It was the first day of school. I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile.
She said, “ Hi, young man! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(拥抱)?”
I said , “ Of course!”
“Why are you in college at an age?” I asked.
She joked, “ I’m here to meet a husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.”
“No, seriously,” I asked.
“ I always of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me .
After a year, Rose became popular. She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from .
At the end of the semester(学期) we invited Rose to at our party. I’ll never forget what she
taught .
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow because we stop playing. Here are the of staying young. You have to laugh and find humour every______. You’ve got to have a dream. When you your dreams, you die!”she said.
“There is a big between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But to , you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did, rather for things we did not do.”
Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One week graduation(毕业), she died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t 36 them. They often think their parents are too strict with them, and they are never given a 37 hand.
Parents often find 38 difficult to win their children’s trust and they seem to forget how they themselves 39 when they were young. For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 40 that they grow up and they can do with any difficult things. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success 41 you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they want, the music they enjoy and something else. But they don’t 42 to cause any trouble. They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old people’s world and they want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents don’t like their music or their clothes or their manner of speech, the young people feel very 43 .Sometimes you even don’t want your parents to say “ 44 ” to what you do. You want to stay at home alone and do what you like.
If you plan to control your 45 , you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself”
When I was a young boy, I was 36 shy to like talking to anyone. My classmates often 37 me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 38 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English contest. My mother encouraged me to 39 it.. What a terrible idea I thought! It meant I had to speak 40 all the teachers and students of my school!
“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 41 ”Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I 42 the topic “Believe in yourself”. I did the best to remember the whole speech and practiced it over 100 43 .With my mother ’s love, I did 44 in the contest. I could hardly believe my 45 when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers(赞美) 46 the teachers and students. Those classmates 47 once looked down on (瞧不起) me, now all said “Congratulations” 48 me. My mother hugged me tightly for a while and gave me a kiss on my forehead.
49 then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell 50 to be confident and I will find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
