Old Man Used His Own Money to Send 33 Strangers to College
A retired carpenter（退休的木匠）from Des Moines has helped send 33 kids to college since his death in 2005.
Dale Schroeder was a simple, honest man. He grew up poor and worked as a carpenter for the same company for 67 years.
“Went to work every day. Worked really hard. Was frugal（节俭的）,” said Schroeder’s good friend Steve Nielsen. “He had church jeans and work jeans.”
No one thought that he had saved up a large number of money.
Schroeder never married and had no children, so before he died, he went to his lawyer with a plan for his money. “He said, ‘I never got the chance to go to college. So, I’d like to help kids go to college’,” Nielsen told CBS News.
“Finally, I was curious（好奇的）and I said, ‘How much are we talking about, Dale?’ And he said, ‘Oh, just shy of $3 million’. I nearly fell out of my chair,” Nielsen recalled.
Schroeder left special instructions for his money: send kids to college.
“He wanted to help kids that were like him, and that probably would not have had a chance to go to college without his gift,” Nielsen said.
Schroeder ended up paying for 33 strangers’ college money.
The persons, who have named themselves “Dale’s kids”, got together earlier this month to honor the great man who changed their lives. They’re now doctors, teachers…

The world’s highest highway tunnel（公路隧道）, Mila Mountain Tunnel, was open to traffic on April 26, 2019, at an altitude（海拔）of over 4,750 meters above sea level in Southwest China’s Tibet.
The two-way tunnel is over 5.7 km long, which is a part of the 400-km highway connecting Lhasa with Nyingchi. People started building the tunnel on the 5,018-meter-high Mila Mountain in 2015. And it was finished in 2019, helping shorten the 18-km distance（距离）over the mountain to 5.7 km.
It wasn’t easy to build the highest tunnel in China. Terribly cold weather and too little oxygen（氧气）were two main difficulties. Besides, carrying everything to the building site（工地）was a great challenge for over 2,000 workers.
However, everyone at the site worked hard to finish building the tunnel on time and more than 10 latest techniques were developed while the workers were doing this great project. “We’ve worked here for several years and lived in simple houses,” said Xu Yong, the leader of the project. “Everything was so difficult, but we never feel sorry for ourselves here. It is a great project.”
The highway is an important way to the eastern part of Tibet. It can help to make more people visit Tibet and bring traffic convenience to local people.

A. About three years. B. About four years.
C. About five years. D. About six years.
27. What CANNOT we know from the second paragraph?
A. How long the tunnel is. B. Where the tunnel is built.
C. How high the Mila Mountain is. D. What materials were used to build the tunnel.
28. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Why people wanted to build the tunnel.
B. How many workers worked in the construction（建设）of the tunnel.
C. What problems the workers faced when building the tunnel.
D. How the workers solved the problems of building the tunnel.
29. What can we infer from Xu Yong’s words?
A. It’s worth putting much time and work into building the tunnel.
B. It took them many years to get used to living there.
C. They earned a lot of money by building the tunnel.
D. Their living and working conditions were not very bad.
30. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To show the development of Tibet.
B. To encourage more people to travel to Tibet.
C. To introduce the altitude of the highway tunnel.
D. To tell something about the world’s highest highway tunnel.
