    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 it was         for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at the risk of joining the millions of Americans who have        their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely        —$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 meeting difficulty.” says Dave.
    But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to        unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were     by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in       , it was more than $100,000.
    It        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     . They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
    Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t        it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you        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        their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should        the whole community and last for generations to come.
    Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.

    When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so       of it that I looked upon it       I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to         it. I could       wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.
    As the tables were not       from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.       I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
    When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was       it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand       it, she noticed it was still wet.
    “Were you       to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am,” I       with my head down.
    She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was       stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never       it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管员), thinking that she would       it away.
    Thirty years later at a reunion, I       that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her       to get something important. I followed her       into a dark corner. She picked something up.       she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
    Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of       to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to      .

    I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’ too. But at least, I wasn’t alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
    My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we’d be gone an hour, then we should be gone one hour or less -- not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
    The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept - my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
    Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to live up to expectations. Our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks.
    As the years rolled by, first one and then the other of us was put to shame. We graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.
    My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. None of us have ever been arrested or divorced. Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country. She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.
    小题1:The author’s mother wanted her children to _________.
    A．do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens
    B．be top students in school and graduate with honors
    C．stop seeing her friends who pretended to be sick to skip classes
    D．bring home colored report cards like her friends did
    小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
    A．The author has a deep hatred for her mother.
    B．The author’s mother set timetables for her children whenever they went out.
    C．Some of the children weren’t able to go to college because of their mean mother.
    D．As a parent, the author is following her mother’s example.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that________.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
    A．All the other kids at school studied better than the author.
    B．The author worked hard and usually got good grades in studies.
    C．Mother was punished for breaking the Labor Law.
    D．The author’s family lived a miserable life.

    There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.
    Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.
    But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.
    At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.
    小题1:It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to ________.
    A．build glass-houses in his free time　
    B．grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cup
    C．win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color
    D．grow a rose with the longest name.
    小题2:Boys were often tempted to ________.
    A．throw stones at Mr. Flowers’ glass-house　
    B．throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their school
    C．be in or near by Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses　
    D．play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses
    小题3:Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses _______.
    A．at times when school-boys were walking near them
    B．all the school day when there were no boys about
    C．where he could not be seen by the boys passing
    D．in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day
    小题4:Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to protect his glass.
    A．be on watch in his free time B．ask the headmaster for help
    C．pick up all the stones around his garden D．do all the above
