We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. That’s what I learnt from my new and special friend. On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know.
I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose, I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young. Innocent age?” I asked jokingly. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she replied. After class we walked to the Students Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake there. We became instant friends.
Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends whenever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Money is the root of all evil and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying.Scientists at the University of California.Berkeley, US，announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的)things.such as lie or cheat，than poorer people.
The scientists did a series of eight experiments.They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley.They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks.Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.
In another experiment，a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations.Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change.Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists，rich people often think money call get them out of trouble.This makes them less afraid to take risks.It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.
Finally，it simply makes them greedier.“Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more，and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest，”said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
32.Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.
A.the difficulties in teaching spelling
B.the necessity of teaching spelling
C.the complexities of the basic writing skills
D.the role of spelling in general language development
33.The underlined expression “play safe” probably means “________”.
A.to write carefully
B.to avoid using words one is not sure of
C.to use dictionaries frequently
D.to do as teachers say
34.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.
A.students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
B.students will have more confidence in writing
C.students will be able to express their ideas more freely
D.students will learn to be independent of teachers
35.The major point discussed in the passage is _______.
A.the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
B.the importance of developing writing skills
C.the correct way of marking compositions
D.the complexities of spelling

When you live in America, it is not uncommon to see many children coming home from school to an empty house. 36 Some may hide.But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. 37
Kate Green was one of the headmasters of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside skirts. There were so may keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.” 38 .
She and her husband began talking to the children. They offered the suggestion: 39 One in every three latchkey children the Greens talked to once reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were womied about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. 40 The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.
A.Slowly, she learned they were house keys.
B.But they don’t mind
C.Some deal with the situation by watching TV
D.Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone.
E.Some should go to their friends for safety.
