21、us. That is Rose, an eighty-seven-year-old lady who always wore a big smile on her face.“Why are you in college at this age?” I asked. 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 Im getting one!” she tol

22、d me.Over the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed being the center of attention 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 was introdu

23、ced and stepped up to the stage.As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her speech cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the speaker and simply said, “Im sorry Im a bit nervous. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!”As we laughed R

24、ose cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop laughing 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 humor every day. Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you

25、die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and dont even know it!Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didnt do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.Finally, there is a huge difference between growing old and g

26、rowing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and dont do one productive thing, you will turn twenty. This is growing old, by doing nothing to your life. The idea of growing up is to always find opportunity to change.”At the years end Rose finished the college degree she

27、had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful advice to your friends and family:Remember, we cannot avoid growing old, but we can choose our

28、own ways to grow up.26. Why was Rose in college?A. Because she always wanted to have a college degree.B. Because she thought college was fun and she could make many friends.C.

33、called us when we first married.I guess Don and I deserved it. Money was tight. Sometimes wed have to save up days just for an ice cream cone. Still, our tiny apartment seemed like paradise. Love does that, you know.The more we heard the term “lovebirds”, the more we thought about birds. One day we

34、started saving up for a couple of lovebirds of our own. We knew we couldnt afford to buy both birds and a nice cage, so in his spare moments, Don made the cage himself.We put our cage in front of a shaded window. Then we waited until our little saving was full of bills and spare change. With that mo

35、ney we “adopted” a pair of canaries from our local pet store, a male and a female, and named them Sunshine and Snowball.Time passed, and when our young lovebirds finally seemed mature enough to start a family of their own, we went ahead and prepared a nest area and lots of nesting material for them.

36、 Snowball was a very exacting wife in designing and decorating their nest just so, while Sunshine, filled with love, bent over backward to put everything just where she ordered.Then one day an egg appeared. How they sang! And a few weeks later when a tiny chick hatched, their happiness seemed to kno

37、w no bounds. I dont know how it happened, but that baby bird was bright orange. So right off we named him Punkinhead.The sunny days passed. How proud all of us were when our baby bird ran out of the nest onto a real grown-up perch!Then one day, Punkinhead suddenly fell head down to the bottom of the

38、 cage. The tiny orange bird just lay there, both parents and I rushed to his rescue.But he was dead. Just like that. Whether hed had a heart attack before he fell or broke his neck in the fall, Ill never know. But Punkinhead was gone.The mother bird refused to let either Sunshine or me get near that

39、 little body. Instead of the joyful melodies I usually heard from Snowball, now she gave only the most heartbreaking cries and moans. Her heart, joy and will seemed completely melted by her sorrow.Poor Sunshine didnt know what to do. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation, but s

40、he refused to move. Instead, over and over she kept trying to wake up her beloved child.Finally Sunshine seemed to work out a plan. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place. Then each time she left, hed quietly place one piece of straw over Punki

41、nheads body. Just one. But in a few days, piece by piece, it was completely covered over.At first Snowball seemed panic when she looked around, but she didnt try to uncover the chick. Instead, she flew up to her normal place and stayed there. Then I was able to quietly reach in and remove the little

42、 body.After that, Sunshine spent all his time comforting Snowball. Eventually she started making normal sounds, and then one day, her sorrow finally melted and she sang again. I dont know if Snowball ever realized the quiet labor of love and healing Sunshine had done for her. But they remained devot

43、ed for as long as they both lived. Love does that, you know.31.The title of the passage is “When Snowball Melted”. What does the title mean?A. The increasing temperature made the snowball melt.B.

44、n by the bird called Snowball for the death of her kid was dissolved by her husbands love.D. The bird called Snowball was loved by her husband so it seemed like a snowball was melted.32.

Yes, according to Christians, it was Adams apple that first changed humankind the act of man disobeying to

50、 higher power that sets us apart by God. Adams story teaches us the importance of submission.We are becoming more self-sustained and forget the cores of life love, joy and peace. Families, friends and our beloved ones are often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs and responsibilities.

51、 We need to be reminded to love and be loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.The second most influential apple didnt come until the 15th Century. A man sat under the famous apple tree and the universe-consigned apple fell right on his head, leading him to th

52、e famous law of universal gravitation.Sir Isaac Newtons apple changed the world of science as well as mathematics by stating that “every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects.” and so on.The point here is, Newtons apple

53、 has not only inspired him to come up with the law of gravitation, but also encouraged human to dream big and to explore the world with imaginations. Many other great people arose from Newtons great works and findings.Last but bot least, it is of course Steve Jobs Apple that has put the world on a d

54、ifferent pace, in terms of his innovations in consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers.Jobs success stories took up each corner of Googles page after he passed away. The highlight is none other than his return to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997. When he

55、tried to lure John Sculley as Apples CEO, he asked,”Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world?”That obviously worked out pretty well. Yet, it was the passion towards innovation that Jobs has injected into his career that put him onto the top

56、of the world.
