可知,Hatches一家的愿望是希望这种与邻为善……流传下去,[D]是对此的同义转述,故为答案。
