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 (遺產(chǎn)) form 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. Doxens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars ; in other, it was more than $100,000.   
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were am 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 own (喜歡) 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 you needed anything,” says their friend Sand Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do go 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 cent —should enrich the whole community (社區(qū)) and Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story .  
Neighbors helping neighbors ——that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.

 Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is  36 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane  37  night after night. One would
 38  them to know their parts by heart and  39  have cause to falter(結(jié)巴).Yet 40 is not always the case.
  A famous actor in a  41  successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat  42 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act,a gaoler(監(jiān)獄長,看守)would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.  43  the noble was expected to read the letter at each  44  ,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.
  One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke  45  his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the  46  of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed(使顯露)the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then,the gaoler  47 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the  48 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 
 49  as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 50  to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then,squinting(瞇著眼看)his eves,he said,“The light is 51 .Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 52  that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied,“The light is indeed dim,sir. I must get my  53 ”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s 54 ,the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the  55  copy of the letter which he proceeded(繼續(xù)進(jìn)行)to read to the prisoner.

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(騾子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤) us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻轉(zhuǎn)) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
小題1:Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A.They made a careful preparation before the trip
B.They children were more joyful than their parents.
C.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
D.The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
小題2:The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means            .
A.we were weakB.we were unhappy
C.we were dissatisfiedD.we were disappointed
小題3:Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?
A.It proved to be frightening.B.It was more comfortable
C.It turned out to be excitingD.It made each of them tired.
小題4:We can infer from the passage that          .
A.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way
B.one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.
C.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.
D.the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’ ”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘ We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did — in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.
Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
小題1:Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.
A.support his familyB.pay for his college education
C.help his partner expand businessD.do some research
小題2:Which of the following is true of Buck?
A.He put money into the sandwich business.
B.He was a professor of business as ministration.
C.He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D.He rented a storefront for Deluca.
小題3:What can we learn about their first shop?
A.It stood at an unfavorable place.
B.It lowered the prices to poor management.
C.It made no profits due to poor management.
D.It lacked control over the quality of sandwich.
小題4:They decided to open a second store because they _________.
A.had enough money to do it
B.had succeeded in their business
C.wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D.wanted to make believe that they were successful
小題5: What contributes most do their success according to the author?
