【題目】 On 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. "Hi, girl! My name is Rose, and I'm 87 years old."

"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked jokingly.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she replied.

Rose became a college symbol this year and she easily made friends with other students.

At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football party. 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 of staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour 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 anything, you will turn 20 years older. 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.

She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year's end,Rose finished the college education she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

【1】Why did Rose go to college? Because she _____________.

Just before dinner， a telegram arrived． It said，"Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall．"

"It's serious， my friend， and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer．" "His name，" said the driver， "was Sherlock Holmes．"

I'd never seen Holmes more surprised． Then he laughed． "He scored against me that time， Watson．"

Being thankful to our parents is not easy but important for everyone. When I was a child, I didn't quite understand it. My mother was a middle-aged woman. She a【1】showed all her love and care to me. But I thought it was common, and of course, she was supposed to do e【2】for me.

Now things have changed a lot since Mr. Huang, the most i【3】English teacher I have ever seen, came into my life. He was very humorous. He not only asked me to stand on the position of my mom but also encouraged me to help my mom as p【4】as I could. From then on, I gradually u【5】what my mom had done for me. Whenever I got into trouble, my mom was always the f【6】one to encourage me. As long as she supported me, there were no d【7】for me.

L【8】, a beautiful hand-made card was given to my mom as her 39th birthday gift. I wrote down some words I really wanted to say to her.

"Mom, I wish I could find a better word rather than thanks to s【9】my feelings. I am deeply moved by the things you've done for me and never give you my thanks enough."

As time goes by, my mom is getting older, but her love without a【10】for even a single return will never change. Therefore, I should value every minute I spend together with my mom, knowing that it is never too late to express my thanks to her.
