friend came for a visit the other day. I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her
bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.
That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end
she didn"t pick a single rose. I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower
farmer and didn"t make a living out of them. Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the
flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told
me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so
ironhearted as to destroy such a charming smile?
My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile
that it wins the care and pity of people.
1. The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because ________.

3. Why did the writer"s close friend refuse to pick a single rose?
A. Because the roses were not beautiful.
B. Because she loved the roses very much.
C. Because she did not like this kind of roses.

| The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn"t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically(热情地)responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!" " No seriously," I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!" she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she taught us. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two 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!" she said. "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don"t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men," she added. "The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity 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 lives. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
