7.Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work,others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying.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 the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was ro bbed 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 coming,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 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 DerSpiegel 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 company 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 Braunschweiger 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 city's hero,for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

17.Almost anywhere in the world,you can probably see graffiti (涂鸦画).Although it's usually more common in big cities,it can be found in almost any community,big or small.
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art.This isn't always an easy question to answer,simply because there are so many different types of graffiti.While some simply consists of collections of letters,known as tags,with little artistic value,such examples are easy to find,especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission,it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art.Most graffiti,however,annoys the property owner,who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed,such as paints that  dissolve graffiti paint,or make it easy to remove.Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them.Graffiti artists can,for example,create murals (壁画) for property owners,and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level,and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls.After all,who would remember Monet or Picasso if they'd created their masterpieces on walls,only to have them painted over the next day?Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy,but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world,we do need to try.

66.What would be the best title for this passage?D
A.How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist.B.Stop Removing Graffiti!
C.Do You Like Graffiti?D.Is Graffiti Art?
67.The reason why people remove graffiti is that itA.
A.makes buildings ugly                  B.has no artistic value at all
C.robs private property                   D.takes up too much space
68.In Paragraph 4,the underlined word"dissolve"is closest in meaning toC.
A.change         B.flow          C.remove           D.freeze
69.The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate thatD.
A.they are world-famous artists
B.they are good at graffiti
C.walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D.their works,if painted on the wall,might not be kept long

12.Hallmark  arrived in my hometown of Calcutta,India when I was 16.On Valentine's Day(情人节),I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store.I remember wishing two things.One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me.Unfortunately,Valentine's Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(资本主义) was ruining your culture.
The next Valentine's Day,I still didn't have a boyfriend,but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer.I can't remember what it exactly said inside the card,but it hardly mattered.I know I'm not the only one who's had the blues because of being single on Valentine's Day.

My view of romance has changed from when I was 16in Calcutta to now,23,and living in Manhattan.This year,I won't focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day.I'll spend Valentine's Day with friends in New York City.But I won't try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone.Instead,I'll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome.
