It was the first day of school. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed, enthusiastically responding, “Of course!” And she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
“I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then retire and travel.”
“No seriously.”
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”
We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she took great delight in the attention given to her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet (宴会) and I’ll never forget what she taught us.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simply said, “I’m sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began: “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 humor every day. You have got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! 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 one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. Anyone can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral(葬礼) to honor the wonderful woman.
1.While meeting Rose at the college for the first time, the author was curious about

3.In Rose’s opinion, one can learn to grow up by __________.
A. getting new ideas
B. regretting his mistakes
C. gaining new knowledge every day
D. finding chances to do productive things
4.What else did Rose most probably say at the football banquet?
A. “It seems my young days are over.”
B. “The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
C. “When we are old, we can’t do anything. So enjoy in time!”
D. “Have a good time and don’t do much in order to stay young.”

It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL (English as a Second Language) classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Korea. Because Tara looked Korean, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Korea. Tara replied, "No, I'm not." Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Japan, or Thailand, or China. To each question, Tara answered them a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, "She's not from anywhere!" The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Korean.
The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory(介绍的)questions of each other. A student in Tara's group asked her, "Where are you from?" Tara answered that she was from Korea. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara's answer.
"Aha!" they both exclaimed, "You ARE from Korea!" Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized(道歉)to both of them for lying the day before. She told them that she had not wanted to get into a Korean conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their mother language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Korean. In her opinion， ESL students should try to speak English only.
"I agree." said Rose.
"You're 100 percent right." agreed Jenny, "Rose and I must stop speaking Korean to each other. Right，Rose?" Rose nodded，and then said something in Korean. All three women laughed.
The next half a year, Tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of Korean to them during class or break.
1.The underlined word "exclaimed" in Paragraph 3 means " ".
A. announced with excitement B. shouted in surprise
C. screamed with joy D. cried in fear
2.From the passage, we can infer(推断)that .
A. Tara said she was from Korea because she knew the student in her group was also from Korea
B. Tara said she was from Korea because she wanted to make friends with the student in her group
C. Tara said she wasn't from Korea because she didn't want Rose and Jenny to speak Korean with her the following days
D. Tara said she wasn't from Korea because she didn't like Rose and Jenny and wasn't willing to speak Korean with them
3. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. Don't Tell Lies B. An ESL Class
