On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn5t 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?J,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 (好奇) 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 be-came friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this 4<time ma-chine” as she shared her wisdom (智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherev- er she went.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat 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 in change. ”

I have heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon,and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water,my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout,then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was strapped.
I heard a low hum (嘴嘴聲) ，which was growing louder. From a distance,the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer,I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was to cover my face with hands. Crazily I thought that if I sat very still (安靜的) ， the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few seconds,I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn't easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down to the rocks. However,I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening,but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool,but I don't remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe,and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool,the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water,putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.
