But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，acpanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话）.The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained 10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名）envelopes, each containing 10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep ing, and so far at least 190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news, Claudia Neumann, the boys mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance pany refused to pay for.For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing, Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know. However, he has told his reporters not to look for the citys hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.56. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of _.A. a churchB. a bankC. a newspaper D. a magazine57.Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?A. The donation amounted to 190,000.B.

His mother felt astonished at the donation.58.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the donator is a rich old manB. the donation will continue to eC. the donation es from the newspaperD. the donator will soon be found out59.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper. B. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy. C. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in EnvelopesD. Robin Hood Returns to the CityBI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldnt bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, ing across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something,“Im awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.60.

Tonight it was to select the sweetest whisper of love ever said between husband and wife.The final petition was held among 10 married couples. Seven of them were young ones, two middle-aged and one old. The last turn came to the old couple. The old lady took the microphone and said the sweetest whisper of love she had ever heard was: “ Are you standing or sitting?”The host fixed his eyes on her, quite puzzled by her words.Regardless of all the talking around, she went on with her story. Her husband had been a doctor before he retired. One day when he was on duty at the hospital, he felt a sharp pain at the heart. By his professional knowledge he knew immediately he suffered a fit of heart attack. His colleagues carried him at once to the operation room and prepared him for a bypass operation, which was highly risky. The patients family members had to be informed before it began. The patient himself was allowed to put in a word. Lying silently on the operation table with a trembling hand, he dialed after a moments thinking of the number of his wifes phone. Finally a familiar voice came from the other end“So many years had passed but memory of this incident remained fresh in my mind. What he said in the beginning was: Are you standing or sitting? He was actually worried about me, wondering how I felt at the news. He was afraid I would have fallen flat onto the ground. In such a critical (危急的)state as he was then, his thought still went to me” The old lady concluded slowly, “Thats the sweetest whisper of love Ive ever heard all my life.”A loud applause followed in the wake of a short silence. 64.

However, have you heard about a frog that can kill a person?These small brightly colored amphibians (两栖动物) live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. They are best known for their ability to kill persons even though they are no more than 2 inches long. If we touch their poisonous skin without proper protection (such as gloves), we may die! For animals of this size that can be so deadly, they are certainly one of the worlds most poisonous animals! Who are they? They are poison arrow frogs or, simply, poison frogs.Poison frogs acquired their name from the Indians. The Indians catch and kill many of these frogs before hanging them upside down over a campfire. As the frogs get hot, the poison drips out of their skin. The Indians collect the poisonous liquid in a bottle and dip the tips of their arrows into the bottle. Once the tips are dried, they are ready to be used for their arrows.There are about 170 different types of poison arrow frogs in the world. Though most species have bright markings, either in stripes or patches, on their black bodies, some just wear noticeable single-colored coats. Their shocking skin colors usually in yellow, red, green, blue or orange serve as a warning sign to other animals. The sign simply says, “Stay away or pay with your life!” They certainly do not bluff.68. The 2nd paragraph mainly talks about _. A. what poison frogs are B. where poison frogs liveC. why poison frogs are dangerous .D. when poison frogs attack animals69. We can infer that the Indians may kill poison frogs in order to _.

Poison frogs want to stop others from ing near.D. Poison frogs just pretend to be dangerous animals.EI arrived at my mothers home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked. “Oh?” Mom said, “thats Mamas quilt.” I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right. “Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didnt look like any of the quilts she had made. “Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said, “Im still working on it. See, this is what Ive done so far.”I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line.
