The first day of school our professor introduced 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, handsome man. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old．Can I 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, and have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”

“No seriously,’ I asked．I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having college education and how I’m getting one!” she told me.

Over the course of the school year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled（尽情享受）in the attention bestowed（给予）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. She leaned into the microphone and simply said, “we do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to 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. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability.”

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At 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. What qualities did Rose have according to the passage?

     A．Humourous and determined

     B．Critical and humourous

     C．Hard-working but indifferent

     D．Pretty but old

2. Why was Rose in college at such an age?

     A．To find a rich husband at such an age.

     B．To realize her dream of having college education.

     C．To further her education for a better job．

     D．To make more young friends.

3. Rose once made a great speech.

     A．at the graduation ceremony.

     B．at a football banquet

     C．at an annual meeting

     D．at a baseball banquet

4. From what Rose said, we learn that

     A．everyone will end up growing older.

     B．we can’t stay young successfully.

     C．we can achieve much if we want to.

     D．dream is the key to success.
