It was the first day of school. I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile.
She said, “ Hi, young man! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(擁抱)?”
I said       , “ Of course!”
“Why are you in college at       an age?” I asked.
She joked, “ I’m here to meet a      husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.”
“No, seriously,” I asked.
“ I always       of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me .
After a year, Rose became popular. She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from     .
At the end of the semester(學(xué)期) we invited Rose to       at our party. I’ll never foget what she
taught       .
“We do not stop playing becasuse we are old; we grow       because we stop playing. Here are the     of staying young. You have to laugh and find humour every_______. You’ve got to have a dream. When you        your dreams, you die!”she said.
“There is a big         between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But to       , you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets(遺憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did,      rather for things we did not do.”
Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One week       graduation(畢業(yè)), she died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

Many years ago，when I was working as a volunteer(志愿者)at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a bloodtransfusion(輸血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗體)to fight the illness.
The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing(愿意的)to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(遲疑)for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa.”
As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He 1ooked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister’s face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He 1ooked up at the doctor and asked, “Will I start to die now?”

The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.
The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.
This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!
The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, ‘How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan(阿富汗).’
Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation(觀察).
Observation One
Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.
Observation Two
Watson's face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country.
Observation Three
At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.
小題1:The writer most probably created the character, Dr Watson, to ______.
A．give Holmes help when solving mysteries
B．show Holmes' careful observation
C．help readers pick up some clues about the mystery
D．get readers to see the mystery step by step
小題2: The first time they meet, ______.
A．Holmes explains how he knows Watson has been to Afghanistan
B．Holmes surprises Watson by telling that he has been to Afghanistan
C．Watson tells Holmes he has been to Afghanistan
D．Watson asks Holmes how he knows he has been to Afghanistan
小題3:From the passage we know that the British army ______ at that time.
A．only had soldiers in Afghanistan
B．had many army doctors at bases in many parts of the world
C．was fighting with several countries
D．was fighting with Afghanistan

Would you completely trust your friends if you couldn’t see anything? If you are falling, do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up? Our teacher helped us to find the answer.
Our teacher is named Morrie. One day, he said that he had a game for us to try. He divided us into two groups. One of the students from the first group, stands in front of us with his eyes closed, and then falls backwards(向后). The second group stand behind him. Before he falls on the floor, they should catch him and not let him get hurt. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We were afraid that they wouldn’t catch us and we would hit the floor. So we didn’t move. We just stood there and laughed in embarrassment(尷尬).
Finally, one student, thin, quiet, dark-haired girl called Sarah, decided to move. She crossed her arms in front of her body, closed her eyes, and slowly fell backwards. She looked quiet but brave.
For a moment, I was sure she was going to fall on the floor. But before she hit the floor, the other students caught her, held her and finally helped her stand up.
“Whoa!!” we were all surprised, and also encouraged. The girl was happy, too. Seeing this, Morrie smiled and said to the girl, “When you close your eyes, you can’t see anything. You won’t feel safe. When you are falling, the feeling gets stronger. You are not sure whether you will hit the cold, hard floor or the warm, soft hands of your friends. But if you are brave enough to trust them, they won’t let you down.”
小題1:According to the passage, we can know Morrie is ___________.
A．a(chǎn) studentB．a(chǎn) teacherC．a(chǎn) managerD．a(chǎn) farmer
