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 accident. “it really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says dave.but the fusses werent 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 couldnt 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.56. according to the text, the fusses _.a. were employed by a truck company b. were in financial difficultyc. worked in a school cafeteria d. lost their home57. which of the following is true of

package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. life is a learning process. experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. with each passing day we learn to handle various situations.lovelove plays a key role in our life. love makes you feel wanted. without love a person could go hayward (不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious. in the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care; they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. but we always tend to take this for granted. it is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.happiness and sorrowmaterialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. peace of mind is the main link to happiness. no mind is happy without peace. we realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. but these things are temporary and pass away.failure and successfailure is the path to success. it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. the only way to show our gratitude to god for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.hope and despairhope is what keeps life going. parents always hope their children will do well. hope makes us dream. hope builds in patience. life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. nothing remains the same. we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. so the only alternative is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.61. in the passage,

sorrow.c. to remind people of keeping having a beautiful dream.d. to give readers some information about life.cschools are almost all connected to the internet. but some have more technology, and use it more than others. for example, some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing, to bring the world into the classroom. and some classrooms are equipped with things like a smart board, a kind of interactive whiteboard. interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations. they connect to a computer and can operate by touch. they can be used for documents or writing or to project video. some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like ipods and mobile phones. but educators say the most important thing, as always, is the content. yet technology can have special importance in some cases. cosmobot is a therapy robot. it stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.one child who works with it is six-year-old kevin fitzgerald. kevin has developmental dyspraxia： he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue. he works with carole semango-sprouse as he interacts with the cosmobot during therapy for his condition. here, he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles. kevins mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends. cosmobot was developed by anthro tronix. corinna lathan started the company ten years ago to work with children with cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities. children become friends with the robot, she says. that can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions. corinna lathan is currently working with a british company to develop other socially helpful robots. she says they are still considered research tools in the united states, and not used as
