Part III Reading comprehension

Passage 1

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 (

遗产

) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch,

who

died

in

an

accid

ent.

“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 (

喜欢

) 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 (

社区

) and last for generations to come.

Neighbors helping neighbors

—

that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’ s story.

Passage 2

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language

—

the way

it

can

evoke

(

唤起

)an

emotion,

a

visual

image,

a

complex

idea,

or

a simple

truth.

Language_is_the_tool_of_my_trade. And I use them all

all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born

California,

I’

ve

been

giving

more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to

people as “broken” English.

needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited
