argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother
will push the conversation into World War ?.She"ll talk about m
y lack of a bright future because I don"t plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don"t want to do
any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major
(主修) in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can"t you be like my coworker"s son?" she bemoans all the time.Her coworker"s
son received a fouryear scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.
I don"t know what to answer except that I simply can"t be like Mr Perfect as I"ve called the
unnamed coworker"s son.I can"t be like him.I"m the type of person who loves to help out in
the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career
because I love it,not because of fame (名声) or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I"ve seen my mother
struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around
6﹕30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.However,I want her to
know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn"t mean I"ll be successful.I"d rather follow my
dreams and create my own future.

was all right,and he found there was a mobile phone inthe quilt.The doctor looked at the

| All over my garden I"ve planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower. A close friend came for a visit the other day. I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away. That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn"t pick a single rose. I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn"t make a living out of them. Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no! To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so ironhearted as to destroy such a charming smile? My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people. | |||

| A. Because the roses were not beautiful. B. Because she loved the roses very much. C. Because she did not like this kind of roses. D. Because the writer did not want to give her any. | |||

| The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn"t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically(热情地)responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!" "No seriously," I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!" she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester 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. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!" she said. "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don"t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men," she added. "The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.Have no regrets. The elderly usually don"t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets." She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Song of Rose.She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily lives. At the year"s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. | |||
| 1．Rose made herself known to the author in a________ manner. | |||
| A．serious B．cold C．humorous D．crazy | |||
| 2．From the information provided in the passage, we know ________. | |||
| A．Rose finished the college degree within a year B．Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education C．Rose enjoyed her campus life very much D．Rose grew so old that she stopped playing | |||
| 3．Rose delivered the speech________. | |||
| A．at the graduation B．which she prepared carefully C．ended with The Song of Rose D．to challenge all the other speakers | |||
| 4．According to her speech, ________. | |||
| A．even you have a dream, you won"t succeed B．all people don"t grow up while growing older C．Rose usually regretted having done something D．a nineyearold is as old as an 87yearold if he doesn"t do anything | |||
