On the first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out, we found an old woman appeared at the door. She said, "Hi, my name is Susan, I'm seventy years old." While we were  41  what made her take this challenge (挑战) at her age, she said with a smile, "I/m here to meet a rich husband, get   42   , have two children and travel together. "Hearing this, all of us laughed. "In fact," she went on, " I always   43   of having a college education, and now I'm getting one!"

     After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good   44  . I often listened to this "time machine" as she shared her study with me.

     At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a   45   . When she was stepped up to the front, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated (沮丧的) and said, "I'm sorry. I'm so nervous that I can't get my ready talk back , so I have to tell you   46   I know. "

     In her speech she told us, "We don't stop playing as we are old, we grow old because we stop playing. The secret of staying   47   , being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something   48   every day. I think there is a great   49   between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I lie in bed for one full year and never do anything, I'll become seventy - one. Since anybody can grow older, my idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can't be avoided (避免的), growing up can be   50  , It's never too late to be all you can be possible. "

     During the four years' study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends wherever she went. In the end, the wonderful woman got a college degree.

A new term has begun. Teachers are1about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with. They like to bring cell phones and MP3 players to school. What is worse , some students even use cell phones2out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some3students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that4? “Yes.” Says Delaney Kirk, a professor(教授) at Drake University. But she adds it’s not their fault.5, the teachers should be blamed(责备). Mrs Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. “I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well had nothing to do with them.” She says. “At first, I got worried about this.” But then I said to6, “You’re giving lessons, and you need to manage this kind of situation. These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good7. They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they8.”
Mrs Kirk also makes a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage(驾驭) their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit(受益)by taking the class and the importance9listening carefully in class.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones or MP3 players to the class at all.
Tell them10to use cell phones or MP3 players properly(适当地)..

It’s important for everyone to have a good neighbour. In China, there is a saying that a distant relative is not as good as a near neighbor(远亲不如近邻). I agree with it   1   from my experience (经历), I think it’s  2  for each one to have a good neighbor.
First, a good neighbour is a good friend. One winter day when our family moved to a new house, our neighborhood helped us to   3  some furniture(家具) and told us something   4  this neighbourhood. They invited all members of  5  family to their home and have a hot drink. They made us   6  comfortable here.
Next, a good neighbor is a good relative(亲戚).When we travel, our neighbors    7  take care of our house and keep the letters for us. When they    8 , we also help them as they do. In the new neighborhood, we always    9  each other. We are just like good relatives.
Finally, I get a very important   10  from our neighbours that having a good neighbour is being a good neighbor yourself.
