　　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 Braunschweiger 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 envelops 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 14­year­old 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 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 wheelchair­accessible 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.

　　(2015年河北唐山模拟)My

　　16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.

　　Still, the firefighter's first words” You need to come up here to the Still water River” made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “You son is OK.”

　　When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.

　　I hurried over to him. “You OK?” I asked.

　　Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him—but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”

　　I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window. I was reminded that still water often runs deep.

　　Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

　　He was an excellent swimmer.

　　2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Sharing cars to work is not unusual. But what about sharing time to raise children together? In Ningbo city of Zhejiang province in East China, young mothers in the same neighborhood pool their children together, and share the responsibility of being parents.

　　Spending every day together, but not families — in this coastal city of East China, three mothers are trying a new way of raising their kids, by pooling them together. Among the mothers are both office workers and housewives. They say they do so not just because of the tight schedule. Jiujiu’s mother said, “By kids pooling, we mean to create an opportunity for the kids to spend time together so that we can observe our kids, learn more about them. And then we can discuss how to better bring them up.”

　　The three families have been doing so for two years, in school days and holidays. Their children have grown used to each other’s company. Chichi’s mother said, “My son was a bit shy. We’ve been talking him to be more active, but he hardly changed. After joining the kids pool, suddenly we found him willing to communicate with others now. When we are not there, he has to rely on himself to get along with his pals.”

　　Generally, mothers speak highly about the pooling. The mothers describe the pooling as bringing the running water into a closed pond. It opens a window to a different world for both kids and parents. But there are moments when opinions differ. Xiaoxiao’s mother said, “Sex education for example. Kids will be curious about it when they reach a certain age. Personally I want to talk with my child about it, frankly and sincerely. But the other two moms think it better not to bring it up.” Xiaoxiao’s mother says her solution is to share some parenting guidebooks with other mothers and let them make the decision.

　　The headmaster of the kindergarten believes such pooling activities test not only children, but also the parents. Jin Hongqing, kindergarten headmaster said, “Parents need to be tolerant and patient. They shouldn’t play the blame game when kids fight with each other. It’s better to let the kids solve the issue by themselves. What they can do as parents is to communicate.”

　　1. All the following aspects are the benefits of kids pooling EXCEPT ________.

　　A. It saves time and helps relieve mother’s burden.

　　B. It offers better education than the kindergartens.

　　C. It allows parents to learn more about kids.

　　D. It allows kids to learn to share and be independent.

　　2. Why is sex education mentioned in the passage?

　　A. To suggest children are sometimes curious about it.

　　B. To explain sex education is not suitable for children.

　　C. To indicate mothers think highly of kids pooling.

　　D. To show sometimes mothers have different opinions.

　　3. What’s the writer’s attitude towards kids pooling?

　　A. Unclear.

　　B. Favorable.

　　C. Negative.

　　D. Doubtful.

　　4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

　　A. Chinese parenting.

　　B. Sharing cars.

　　C. Sharing children.

　　D. Kids pooling.

　　参考答案1—4、BDAD

　　阅读理解.

　　It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.

　　I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents' room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I'd never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could have happened?

　　"Max, I'm so sorry," I heard him say. That's when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died.Max has been my dad's best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that shehad problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn't live a normal life ，she was still happy.

　　When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live ina hospital in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. She wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate. In a way, she lived through me.

　　After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).

　　Her funeral was very different from any funeral I'd ever been to. After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. I remember crying so hard, I felt weak. My cheeks burned from the tears. My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but I'm glad I did it.

　　When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life.
