Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute（分發(fā)）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（童話）.

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 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 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 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.

1.The Braunschweiger Zeitung is name of _____.

A. a church       B. a bank  　　　C. a magazine      D. a newspaper

2.Which of the following is TURE about the donation to Tom?

A. The donation amounted to ?190,000.

B. The donation was sent directly to his house.

C. His mother felt greatly surprised at the donation.

D. All the money will be used for his treatment.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that      .

A. the donation will continue to come      

B. the donator is a rich old man

C. the donation comes from the newspaper

D. the donator will soon be found out

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper.

B. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes.

C. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.

D. Robin Hood Returns to the city.
