research and program funding.while i was talking to people about our “tour de cure” event in downtown denver one day, i met a young boy wearing a red hat from oklahoma named jack. i think he was 1011 years old. it was the jar of red rubber wrist bands (the american diabetes association diabetes awareness wrist bands) that caught jacks eye. these are the bands we give out to people who have diabetes, who have a family member who has diabetes or to those people who know someone who has diabetes.people wear these for a variety of reasons: in memory of a loved one, to promote diabetes awareness and to show support for people who have diabetes. jack walked towards me eyeing the jar and then he said, “can i have one of those？” so, i replied to jack, “do you have someone in your family who has diabetes？” jack said, “no, but i know someone who has diabetes.” so i gave him one to wear for his friend.then, jack began looking at our “tour de cure” photo album. when jack had finished and was about to go, he looked up at me and said, “would you take a donation？” i was surprised to hear this from a 1011yearold boy, but i said, “yes.” i took the lid of our donation container off as jack was reaching into his pocket. his hand came out clinched around the donation he was about to make. it was my impression that what he had in his hand was everything he had in his pocket, as he did not count it. after jack dropped his donation into the container, i gave him a highfive, as i so often do to acknowledge an accomplishment or an appreciation. i also gave him a handshake before he parted. after jack left, i counted his gift$3.00. i then realized that he gave all he had, without counting the cost.the heart of a child made me smile that day. thank you,

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 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.【文章大意概括】本文主要介绍了一对关心邻里、无私奉献的夫妻。他们把自己的财产留给需要的人，强调人人互助，世界就会更美好。1according to the text, the fusses _.a. were employed by a truck companyb. were in financial difficultyc. worked in a school

great depression.b. they left the family farm to live in an old house.c. they gave away their possessions to their neighbors.d. they helped their neighbors to find jobs.【详解剖析】事实细节题。第四段第一句话说hatch夫妇是在大萧条时期出生的，而不是他们在大萧条时期有了孩子，排除a；第三段提到他们的老房子位于他们家的农场里，b错误；第二段提到他们帮助有困难的邻居们，但并未提及帮他们找工作，d错误。c项说他们把自己的财产捐赠给邻居，符合文意，故答案为c。【最佳选项】c3why would the hatches routinely go from store to store?a. they decided to open a store.b. they wanted to save money.c. they couldn t afford expensive things.d. they wanted to buy gifts for local kids.【详解剖析】推理判断题。第四段提到他们有节约的习惯，买东西之前喜欢一个商店一个商店地比较价格，显然是为了省钱，故答案为b。a，他们决定开个商店；c，他们买不起贵的东西；d，他们想给当地的孩子买礼物，都明显与文意不符。【最佳选项】b4according to sandy van weelden, the hatches were_.a. understandingb.

the text?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

weelden得到了hatches夫妇的一份遗产，文章只是提到他对他们的评价，并未说他得到遗产之事；从文章倒数第二段第二句话以及最后一段可以看出，hatches夫妇的愿望就是他们的遗产能够为社区以及子孙后代造福，邻里之间能够互相帮助，故答案为d。【最佳选项】d (2012太原调研)bake sugar cookiesnobody is actually sure who created the
