first race at age 13. after high school, he went to ohio state university. he had to work part time so as to pay for his education. as a second-year student, in the big ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the olympic games a year later.a week before the big ten meet, owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. his back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. he refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. he did try, and the results are in the record book.the stage was set for owens victory at the olympic games in berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. hitler did not congratulate any of the african-american winners.“it was all right with me,” he said years later. “i didnt go to berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”having returned from berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. in fact, he was not honored by the united states until 1976, four years before his death.owens olympic victories made little difference to him. he earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “but at least it was an

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 want to provide them with a good education,” says jacobs.the jacobs family did work out a solution: they asked and received more aid form 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 least they will be able to finish school. with unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the jacobs. more students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. college administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. at the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. a report from the national center 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 the last decade, “if we go on this way for another 25years, 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 huge amount of debt.” financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. the good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.66. according to paragraph 1, why did the plan of jacobs family fail?a. the twins wasted too much money.b. the father was out of work.c. their saving ran out.d. the family fell apart.67. how did the jacobs manage to solve their problem?a. they asked their kids to come home.b. they borrowed $20,000 from the school.c. they encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.d. they got help from the school and the federal government.68. financial aid administrators believe that _.a. more families will face the same problem as the jacobsesb. the government will receive more letters of complaintc. college tuition fees will double soond. americas unemployment will fall69.what can we learn about the middle class families from the text?a. they blamed the government for the tuition increase.b. their income remained steady in the last decade.c. they will try their best to send kids to college.d. their debts will be paid off within 25 years.70.according to the last paragraph, the government will .a. provide most students will scholarshipsb. dismiss some financial aid administratorsc. stop the companies from making student loansd. go on providing financial support for college students【文章大意】这是一篇关于学费贷款的文章。66.答案b。根据文章第一段的her husband lost his job可以得出，双胞胎儿子好上学交学费，丈夫事业，家庭陷入困境。停止，两者是对立关系。bat one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. but for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.it is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “i feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down.” says ted smith of the earth village organization. perhaps best sign of how computer and internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. several internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. earlier this week, hewlett-packard co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an on-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. as the company sees it, the more use of the internet the greater demand for printers. does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “i guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling,” said kelly quirke, director of the rainforest action network in san francisco. yet quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. he says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. the action group has also found
