(2011·山东卷·b)tim richter and his wife，linda，had taught for over 30 years near buffalo，new york—he in computers，she in special education．“teaching means everything to us，” tim would say．in april 1998，he learned he would need a heart operation．it was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose．
not long after the surgery，tim saw a brochure describing imagination library，a program started by dolly parton’s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s hometown of sevier，tennessee．“i thought，maybe linda 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 imagination library．com．the program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts．
