           LOS ANGELES―The advice offered from any other 82-year-olds might have made young people yawn and roll their eyes.

           But when former South African President Nelson Mandela advised two dozen Los Angeles to take education seriously, his audience was listening.

        The famed old man said to the young people that if they expected to improve the lives of others in the future, they must work at improving their own lives now. “Education is one of the most important weapons you have,” Mandela advised, “it will place you in a far better position to serve yourself and your community.”

        “The point is, he was young once and rebellious once and he kept his dream alive, just as you each have dreams.” Explained South Africa's ambassador to the United States, Sheita Sisulu, as she introduced Mandela to the young crowd.

        Asked for specific advice about changing society by 21-year-old Ahmed Younis, Mandela suggested that somehow helping arouse more American interest in foreign affairs might be a start.

        “There is an impression that Americans, in general, have not followed international developments properly,” Mandela said, “I’m not making that statement myself, but there are serious political analysts who say Americans are not well informed as to what has happened in the world.”

        22-year-old Omari Trice said Mandela left him full of passion. “He’s a person who set the tone for an entire nation.” said Trice.

        “You go away feeling you need to be Superman in order to get things done.” Trice said.

     

    64．From the passage, we can conclude that American youth________.

           A．are willing to accept the advice from world-famous leaders

           B．usually think that advice from old people is not worth considering

    C．have a good understanding of the old

    D．have no intention to improve the lives of others

    65．Nelson Mandela makes the point in his speech that American youth leaders should________.

          A．improve their own lives

       B．go to college for better education

          C．put more importance on education

       D．become interested in foreign affairs

    66．What Sheila Sisulu said suggested that _________.

          A．Nelson Mandela never lost hope in his life

       B．was especially troublesome when young

       C．Nelson Mandela was quite different from American youth when young

           D．American youth should be no more rebellious

    67．From what Trice said, we can know that _________.

          A．he was greatly impressed and encouraged by Mandela's speech

          B．he thought little of Mandela's speech

          C．he must be a superman in order to change society

          D．he’ll be more interested in international development

    A few years ago, I moved into a new house in Los Angeles. Soon after, a family moved in next door. It wasn’t the best of times for me. I had just divorced(离婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard. One night, I heard someone from the yard next door, “Tom ! How are you, Tom? ” 
    I couldn’t see anybody through the trees, but I answered, “I’ m good.”
    “Good!” said the voice.
    “What’s your name?” I asked.
    “Eric.” Then I heard someone say, “Eric, don’t bother him.”
    “Okay!” Eric said. “Talk to you tomorrow!”                                                                           
    Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(亿万富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group.
    One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor. My son’s an actor, too. And he’s very good. I want you to write a movie for him. He wants to do something like True lies.” That’s the movie I made in 1994. His father has given Eric the great gif of confidence. He believes he can do anything he wants. He also offered to fund the movie. And that’s how The Kid & I, which opens in November, began.
    Well, I really have to say that opportunity(机会)lies anywhere.
