She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically 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 because a campus icon（偶像）and she easily made friends wherever she went .She loved to dress up and she reveled（陶醉）in the attention bestowed（赠给）upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

“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 study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily lives.

23、C

lt's a dog's life for the nation's mutts - who are becoming anxious and aggressive through lack of play， experts fear．

A study of 4，000 dog owners has found a clear link between limited playtime and behaviour problems， such as being nervous when left alone， disobedience and snapping at other animals． And while researchers can't be sure that playing less is directly to blame， they say that games provide vital intellectual stimulation and exercise． The Bristol University study showed that only one in five owners play with their dogs six times a day．  Half play two or three times a day and 10 per cent have just one play session．

Mark Evans， former chief vet for the RSPCA， said that dogs are one of the few animals to play into adulthood．  He told the Sunday Times： 'There is a clear association in the results．  Owners report more potential behaviour problems in dogs that play less．'

Emily Blackwell -- who conducted the research uncovered tonight on Channel 4's Dogs： Their Secret Lives - said dogs often enjoy playing so much that they slow down or change strategy to make the fun last longer． The lecturer in canine（犬科动物） welfare hopes that 10，000 people will eventually fill out the survey． This will enable her to firmly establish whether lack of play is affecting dogs' moods - or if their emotional problems put their owners off spending time with them．  For instance，they may slow down when playing 'chase'， allowing their owner to catch up with them and the game to continue． Favourite games include wrestling， chase and tugging at toys， and perhaps unsurprisingly，'fetch' topped the list． Tennis balls were the favourite toys， followed by soft， squeaky toys， rubber balls and rope toys．

The research comes just days after an animal charity warned that millions of dogs are becoming fat． aggressive and destructive because their owners are clueless about basic animal care．The PDSA said that treats including beer， chips and leftover takeaways are making dogs fat and unwell – and wamed that almost a million are never taken for a walk．

【1】If the dogs are not looked after carefully，   ．

A．they may become rebelling and damaging

B．they may get hurt and run away from home

C．they may become less active and dislike playing with the owners

D．they are more likely to fight with other animals

【2】What is Emily Blackwell's opinion on dogs' behavior？

A．If the owners spend less time with their dogs， they may become aggressive．

B．Dogs know how to make their playing time last longer．

C．Only a few owners spend enough time playing with their dogs．

D．Some junk food or leftover may cause obesity on dogs．

【3】The underlined word "this" in the fourth paragraph probably refers to   ．

A．canine welfare

B．Channel 4's Dogs：Their Secret Lives

C．the survey

D．favourite games

【4】What can we learn from the passage？

A．Researchers confirm that playing less is to blame for dogs' bad behaviours．

B．Most of the owners will play with their dogs many times in a day．

C．Chase and tennis balls are the favourites of dogs．

D．It's obvious that dogs' behaviour problems are related with their playing time．

24、   Since I graduated from high school, I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transition (转变) between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is a torture.

There’re few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.

The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing (裁员) and overseas relocation always seemed distant to me until my co-worker told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.

After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy rewrites seem too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (out of date) now ring true.

These lessons I’m learning, however valuable, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “The job pays well, but it is very hard,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.

My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

【1】The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 1 most probably means__________.

A.Misery B.Fortune C.Anxiety D.Acceptance

【2】What does the author say about college students?

A.They expect too much from the real world.

B.They think too highly of themselves.

C.They have little interest in blue-collar life.

D.They are confident of their future.

【3】What, according to the author, is the most frustrating for blue-collar workers?

A.They do not get good pay.

B.They have to work 12-hour shifts.

C.They do not have job security.

D.They have to move from place to place.

【4】In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him?

A.He learned to be more practical.

B.He came to respect blue-collar workers.

C.He acquired a sense of urgency.

D.He came to appreciate his college education.

25、I don't know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the_________at a young age. Sometime in the middle of the fourth grade, I stopped trying. By the time I was in the seventh grade, I was lazy, difficult, and_________.

It wasn't long before I dropped out of school. Hard physical labor was the _________for the choices I made as an adolescent. Until well into adulthood, I was still_________in a dead-end job carrying heavy construction materials up a ladder all day._________, now I believe in do-overs. And I believe that do-overs can be made at any_________in your life, if you have the right _________. Mine came from a surprising source.

It was September 21,2002,when my son Blake was born. It's the moment I grew into the_________of Dad that I began to learn something about myself._________, Blake and I were both learning to walk, talk, work and play for the first time. I began my do-over.

It took me almost three years to learn how to read. I started with my son's books. Over and over, I practised reading books to him until I remembered all those words. I began to wonder if it was possible for me to go back to school. I knew I wanted to be a good role __________, so after a year-and-a-half and a lot of hard work, I __________my GED test on my son's fourth birthday. This may not sound like much, and I'm surely not trying to get __________for doing something that should have been done in the first place, but it was really one of the best days in my life. Today, I'm a full-time college student,____________to become sociologist.

It’s funny. While growing up I always heard these great __________stories of triumph (胜利) over shortcomings, but I never thought they__________to me. Now I believe it's a choice anyone can make: to do it all over again.
