In April 1998.he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to
25、 some serious thinking about lifes purpose.Not long after the surgery,Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library,a program started by Dolly Partons foundation(基金会)that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers home town of Sevier,Tennessee. I thought,maybe Li
26、nda and I could do something like this when we retire ,Tim recalls,He placed the brochure on his desk ,“as a reminder.”Five years later,now retired and with that brochure still on the desk ,Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary com.The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of b
27、ookand postage discounts.The qualityof the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they want to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didnt want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books - reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board me
28、mbers- included classics such as Ezra Jack Keatss The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.

33、 her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home.but at the same time I w
34、ant to provide them with a good education.” says Jacobs. The Jacobs family did work out a solution :They asked and received more aid from the schools,and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan(贷款）program. They will each graduate with 20,000 of debt ,but at le
35、ast they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising ,financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for aid ,and more families except to need student loans.College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough ai
36、d money to go around.At the same time , tuition(学费)continues to rise . A report from the NationalCenter for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in
37、the last decade.If we go on this way for another 25 years , we wont have an affordable system of higher education. says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center . The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes,even if that means a hu
38、ge amount of debt.Financial aid administrators have been having a hardtime as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them.

39、that money will flow uninterrupted.66. According to Paragraph I, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A. The father was out of work.B. The twins wasted too much money.C. Their savings ran out.D. The family fell apart.67. How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their ki
40、ds to come home.B. They borrowed 20,000 from the schools.C. They got help from the schools and the federal government.D. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.68.

42、me remained steady in the last decade.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.70.

43、companies from making student loansDSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers. Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the F
44、ederal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair by a persons thoughts. “Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can
45、 prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles .” Tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮)and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scient
