    The names 0f donors whose personal donations are more than 1，000 yuan（US$132） and group donations that are more than 10，000 yuan（US$1，320）will be carved on a monument at the school to mark the contributions．China Daily will also open a special column to follow the development of the China Daily Readers Hope School and give timely reports on the loving and caring stories of the donors．

Dear College Dean
It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to enhance (improve) the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of this school to promote education and to be in the vanguard of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.
We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.
While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Students are asked to create PowerPoint presentations and use spreadsheets and database programs, as well as to research many topics on the Internet. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning, giving students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find.
If there are more computers, students will also be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.
The more computers are used in society the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life
68．The purpose of the author in writing the passage is__________
A．to describe the problems caused by lack of computers
B．to explain why students are in great need of computers
C．to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers
D．to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers
69．From the passage we can infer that______
A．present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students
B．computers in the college will be updated to meet the student’s demands soon
C．the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future
D．it is also necessary to expand the college bookstore by using part of the donation
70．In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that_______
A．computers are beneficial to students’ academic success
B．computers are helpful to student’s competition for success
C．students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers
D．students wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers
71．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP: Central Point     P: Point    SP: Sub-point（次要點(diǎn)）    C: Conclusion

Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t

he spirit of generosity is  instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of

a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.

A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i

n the MileHigh City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows p

oor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as

waitersandwaitresses,anddishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment

for the cafe.It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owne

r Brad Birky, who started the caféin 2006. Previously volunteering at soup kitc

hens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served t

here. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where every-one felt co

mfortable,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunc

h menu changs daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farm

ers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And

the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 

2007,one volunteer who hadcleared snow for his meals during the long winter sai

d goodbye to the Birkys.He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hu

rricane clearing up,” says Birky. 

1.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?

A．They refused to have volunteers.

B．They offered low quality food.

C．They provided customers with a good environment.

D．They closed down because of poor management.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.

B．More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.

C．Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.

D．The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.

3.The author’s attitude towards running such a café is_______

A．unfavorable

B．doubtful

C．cautious

D．a(chǎn)pproving
