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.”

I’m glad it’s Sunday again. I can stay in bed 36 I like, drinking tea and 37 those thick newspapers that are brought 38 the newsboy through the letterbox at 8:30. In this way, I can catch up with all the 39 I haven’t got time to read during my work time.
When I 40 the papers, I then prepare my bath. The Sunday morning bath is 41 of the week. There’s no need to hurry because there’s no bus to 42 and my friends are told not to call me up before noon on Sundays, so there is no danger of 43 by the telephone.
44 spend the afternoon after lunch is always a bit of problem. In summer I can go to the park and sit in a chair 45 boys playing football, while in winter I sit in front of the fire and 46 when reading a book, sometimes I turn on the television and sleep through an old film.
Then there’s the 47 ahead of me. Perhaps I’ll call on some friends or go to the cinema 48 a new film I want to see or to town for a concert. Oh, there are 49 pleasant ways of passing Sunday evenings. The only sad thing is that Monday morning is getting 50 .
