On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi,handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. ”
“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of kids,and then retire and travel.”
I knew she was joking. I was curious (好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I'm getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom (智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. I've learned a few secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. ”
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change …”

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I had to stop to wait a while behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road,and I became impatient.
At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left,right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other. It's not only the law,but it is an agreement we have,and we trust each other to follow it: we don't go through red lights.
The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互的) trust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg.

A. Stopping still.
B. Driving through it.

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up,you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold!Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that's been going around?
A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it's usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
On the other hand,the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you a fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine,the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗) ，it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒) . Flu vaccines work by giving body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗体) .So next time you get the flu,the antibodies should help you.
The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore,there are so many types of flu,such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can't help us against all types of flu. That's why we need to get the vaccine every year.
However,good health habits may also help stop you from developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统) .

You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world.① But it wasn’t always like that.
The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848,a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew.② Nowadays,other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet.
By 1890,there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum,however,is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays.③ He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.
Although today many millions of people chew gum,not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum,they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.
1. 请将①处翻译成汉语。
2. 请根据②处内容完成下面句子。(每空一词)
People make chewing gum soft and sweet something to it.
3. 把③处改为直接引语。(每空一词)
He also said, “Chewing gum people work better and it people from feeling tired. ”
