【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 a small pany in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was hard, 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)) 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 people 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 other, 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 liked parison 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 camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sand 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 cent—should enrich the whole munity (社區(qū)) and last for generations to e.

CThere are two kinds of memory: shortterm and longterm. Information in longterm memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in shortterm memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how shortterm memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike。 students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning39。s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their shortterm memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shortterm memory.65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in shortterm memory is different from that in longterm memory.B. Longterm memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test shortterm memory than long, term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.66. From Henning39。s result we can see that ______.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students always remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words tha
