10.As Rosalie Warren stood at the mailbox in the lobby of her apartment building in May 1980,she shared the anxiety of many other college seniors.In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades.As she nervously opened it,Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off.
They had.
"I got five A's,"she still recalls with elation."I almost fell on the floor!"
Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science degree in philosophy and history at age 80.Three years later,at age 83; she would receive her second degree from Suffolk,a master's in education.
Now,with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment,Warren is not finished with learning.Now 93,she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65and over to attend classes tuition free."It's my life to go to school,to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,"she says."That's what I love."
Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29,1900.Two years after she entered high school,her father died.Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family's 10children.Warren describes herself as a"person who always liked school,"and she says the move"broke my heart completely because I couldn't finish high school."
In the end,however,"I went to school nights,"she recalls."Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching,I was there."
A short time later,her mother became ill,and Warren had to care for her,once again putting her education on hold.
Finally,in 1921,her mother,now recovered,drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing,stenography,and office procedures.
Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60years,but her great desire"to be in the academic field"continued.
In 1924,she married Eugene Warren,and seven years later,her daughter,Corinne,was born.In 1955,by then a widow and a grandmother,Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months.She said she wanted to see"things you never see in the West End."
When she returned home,she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy,sociology and Chinese history.
In 1975,when she was 75,Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University's tuition-free program for senior citizens."I was at the registrar's office the very next day,"she recalls.At first,she took one or two courses at a time,but encouraged by her professors,she enrolled as a degree candidate.
"I had not studied for so many years,"she says,"but I was determined."For the next four years,Warren,who calls herself a"student of philosophy,"worked toward her degree.
Nancy Stoll,dean of students at Suffolk,says Warren is"an interesting role model for our younger students---that learning is a lifetime activity….She is genuinely enthusiastic about being here,and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty."

A.Great happiness      
B.Great surprise

57.What kind of work did she do for 60years?D

C.Typing

58.Which statement can be inferred from the underlined sentences?D

C.Most of the students at Suffolk University are older than 65
D.Suffolk University encourages older people to take courses

17.Woman Uses Daughter's Key to"Steal"Car
Charlie Vansant,a college student of Athens,Ohio,who reported that his car was stolen,got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it-using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry(丰田凯美瑞)and used her daughter's key to unlock the car,start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later,he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed,but when the police couldn't find a record of it,they took a theft report.
The morning after Anderson took the car,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers.Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.

Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fitted not only my lock,but my ignition(点火装置)as well-so high-five for Toyota,I guess."he said.

14.College provides an important platform for the future professional life.The grades speak well about the kind of student you are and will also determine the chances of further studies.You cannot do all things at one time.At time you need to decide what to do according to their importance.This is one good skill that you will be requiring even after graduation.
    There are few tips to help you at college:
    Just find the place where you will not be disturbed.Grab your reading material,note pad,pen and other necessities.Distraction is a biggest hurdle in focusing.You need to ask yourself what distracts you the most.Is it music from the neighbors,presence of someone at home,internet or anything else?Try to be aware of your weakest points and then stay away from them  as much possible during your study time.The distraction may also include your friends and  some other things.It is only you who can decide that what is best for you.
    When you are ready for studying,then arrange the reading material and decide what things you need to study first.Put maximum time on your weak and major subjects.Set aside your minor ones for few hours as you know that these are comparatively less important than the  majors.   
    Make a realistic study plan which you can follow and stick to it.There is no point of making all 8hr study schedule daily as you know that it's not possible for you.Start the preparation at least 4 weeks before the exams.
    While making a study plan,don't forget the breaks after every 90minutes of study.It will  help your eyes to relax and focus in an effective manner.Make a checklist of small milestones and put this on your table so you can see them frequently.When you are done with one or more  cross them from the list and focus on the new ones.
