On the first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out, we found an old woman 16 at the door. She said, “Hi, my name is Susan, I’m seventy years old.” While we were  17 what made her take this challenge (挑战) at her age, she said with a smile, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get  18 , have two children and travel together.” Hearing this, all of us laughed. “In fact,” she went on, “I always    19 of having a college education, and now I’m getting  20 !”
After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good  21 . I often listened to this “time machine” as she shared her study with me.
At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a  22 . When she was stepped up to the front, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated（沮丧的） and said, “I'm sorry. I’m so nervous that I can’t get my ready talk    23 , so I have to tell you  24 I know .”
In her speech she told us, “We don’t stop playing as we are old, we grow old because we stop playing. The secret of staying  25 , being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something  26 every day. I think there is a great  27 between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I  28 in bed for one full year and never do anything. I’ll become seventy – one. Since anybody can grow older, my idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can’t be avoided(避免的), growing up can be  29 . It’s never too late to be all you can be possible.”
During the four years’ study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends  30 she went. In the end, the wonderful woman got a college degree.

Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation (开采) of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there're many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the appearance of many more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future. Oil is getting less and less year after year. It's said that oil can last for only 50years. Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years.

     Oil can be used in many ways and it's difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil. But oil isn't easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they, think the reeks in a certain place may .have oil, a metal tower is built. A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe(钢管) is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the pipe with .great force(力量) by the pressure(压力) of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps(活塞).

      If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas, Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away arid used in houses and factories like coal gas.

      Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In                                                   

many countries, the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.
