On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”

I knew she was joking. I was curious what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.

At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat(喉咙) and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity(机会) in change...”

1. When the author and Rose first met, they began their conversation in a ________ manner.

A. polite B. impolite

C. serious D. humorous

2. The author considered Rose as a “time machine” because ________.A. she always came to class on time

B. she made friends easily at university

C. she enjoyed a long life and had lots of wisdom and experience

D. she knew the difference between growing older and growing up

3. The word“That”in Paragraph 7 refers to(指)________.

A. growing older B. growing up

C. staying young D. being happy

4. From this passage we know Rose believed ________.

A. “Easier said than done.”

B. “Well begun is half done.”

C. “It is never too late to learn.”

D. “Reading makes a full man.”

任务型阅读,通读下列短文,并根据短文内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词,每空一词。

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little braver, just try the following things:

Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.

Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Get your attention(注意) elsewhere(在别处). Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether(是否) people like you or not. You will become relaxed(放松的) and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.

Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.

任务型阅读。)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求做题。

You probably talk to friends more than you talk to your parents. That’s natural. Still, most of us want a parent’s help, advice, and support at home. But talking to the parents may be difficult or terrible---especially when it comes to certain subjects. Here are some suggestions to make it easier.

Talk about everyday stuff---and do it every day. The more you do something, the easier it gets. Talking to parents about everyday stuff builds a bond that can help you discuss something more serious with them later.

Find something to chat (聊天) about each day. Talk about how your team did at the sports meet. Share something one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what’s for dinner can keep your relationship comfortable.

It’s never too late to start. If your relationship with your parents makes you feel nervous, try getting into conversations slowly. Mention the cute thing the dog did. Talk about how well your little sister is doing in math. Chatting with parents every day not only keeps the present relationship strong, it also can help a might-be-worse relationship get better.

When parents feel connected to your daily life, they can be there for you if something really important______.
