23、llions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years。Then Dave and Gerriereceived a timely gift7,000,a legacy(遗产)from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatchwho died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，”says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks

24、 in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell toreceive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched bythe Hatches generosity.In some cases,it was a few thousand dollars;in others，it was morethan 100,000。It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，mo

25、re than 3millionthey were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the familyfarm.Children of the Great Depression,Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving。They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store,checking pricesbefore making a new p

31、 limited to those who choose to study literature at university。Shakespeares work,together with most other classics，is seen as remote，and written ina 400。year。old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.Still，in British schools，it is compulsory to study the bard（诗人），and whensomethin

32、g is made compulsory，usually the result is boredom，resentment（憎恨）or both。This was my experience of the classics at school。But when I reached my late teenageyears,I had a change of heart.Like every other young person since the dawn of time,the worldconfused me.I wanted answers，so I turned to books to

33、 find them.6I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China.I have neverregretted it.There is something in literature that people want,even if they dont read books.You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works,the recent filmversion of Jane A

40、ve already memorized thousands of lines of verse in the form oflyrics。How did you memorize the lyrics of songs？You simply listened to songs you likedover and over again until you almost couldnt help but have them memorized。Memorizingpoetry isnt much different.You start with a poem you like,recite it
