| A year ago 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.

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.

| Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing paper.No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper.Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A"paperless classroom"is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don't do any handwriting in this class.Instead, they use palm size, or speciallydesigned computers.The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer. Having computers also means that students can use the Web.They can look up information on any subject they're studying from maths to social science. High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afganistan(阿富汗) over one year ago. "We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps (难民营), "she said."Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible." And exams can go online too.At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers.The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book. A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky US said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student. "Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers, "she said. But, with all this technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hitech students. 1. What does the part of the last but one sentence in the first paragraph, "run out of ink at the critical moment" mean? A. Pens may not write welt at the critical moment. B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment. C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment. D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't. 2. In a paperless classroom, what is a must? A. Pens. B. Computers. C. Information. D. Texts. 3. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that________. A. the Web could take them everywhere B. the Web taught them a lot C. the Web is a good tool for information D. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive(全面的) information 4. The paperless classrooms will benefit ________ the most. A. students B. teachers C. trees D. computers 5. What does the phrase in the last paragraph, "break down", mean? A. Break into pieces. B.
