Pennies (硬幣，零錢) are worth saving. If you find a penny,pick it up, (1) some day you could have a million pennies,like students at a primary school in Logan,Utah！
Eight years ago,a student in Dave Jorgensen's fifthgrade (2) class asked, "What does a million look (3) ？"
"Let's (4) it out," he answered,and suggested a penny collection.
Some students emptied (5) piggy banks;some (6) their pocket money,and some hand in their surplus (剩余的) lunch money. And as the shiny copper pile grew,the cents helped them make sense of math. They learned a million pennies weighed (7) than three tons,would pile up over a mile (8) and stretch (伸展) three (9) long,and that they'd need a container capable (能夠) of holding a cubic (立方) yard to hold them.
"Wow!" the students shouted (10) surprise. Does the lowly penny really add up? While not everyone even (11) up a lowly penny,organizations like McDonald's and UNICEF(聯(lián)合國兒童基金會) know its value (價值) .They use penny harvests to raise money for (12) from college scholarships (獎學(xué)金) to housing for the homeless.
Last June the students collected the millionth penny. They plan to put a million pennies towards (13) a school in a thirdworld country. "It started as a math (14) ，" says the headmaster, "and (15) as a lesson in charity."

Should calligraphy (書法) be taught at school?
Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers,still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning. Chinese need to carry on with it. What's more,calligraphy is fine art,more than writing. Written Chinese is well known for its beauty. For example,every stroke (筆畫) of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of selfcultivation ( 陶冶自我) .It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon?
( ) 1. Our time is called an information age.
( ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture.
( ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing.
( ) 4. Only foreigners enjoy the beauty of calligraphy.
( ) 5. The writer thinks that calligraphy should be taught at school.
