But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied 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 theBraunschweiger 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 kindergartenand a church.     The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least  190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one ofthem 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 Braunschweiger 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 boy's mother, told Der Spiegelmagazine. "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 company refused to pay for.     "For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks ofhimself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hoodcharacter, taking from banks to give to the needy.     Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who isabout to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero,for fear that discovery may stop the donations.71. The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of _. A. a church B. a bank C. a newspaper D. a magazine72.Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom? A. The donation amounted to  190,000. B. The donation was sent directly to his house. C. The money will be used for his education. D. His mother felt astonished at the donation.73. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. the donator is a rich old man B. the donation will continue to come C. the donation comes from the newspaper D. the donator will soon be found out74. 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 Envelopes D. Robin Hood Returns to the CityBDeputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across America's farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel pricesand crop-eating insects. The country's farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.     Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of America's farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of "useless" college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.     "Ther
