He grew up poor and worked as a carpenter for the same company for 67 years. “Went to work every day. Worked really hard. Was frugal,” said Schroeder’s good friend Steve Nielsen. “He had church jeans and work jeans.”No one thought that he had saved up a large number of money. Schroeder never married and had no children, so before he died, he went to his lawyer with a plan for his money. “He said, ‘I never got the chance to go to college. So, I’d like to help kids go to college’,” Nielsen told CBS News. “Finally, I was curious and I said, ‘How much are we talking about, Dale ’ And he said, ‘Oh, just shy of $3 million’. I nearly fell out of my chair,” Nielsen recalled.Schroeder left special instructions for his money: send kids to college. “He wanted to help kids that were like him, and that probably would not have had a chance to go to college without his gift,” Nielsen said. Schroeder ended up paying for 33 strangers’ college money. The persons, who have named themselves “Dale’s kids”, got together earlier this month to honor the great man who changed their lives.

【译文】一位来自得梅因的退休木匠自2005年去世以来，已经帮助送了33个孩子上大学。戴尔·施罗德是一个简单、诚实的人。他从小贫穷长大，在同一家公司当了67年的木匠。“每天都去上班。工作非常努力。施罗德的好朋友史蒂夫·尼尔森说。“他有教堂牛仔裤和工作牛仔裤。”没有人认为他存了一大笔钱。施罗德从未结婚，也没有孩子，所以在他死前，他带着一个理财计划去找了他的律师。“他说，‘我从来没有机会去上大学。所以，我想帮助孩子们上大学。”“最后，我很好奇，我说，‘我们在谈论多少，戴尔？’”他说，“哦，还不到300万美元。”我差点从椅子上掉下来，”尼尔森回忆道。施罗德给他的钱留下了特别的指示：送孩子去上大学。尼尔森说：“他想帮助像他这样的孩子，但如果没有他的礼物，这些孩子可能就没有机会上大学了。”施罗德最终支付了33个陌生人的大学学费。这些自称为“戴尔的孩子”的人，本月早些时候聚在一起，以纪念这位改变了他们生活的伟人。他们现在都是医生、老师了。 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，向我们介绍一位老人用自己的钱送33个陌生人上大学的故事。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据“Went to work every day. Worked really hard. Was frugal（节俭的）”可知，Dale Schroeder努力且节俭，故选D。【2题详解】词句猜测题。分析“‘How much are we talking about, Dale ’ And he said, ‘Oh, just shy of $3 million’.”可知，Dale Schroeder只是个节俭的木匠，但是他却捐了将近300万美元，所以Nielsen对Dale节省下来的钱的数量感到惊讶。故选A。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据“The persons, who have named themselves ‘Dale’s kids’, got together earlier this month to honor the great man who changed their lives.”可知，“戴尔的孩子们”尊重戴尔，因为他改变了他们的生活。故选D。
