    LOS ANGELES Jesus Ibarra was puzzled by the elderly man.

    He was obviously much older than other students at Central Ault High School. And he was an Anglo on a campus where most students are Latins, Blacks, and Asian Americans.

    “I asked myself what he was doing here,” said Ibarra, 21, of Los Angeles. “I thought he was a visitor. The first time I talked to him, I asked a question in English, and he answered in Spanish. I thought he was white and Jewish. I never imagined that he would speak Spanish.”

    Jacob Blitzstein surprised his fellow students all the time. He isn’t some stuffy man, though he wears his neat gray beard and conservative (traditional) clothes.

    Blitzstein is warm and gregarious (enjoys being with others). He likes to hear a good joke and loves to tell a good story. He is determined, especially when it comes to realizing his dream.

    Recently, that dream came true. At a graduation ceremony attended by two of his children and three grandchildren, Blitzstein, 81, graduated from high school.

    After Principal Lanny Nelms handed him the diploma（毕业证书）and announced his age, Blitzstein waved to the audience and cried.

    And why not? He’s probably the oldest Central High School graduate since the school opened in 1974. According to the Los Angeles district spokesman, although no records of such things are kept, Blitzstein is the oldest graduate he’s ever heard of.

    Earning his diploma took 10 years, during which the retired store owner suffered heart attack and ill health, and lost his wife and two brothers.

    He kept to his task for a reason. “School is the best medicine you can have,” he said. “You have something on your mind a goal.”

    With his diploma in hand, Blitzstein states that he’s not through yet.

    “You know something ? I’m going to college,” He told a visitor recently. He has checked out West Los Angeles and Santa Monica community colleges and hopes to move from there to a four-year school.

    “It’s not a joke,” he said. “If I live to the year 2008, maybe I’ll be a doctor.”

     

    64．What was Jacob Blitzstein’s dream?

           A．To be the oldest graduate.

           B．To graduate from high school.

           C．To surprise his fellow students.

           D．To invite his children to attend his ceremony.

    65．The underlined word “stuffy” in the 4th paragraph means “       ”.

           A．old fashioned                                    B．respectable

           C．narrow minded                                 D．fat

    66．What does Blitzstein mean by saying “he’s not through yet?”

           A．It’s a dream from which he can’t wake up.

           B．He will continue his studies and there is a long way to go.

           C．He can’t believe that he can get the diploma.

           D．He doesn’t think he’ll pass the examination.

    67．You can conclude from the passage that          .

           A．Jacob is the oldest graduate in the world

           B．it’s necessary to receive college education

           C．learning is an art

           D．a person’s effort can lead to success

    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.
