On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”
“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.” I knew she was joking. I was curious (好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom (智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old； we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor 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. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change...”When the author and Rose first met, they began their conversation in a ________ way.
| A．terrible | B．impolite | C．serious | D．humorous |

Nowadays film cameras are going out of our life. Do you remember how it works? And do you know the difference between a film camera and a digital camera?
A film camera is a light-proof box, which all light can’t go through. It has a lens (镜头) system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera.
Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter (快门). In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to take a picture. When you press the button, the shutter opens for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的) picture on the film. When you finish the roll (卷) of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture!
Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way. In digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (传感器) called a CCD. This change light and color into a digital information or pixels (象素). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part - depending on how good it is.
