In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation (革新) in the way our food is grown.Plants will have a “voice”, not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.
Take vertical (垂直的) farms for example.Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled.The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles.This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways.First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops.Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure it’s still fresh when it reaches its final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand.For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies.And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities.This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented.Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow.For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth the water, and no pesticides.A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 5 pounds of oxygen every day.
1.What is the main idea of the text
A.Voice machines help plants speak up.
B.Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C.IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.
D.Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
2.How do sensors attached to plants work
A.By recording farmers harvesting crops.
B.By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C.By analyzing information to preserve crops.
D.By passing information on to a control system.
3.According to Paragraph 4, the IoT system can help .
A.expand the output of crops
B.match supply with demand
C.determine the needs of farmers
D.move restaurants onto farms
4.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming
A.Negative. B.Reserved.
C.Optimistic. D.Doubtful.

2.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“small sensors in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops.”可知,传感器将最健康的农作物生长所需要的水、光和营养等信息传递给控制系统,故D项正确。
3.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段中的“Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand.”可知,垂直农场将与其他网络和信息系统相连,包括追踪当地需求的数据库,再结合后面的例子可知,物联网系统有助于使供应与需求相匹配,故B项正确。
4.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段中的“Today, vertical farms are being experimented.Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry”可知,如今,垂直农场正在试验中。然而,这些数字为该行业指明了光明的未来,由此可知作者对垂直农场的未来持乐观态度,故C项正确。

You don’t need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives,such as the way we shop.Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.
Try it on,virtually(虚拟地).Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you.Go and see the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of eyewear you’re checking out on a picture of your face.But what if you want to buy something bigger Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s motion tracking camera,you can cover clothes on your screen body.You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect,custom fit.Everyone’s body is shaped differently.To get a perfect fit,you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.But by using 3D scanning(扫描) technology,all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using high-tech to get the most exact sizes,so they can make special clothes just for you.
Experience high-tech shopping carts and checkout counters.High-tech shopping carts could,in time,be a common sight in malls and supermarkets.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are under test at present.The cart can follow you along the aisles(通道),controlled only by your movement and your voice.In China,a supermarket chain(连锁超市) introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores’ aisles.
In the United States,several supermarkets use a device(装置) called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan goods on their own while they shop.While it’s great not having to line up at a checkout counter,we wouldn’t mind it if the store used Toshiba’s new Object Recognition Scanner.The machine identifies a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color,ever if it has no bar code(条形码).
5.What can be learned about the eBay Fashion iPhone app according to Paragraph 2
A.Make lively pictures of our face.

A
A lot of people say math is not their strong suit.One New Jersey parent wants to help change that.Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers.She always helped measure ingredients(食材)when her mother baked,and she learned about angles from her father.She went on to major in astrophysics(天体物理学)in college.Overdeck wanted her own children to be good at math,too.
“And when our first child was about two,we just started giving her a math problem every night,”Overdeck said.The problem was usually a story,involving animals,cars or candies that let the kid count.“Our third child started,at age two,yelling that he wanted his own math problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it.And we thought ‘Wow,we have a household where math is the popular thing at bedtime’,”Overdeck said.
In February,Overdeck set up Bedtime Math,an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children.Overdeck is particularly keen to hook(吸引)children on numbers before they go to school.So why introduce little ones to math so early
Sian Beilock,an expert on performance anxiety,says the more fun and familiar math is early on,the less likely children will feel nervous when they start to learn math in school.“My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing math,”Beilock said.
“You can hear totally educated adults say ‘You know I’m just not that good at math’or‘I’m kind of afraid of math’.And that’s a totally acceptable thing for a well-educated person to say,but you never hear them say ‘Well,you know,I’m just not that good at reading’.”Overdeck said.She wants children and their parents to become as fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.
1.Overdeck majored in astrophysics because she .
A.was really fond of mathematics
B.hoped to change math education in the US
C.had an interest in physics
D.would like her children to be good at math
2.Beilock’s attitude towards Overdeck’s idea is .
A.agreeable B.puzzled
C.anxious D.critical
3.The unfavorable situation of the US in math ability is shown by .
A.the popularity of Bedtime Math
B.children’s performance anxiety in school
C.people’s reaction to math
D.adults’ great fondness for Harry Potter
语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。新泽西州的一位母亲创建了一个网站——Bedtime Math,旨在提高孩子们的数学能力。阅读本文有利于培养学生更好地学习数学,为社会服务的意识。
答案及剖析:
1.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由第一段中的“Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers...She went on to major in astrophysics in college”可知,Laura Overdeck是伴随着数字长大的,她总是帮母亲测量烘烤食物的材料,从父亲那儿学习了关于角度的知识,由此可知,她对数学非常感兴趣,所以大学里主修了天体物理学。故选A。
2.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。由第四段第一句“Sian Beilock, an expert on performance anxiety, says the more fun and familiar math is early on, the less likely children will feel nervous when they start to learn math in school.(研究表现焦虑方面的专家Sian Beilock表示,早期数学越有趣、越熟悉,孩子们在学校开始学习数学时感到紧张的可能性就越小。)”可知,Beilock同意Overdeck的想法,都认为应当尽早让孩子们了解和熟悉数学,这样孩子们上学后学习数学时就不会那么紧张害怕了。故选A。
3.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由最后一段中的“You can hear totally educated adults...I’m just not that good at math”可知,很多受过良好教育的美国人都经常说自己不擅长数学,这反映了美国人的数学能力不容乐观。故选C。
B

答案及剖析:
4.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第二段中谈到“You can send e-mails to your friends,and they can get them in a few seconds(你可以给你的朋友们发送电子邮件,对方可以在几秒钟的时间内收到)”可知e-mail是最快的也是最便宜的。故选B。
5.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。最后一段的第二句讲到“It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front”,所以将来我们极有可能在家工作了。故选C。
6.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据全文我们可知,我们可以在学校、图书馆和家等地方使用Internet,所以说网络的拥有者是大家,而并不是某一个人或某一行业的从业者;再者,根据第三段最后“no one really owns the Internet itself”可知,选D。
7.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。最后两句告诉我们“98% of the information on the Internet is in English”,也就是说英语在Internet中的应用非常广泛,非常重要。故选A。

第一节
(Text 1)
M:I told you to wake me up at a quarter past seven.But now,the minute hand is pointing to two.
W:That’s right.But the hour hand is pointing to seven now!
(Text 2)
M:This is your bed,and the upper one is mine.
W:Good.I like the lower one.
M:There is a sheet and a blanket on each bed.The bedding is so clean.Oh,here comes the train attendant.
(Text 3)
M:I’m trying to figure out how to work the new machine,but just look at this instruction sheet.
W:What a useless piece of paper!
(Text 4)
M:Excuse me,how far is the nearest library
W:Well,there is a big library in the university,but the public can’t borrow books from there.But there is a public library 8km away.You can go there by bus.
M:OK,I’ll go to the public library.Thanks a lot.
(Text 5)
W:Where can I buy a street map,please
M:Try the grocery store on the other side of the park,or the bookshop at the bus station.
W:Isn’t there anywhere closer that sells maps
M:Yes,of course!The supermarket across the road from here.But maps are a bit expensive there.
第二节
(Text 6)
M:Hi,Penny.What are you eating for dinner today
W:Tomato soup.
M:How is it
W:It’s delicious.I love hot soup on a cold day.
M:Me,too.But you usually eat a hot dog for dinner.
W:Yes.But today I want soup.
M:I might get a salad today.
W:A salad
M:Salads are healthy.I like chicken and bacon on my salad.
W:I had bacon for breakfast this morning.I also had eggs and some fruit.
(Text 7)
W:You hit my car!
M:I’m not responsible!You stopped too suddenly!
W:I didn’t stop too suddenly!You were following me too closely!
M:If you hadn’t hit the brake so hard,none of this would have happened.
W:A small child ran in front of my car!I had to stop suddenly.Anyway,the law states that if you hit a car from behind,you are responsible,no matter how quickly the car in front stops.
M:I’m not paying for any damage.
W:We’ll see about that when the police get here.
M:The police No! If I get one more ticket,I’ll lose my driver’s license!
W:Well,that’s too bad.Maybe this will teach you not to follow so closely!
(Text 8)
W:Welcome to Citibank.How may I help you,sir
M:Well,I came in today to pay my credit card bill that came in the mail,but I just noticed that there seems to be a mistake on one of the charges.
W:I can definitely help you with that,sir.First,may I see your ID card and your bank card,please
M:Yes,here is my driver’s license and my Visa card.
W:Great.There is a total balance of $4,900.Is that correct
M:No,it’s not.There was a charge of $3,800 on October 20,but it really should have been $380.They must have added a zero by mistake,and I just didn’t notice when I signed the receipt.
W:This is not the first time I’ve heard of this happening.I will call the Apple Store on the Fifth Street and see what they have to say.Do you remember what you purchased that day
M:Yes,an iWatch.I even have the receipt here.
(Text 9)
M:Hi,I’m glad that I ran into you today.I have lots of questions and everyone has been telling me to talk to you.
W:What kinds of questions
M:You took an English class by Professor Sanford,did you
W:I sure did.
M:Well,I’ve heard lots about her and I’m thinking about taking her Basics in English class next term.What’s your opinion about the class
W:The class was interesting enough,but Professor Sanford is one of the most difficult teachers I have ever had.She expects a great deal from her students.So if you plan to take the course,be prepared to work very hard.But she’s an extremely intelligent person and she expects similar brilliance from her students.
M:Is she reasonable
W:Yes,she most definitely is.She was always available before,during and after classes to help us with any ideas we couldn’t understand.She was always open to different points.To be honest,I really liked her.I just hated all the readings we had to do in classical literature.
M:Well,I happened to like classical literature.
W:Really I was more interested in cultural comparison and we barely touched that.
(Text 10)
W:Attention,attention,everyone,please.I want to announce the results of the High-tech Electronics Company’s customer survey.Overall,we got high marks from our customers concerning the quality of our products.They felt that our products were quite modern,and carried a lot of the features they expected in electronics.They especially liked the high-tech cell phone,which combines a cell phone with a camera and an MP4 player.However,I’m very sorry to say that customers were far less satisfied with our customer service.They complained in the survey that their complaints took too long to resolve in person,by phone,or by the Internet.They also complained that our service staff were not always friendly.By contrast,they wrote that many of our competitors have excellent customer service.This is a serious problem that we will have to work on.This is why I’m ordering the Customer Service Department to come up with a plan within one week,explaining how they intend to improve our customer service.There is so much competition in our business,so we must improve our customer service as soon as possible.

Laptop computers are popular all over the world.People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels.These laptops connect people to their workplace.In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop.The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college.The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet.In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families.However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable.As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers.In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources.State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students.State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers.The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything.”

I went to a small and poor elementary school.I remember the first time a computer showed up in class.It was 5th grade and the computer was an Apple.It was the only computer in my school.This was the 80s and it was a $2,600 machine.
Before I discovered computers, I took typing class on old typewriters and I was the kid in class that repaired the typewriters.I remember spending hours trying to figure out what each typewriter needed to fix a stuck key.I was also the Audio/Visual geek(狂热的人).This meant I was the only one in the class who can thread (穿过) film onto the projector.
Anyway, when this Apple showed up, I immediately opened it.I had to see what was inside.This totally freaked out the teacher but it seemed clear I wasn’t going to break it.I quickly learned how to get out of educational games and write things in BASIC.This was all in 5th grade.
My 5th grade teacher and I stayed in touch until her passing.I honestly don’t know what I’d be doing if she hadn’t done something extraordinary.She let my father and me took the Apple home.I’d spend the weekend programming, reading the massive notebooks.This was a $2,000 computer in the middle of the 80s—the pride of the school—and they let me take it home.A year later, I came home from school one day and the family car was gone and there was a Commodore 64 left in its place.My parents had sold the car and bought a Commodore.
Now, I think about this crazy journey.I am standing on the shoulders not only of computer science giants, but also heroes like my parents and my 5th grade teacher.Thanks Mrs.Hill, for introducing me to computers even though you were breaking rules.Thanks, Mum and Dad, for bringing a computer home even when there wasn’t money for one.

Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world.From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the Internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay.Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U.S.top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps.But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association.The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves.It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane.It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction.There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.
Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart phones.With 5G, that could actually happen.This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist—or perhaps even replace—smart phones.
Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don’t get too excited.There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction,so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.
32.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1
A.The lightning-fast speed of 5G.
B.The expectation of 5G world.
C.The difference between 4G and 5G.
D.The Internet-connected devices in our life.
33.What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Exhibition. B.Success.
C.Symbol. D.Explanation.
34.We can infer from the text that .
A.5G world won’t come without AR glasses
B.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicle
C.Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwide
D.tech companies will face the fact that smart phones may be replaced
35.What will the author probably tell us next
A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.
C.Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.
D.The importance of infrastructure construction.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,讲述的是随着科技的不断发展,5G时代即将来临。5G移动通信技术最大的优势就是上网速度大大加快。阅读本文有利于学生更好地了解科技的最新变化。
答案及剖析:
32.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。首段先提出5G时代即将来临,接下来介绍5G上网下载的高速度,相比目前的4G,5G有望达到千兆的上网速度。作者在第一段想强调5G的超级速度。故选A。
33.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中猜测词义的能力。画线词后的“and that is to say, it is a sign of time”是对前面的补充说明。由此推知,画线词的意思是“标志,象征”。故选C。
34.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段中的“This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist—or perhaps even replace—smart phones.”可知,科技公司将面临智能手机可能被取代的事实。故选D。
35.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段“But don’t get too excited.There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction,so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.”可知,作者接下来可能会告诉我们“如何全面扩大5G覆盖”。故选A。

Things to know when you write an e-mail message
For most of the twentieth century,people communicated by telephone or by mail.This is now changing,and e-mail is becoming the preferred method of communication.It’s faster than traditional mail.36. As e-mail is becoming popular,here are several rules we need to know.
Be polite and friendly.
Start your message with a greeting.If you are writing to a friend,you can begin with “Hi,Sandra”.If you are writing to your teacher,begin your message with “Dear Mr.Atonso”.37. Many people just type their names.Others say “Bye”,“Cheers”,or use abbreviations(缩写) like BFN (bye for now).
Look good.
When someone receives an e-mail message from you,they might not know anything about you.They will judge you from your e-mail message,so make yourself look good.38. Sometimes sentences seem clear when you write them,but don’t make sense when you read them back.
39.
If you start to use your e-mail several times a week,your message box will soon be filled with mails.After a few weeks,you can have a list of 60 or 70 messages!It is easy to delete(删除) the messages you don’t want anymore.If your messages are important,you can save them in folders(文件夹).40. It only takes a few minutes to learn.
A.Organize your e-mail.
B.It’s cheaper than a phone call.
C.The e-mail must be addressed correctly.
D.Type your message,and then read it again.
E.You need a closing at the end of your e-mail.
F.If you don’t know how to do that,just ask a friend.
G.The most commonly used e-mails are business e-mails.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何写一封电子邮件。阅读本文有利于培养学生掌握新技能。
答案及剖析:
36.B 考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据空格前的内容“电子邮件比传统邮件快多了”可知,此处介绍的是电子邮件的优点。B项“电子邮件比打电话便宜”符合题意。故选B。
37.E 考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据空格后的内容可知,很多人只需要打出他们的名字。E项“在邮件的最后要有一个收尾”符合题意。故选E。
38.D 考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据本段小标题“Look good.”和该空格后的“Sometimes sentences...when you read them back.”可知,写完后要再读一遍,故选D。
39.A 考查学生理解段落主题句与段内衔接关系的能力。本段主要论述了及时整理邮件的重要性,故用“Organize your e-mail.”作为小标题最恰当。故选A。
40.F 考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。由该空格前的“you can save them in folders”和该空格后的“It only takes a few minutes to learn.”可知,F项“如果你不知道如何去做,问问朋友就可以了”符合语境。故选F。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on stress management.As she raised a glass of water,everyone in the class 41 they would be asked the “half-empty or half-full”question. 42 ,with a smile on her face,she asked the students,“How much do you think this glass of water weighs ”
Answers called out ranged from 100 ml to 300 ml.
She quieted the students down and then replied,“It does not 43 on the absolute weight.It 44 on how long you hold it.If I hold it for a minute,it is OK.If I hold it for an hour,I will have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day,my right arm will feel numb.In each case,the 45 of the glass of water doesn’t change,but the 46 I hold it,the heavier it becomes.Why ”
Lost in 47 ,all the students kept silent and listened to the professor carefully.
“Our stresses and 48 in life are like that glass of water.If we 49 our burdens all the time,sooner or later,we will feel exhausted,even 50 to carry on.”What you have to do is put all your burdens down as 51 in the evening as possible.Don’t carry them through the evening into the night;by doing this,we can get 52 next morning and are able to move forward.More 53 than not,life gets terrible when we think too much.And the moment you 54 your burdens,you’ll find yourself feeling so much more relaxed.
So rather than being upset and feeling sorry for yourself,start doing something about it. 55 ,life is too short to abandon yourself to anything that is not making you happy.

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For many years, I had a recurring (重复出现的) dream.I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying, Mum! What did I do with my books ”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from.It was about some unfinished business in my life.As a kid, I loved everything about school.I loved books, teachers, tests and homework.Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma.That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition.My hope of getting a diploma(毕业证书) was dead, or so I thought.Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought, “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated.But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (幼年型类风湿关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom.I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret.I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses.“That’s the answer,” I said to myself.Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said, “Mrs.Schantz, why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed, “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts.“This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled.So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work.Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.

One possible version:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging.During the day, I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do.In the evening, I was a hard-working student working on my courses.To my surprise, both Linda and I did very well in night school.I went back again the next semester, and my grades steadily improved.
Linda and I helped each other through the time. When I was down, Linda encouraged me,“Mum, you can’t quit now!” And when she was down, I encouraged her.I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us.But neither of us gave up.At last, I got my diploma.To my surprise, almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker, and I got a $3,000 college scholarship.The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.
