Now work in pairs and talk about what you can learn from Janet's story.
Interviewer: Last week Janet Rose graduated from South Omaha University with a degree in American literature. There is nothing unusual about that except that Janet is an 81-year-old grandmother. Yesterday we caught up with Janet and asked her to tell us her story. Good morning, Janet. Why did you wait so long to get a degree
Janet: Ha ha! That's a good question and one that nearly everyone asks me. Well, let me see. I started university back in 1955, but in my first year my mother fell very ill and she couldn't help my father run the family business any more. So I went home to Texas to take care of her and to help my father. After that I never really thought about going back to study.
Interviewer: Why not And what changed your mind
Janet: I thought it was too late. But then five years ago my daughter Candy suggested I go back to school and I jumped at the chance.
Interviewer: How did you feel going back to university after all these years
听力文本2--1
Janet: I felt a bit nervous at first. I mean, I was surrounded by all these smart young people with their electronic gadgets, and I felt so old. But the students and teachers were kind to me and I soon got used to the classes. They even let me join some of their activities, and I became good friends with some of them. I soon got used to studying, using online resources as well as reading books and articles. It was hard work, but fun.
Interviewer: So, you have just graduated with a degree in American literature. How does it feel
Janet: It feels great. I am trying to live my life to the full. I don't want to sit around at home all day watching daytime TV.
Interviewer: That's fantastic to hear. Janet, do you have any advice for other senior citizens considering going back to university
Janet: I suggest that if you are thinking of going back to school, do it. You'll find that studying again opens up a new world of opportunity to you. And remember, you're never too old
to learn.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Janet. Finally, what are your plans now
Janet: Oh, didn't I say I'm starting a master's degree in the fall.

Homework
Here's my story summarized by the proverb "Every cloud has a silver lining":
Once, I failed an important exam and felt very sad. I thought my efforts were wasted. But soon, I got an opportunity to join a special project at school. During the project, I discovered my passion for research. The experience was so enriching that I forgot about the exam failure. In the end, I won an award for the project. It made me realize that every setback brings a new opportunity.
Sample 1
Here's my story summarized by the proverb "Actions speak louder than words":
In high school, I wanted to become the class representative. Many of my classmates also wanted the position and talked about their plans loudly. Instead of just talking, I started taking small actions. I helped clean the classroom, organized study groups, and listened to everyone's problems. Gradually, people noticed my efforts. When the voting day came, I was elected with a huge majority. This experience taught me that true leadership is shown through deeds, not just words.

自古以来，讲故事就是一种分享和传递智慧的方式。一部这么做的重要的早期作品是《伊索寓言》，这是一部故事集，历史将其归功于一位希腊故事讲述者伊索。人们认为，他生活在公元前620年至公元前564年的古希腊。他的故事中的大部分角色都是动物，而动物的品质正是伊索用来反映人类品质和智慧的。每一个寓言故事都给我们上了人生的一课，伊索在故事的结尾用一个简短的习语总结了这一课，称作寓言。今天，世界各地的儿童和成年人仍然喜欢《伊索寓言》。

Now work in pairs and talk about what you can learn from Janet's story.
Interviewer: Last week Janet Rose graduated from South Omaha University with a degree in American literature. There is nothing unusual about that except that Janet is an 81-year-old grandmother. Yesterday we caught up with Janet and asked her to tell us her story. Good morning, Janet. Why did you wait so long to get a degree
Janet: Ha ha! That's a good question and one that nearly everyone asks me. Well, let me see. I started university back in 1955, but in my first year my mother fell very ill and she couldn't help my father run the family business any more. So I went home to Texas to take care of her and to help my father. After that I never really thought about going back to study.
Interviewer: Why not And what changed your mind
Janet: I thought it was too late. But then five years ago my daughter Candy suggested I go back to school and I jumped at the chance.
Interviewer: How did you feel going back to university after all these years
听力文本2--1
Janet: I felt a bit nervous at first. I mean, I was surrounded by all these smart young people with their electronic gadgets, and I felt so old. But the students and teachers were kind to me and I soon got used to the classes. They even let me join some of their activities, and I became good friends with some of them. I soon got used to studying, using online resources as well as reading books and articles. It was hard work, but fun.
Interviewer: So, you have just graduated with a degree in American literature. How does it feel
Janet: It feels great. I am trying to live my life to the full. I don't want to sit around at home all day watching daytime TV.
Interviewer: That's fantastic to hear. Janet, do you have any advice for other senior citizens considering going back to university
Janet: I suggest that if you are thinking of going back to school, do it. You'll find that studying again opens up a new world of opportunity to you. And remember, you're never too old
to learn.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Janet. Finally, what are your plans now
Janet: Oh, didn't I say I'm starting a master's degree in the fall.

Homework
Here's my story summarized by the proverb "Every cloud has a silver lining":
Once, I failed an important exam and felt very sad. I thought my efforts were wasted. But soon, I got an opportunity to join a special project at school. During the project, I discovered my passion for research. The experience was so enriching that I forgot about the exam failure. In the end, I won an award for the project. It made me realize that every setback brings a new opportunity.
Sample 1
Here's my story summarized by the proverb "Actions speak louder than words":
In high school, I wanted to become the class representative. Many of my classmates also wanted the position and talked about their plans loudly. Instead of just talking, I started taking small actions. I helped clean the classroom, organized study groups, and listened to everyone's problems. Gradually, people noticed my efforts. When the voting day came, I was elected with a huge majority. This experience taught me that true leadership is shown through deeds, not just words.
