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、They wanted to save money.
B、They decided to open a store.
C、They couldn’t afford expensive things.
D、They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
答案
A
解析
由选项中出现的They wanted to/decided to可以看出,本题考查的是They的愿望想法或是做某事的原因。短文提到Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.(Ish and Arlen有省钱的习惯),后面又提到They...would routinely go from store to store,由此可知两位老人去不同的商店是为了省钱,故答案为[A]。
