On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and asked us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. “Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”
“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”she replied. Rose became a college symbol(象征) this year and she easily on her from the other students.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old, we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose you dreams, you die!” she said.
“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 anything, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.
She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live then out in our daily lives.
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college education she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose did peacefully in her sleep.
61. Rose went to college because she_________.
A. wanted to live longer B. loved to stay with the young
C. wanted to realize her dream D. planned to enjoy her life there

63. Which of the following is included in Rose’s speech?
A. People won’t grow old if they stop playing.
B. The more you laugh, the younger you will be.
C. People easily become old if they do more things.
D. Time is especially important for young people.
64. At the end of her speech, Rose asked each of her classmates _______.
A. to sing along with her B. to sing one’s own song
C. to recite the lyrics D. to do as the lyrics said

The summer sun is out, and we're beginning to feel the heat. Before you go outside to have fun, make sure you put on the right things!
Do you know what kind of clothes can make you look hot and keep you cool? Here are some ideas for clothes to help you look great.
Fun colors and cartoons are back from the 1980s this year; the dirty look is out. People will be looking for fresh bright colors this summer. Girls in pink look cute and sweet. And green makes everyone look more lively. Some of the best colours are cotton candy pink and lime green. These soft colours go well with jeans or just about anything else. As soon as you put on one of these colours, you'll feel like a star!
Some girls like something more interesting than all solid(单一的) colours. For them, there are lots of floral patterns (花卉图案) to choose from in shirts, dresses or skirts. A floral shirt looks nice with a light-coloured solid skirt or trousers.
Of course, jeans are in for boys. If you get too hot, try something lighter, like khaki cargo pants. They'll have enough pockets to keep everything you need for studying, playing and keeping cool! Army green is all the rage(盛行) this year.

In the old days, it was poor and dirty. The houses were old and small. Pollution was serious. Few visitors came here.
Everything has changed now. People live a better life. New buildings can be seen here and there. Many people have their own cars. The environment has greatly improved. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. Every year, many tourists come to visit our town.

The International Friendship Camp began in the USA in1967. It aims to help world peace by giving teenagers from different countries a chance to make friends.
Last year, the International Friendship Camp was held in Beijing. About 50 teenagers from around the world stayed with local families for two weeks. They had a great time. Antonio from Italy said, “I didn't expect Chinese teenagers to be so friendly. I thought they would be serious and hard-working, because they have a lot of exams. However, they are active and outgoing. They are similar to Italian teenagers.” Shirley from Canada said, “Some members of my host family can't speak English but we have still become good friends. They are kind and generous.”

Dear Mary,
I am Wang Fang, a middle school student in Jiangyan, and I am 15 years old now. I am Gemini, so I am curious about everything. I like reading, traveling and making friends. I enjoy a lot communicating with others.
My favourite colour is red because red is a kind of strong colour. It represents power and strong feelings.
I’m interested in English, too. I can sing lots of English songs. And I think writing to you in English will help me a lot in learning English. By the way, my classmates want to make pen-friends with foreigners, too. I hope you can help them.
I hope I can study in Britain later. If I have a chance to your country, I hope to meet you.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Wang Fang
