We spent a day in the country，picking wild flowers.Our car looked like a  flower shop inside！On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights，and then my wife noticed the cupboard.
It was tall and narrow，and it stood outside a furniture shop.“Buy it，”she said at once.“We’ll carry it home on the roof rack (车顶架)．I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do？Ten minutes later I was $20 poorer，and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack.The police even stopped traffic to let us through.Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said，“There is a long line of cars behind.Why don’t they overtake (超车)，I wonder？”
In fact a police car did overtake.The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed.But then with great kindness，they led us through the rush­hour traffic.The police car stopped at our village church.One of the officers came to me.
I was puzzled.“Thanks，officer，”I said.“You’ve been very kind.I live just down the road.”
He was staring at our load：first at the flowers，then at the cupboard.“Well，well，”he said，laughing，“It’s a cupboard you’ve got here! We thought it was...er，something else.”
My wife began to laugh.Then the truth struck me immediately.I smiled at the officer，“Yes，it’s a cupboard，but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

A year ago in 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 (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 weren’t 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
60．According to the text，the Fusses ________.
A．were employed by a truck company
B．were in financial difficulty
C．worked in a school cafeteria
D．lost their home
61．Which of the following is TRUE of the Hatches?
A．They had their children during the 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.
62．Why 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.
63．What can we learn from 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 example.

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？In 2040 it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return.You will choose the temperature for each room，the lighting and the humidity (湿度)．A sensor (传感器) will detect the presence of a human (and，with luck，ignore the dog) and turn the systems on，and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer，and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you.They will detect faulty electrical appliances，plugs or switches，isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone，and then warn you that they need repair.They will detect fire and if you are out of the house，the computer will call the fire group.It will also call the police if the sensors detect an intruder (非法闯入者)．This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic.You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key，and a housebreaker will have to tamper (摆弄) with the lock or with a window.It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman policeman servant.It will be an entertainer，and most of your entertainment will come right into your home.It does now，of course，but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more.For one thing，you will be able to take part actively，rather than just watching.
64．The author intends to tell us that in 2040 ________.
A．we will live without lights and heaters
B．we will use more lights and heaters

65．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.
B．The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.
C．Without a computer，the sensor cannot do much.
D．The sensor is multi­functional.
66．According to the author，in 2040，new technology ________.
A．will turn everything into sensors
B．will free us from the keys we use today
C．will make the locks out of date
D．will get rid of all crimes
67．The best title for the passage might be ________.
A．Life at Home in the Year 2040
B．Sensors and Computers
C．The Devel
