On the first day of school we were challenged to get to know a new classmate. I was looking around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lady with a warm smile.
She said, “Hi, handsome! I"m Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(拥抱)?” I laughed and heartily responded, “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent(天真的)age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied,“I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”
“No, seriously,” I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!” She told me. We became instant friends.
Over the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像)and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have many people walking around who are dead, and they don"t even know it!” she said.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn"t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. The elderly usually don"t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”
One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it"s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
56.Rose started college at the age of 87 in order to .
A.marry a rich man B.travel around the world

A.there"s no sense in living without your aim
B.you can"t sleep well every night
C.you are too old and have to stop playing
D.something is terribly wrong with your brain

A.Meet the Challenge B.Never Waste Time
C.Grow Up or Grow Old? D.Have You Got Ready?

举一反三
“You must be mad!” said my friends. “Giving up your job now, when there isn"t much chance of finding another one, ever!”
But I had already come to my lonely decision. To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers(镇定剂) to help me along.
It hadn"t always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed quite well.
I, in common with most other teachers, am rather selfcritical, and I knew now I was no longer “managing”.My classes were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague(含糊的) “Hello, Miss”, and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
Was it all my own failure? In fairness to myself, I don"t think it was. I had plenty of ideas, I loved my subject, and I liked children.
I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children, overstimulated(刺激)by videowatching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were given the wrong food at the wrong time, who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way; who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting (漂) to all floors.
I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible, but I had failed, and no longer had the stomach for the job.
64.The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that .
A.teaching children wasn"t challenging
B.she took no pride in her work
C.teaching had become too much for her
D.she disliked the new teaching method
65.“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means“ ”.
A.I"d very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway
B.when I came to the doorway, the class would immediately quiet down
C.all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway
D.my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class
66.The following are all reasons that children couldn"t concentrate in class EXCEPT .
A.they were tired out because they went to bed too late
B.they were burdened with too much homework
C.they were not properly fed by their parents
D.they were over excited by videowatching the night before
67.We can infer from the passage that the writer .
A.had no love for children at all
B.never truly enjoyed teaching
C.found it difficult to give up her job
D.felt extremely nervous about each coming day

Madame Curie ,the youngest of five children ,was born in Warsaw ,Poland in 1867. Marie Curie"s maiden name was Manya. Her parents were teachers,and she learned the importance of education at an early age. No higher education was offered to women in Poland at that time,so Manya took a job as a governess(女家庭教师).

One evening, at a big party,a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece,who was also a guest.She answered in her simple manner, “I don"t see the value of it.” Then,seeing that she had hurt the feelings of her friend, she quickly added, “But …but…of course,I shall do whatever you please. Just as you please.”

II. 完形填空
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
The purpose of a letter of application (求职) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state 16 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 17 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 18 out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 19 that things a possible employer is most 20 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 21 the first few sentences fail to 22 the reader"s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 23 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not 24 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your 25 in today"s newspaper". You might say "I have made a careful 26 of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 27 your product and why they like it".
Try to 28 generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 29 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I 30 in a letter? Employers want experience---which, naturally, no 31 has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is 32 .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 33 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 34 is to enclose (内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 35 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
16. A. clearly B. carefully C. obviously D. easily
17. A. found B. done C. known D. heard
18. A. sending B. taking C. leaving D. picking
19. A. brain B. sight C. order D. mind
20. A. probable B. possible C. likely D. able
21. A. While B. Although C. As D. If
22. A. pay B. win C. show D. fix
23. A. kept B. continued C. written D. read
24. A. to B. for C. into D. from
25. A. advertisement B. report C. article D. introduction
26. A. watch B. search C. study D. discussion
27. A. change B. make C. sell D. use
28. A. avoid B. remember C. protect D. gain
29. A. losing B. applying C. preparing D. fitting
30. A. offer B. supply C. mean D. provide
31 .A. worker B. beginner C. owner D. manager
