     All over my garden I"ve planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower. A close
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 ________.
A. she can make money out of them
B. her friends like them
C. she enjoys the roses very much
D. the roses sell well
2. The underlined word "wafted" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to "________".
A. given off  
B. lost
C. destroyed  
D. thrown away
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.
D. Because the writer did not want to give her any.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Pity of People to the Roses
B. A Lover of Flowers
C. A Lovely Rose Garden
D. The Smiling Face of the Earth

     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.
1.Rose made herself known to the author in a________ manner.
A.serious  
B.cold
C.humorous  
D.crazy
2.From the information provided in the passage, we know ________.
A.Rose finished the college degree within a year
B.Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education
C.Rose enjoyed her campus life very much
D.Rose grew so old that she stopped playing
3.Rose delivered the speech________.
A.at the graduation
B.which she prepared carefully
C.ended with The Song of Rose
D.to challenge all the other speakers
4.According to her speech, ________.
A.even you have a dream, you won"t succeed
B.all people don"t grow up while growing older
C.Rose usually regretted having done something
D.a nineyearold is as old as an 87yearold if he doesn"t do anything

     It"s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool"s Day.On April 1 each year, people play
tricks on each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie
each other"s shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise
test that scares students before they realize it"s only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests
(such as "Win an elephant!") and report on fake stories (like "UFO" lands in New York City).
     Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year.On April
Fool"s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).
      One April Fool"s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a
very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our
school cafeteria.The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our
feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.
     Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them.Finally, they caught four of
them.But the chickens were wearing numbered tags (商标) around their necks, and the teachers
discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5.Where was chicken No.4?
     The teachers looked and looked.They couldn"t find another chicken.After a few hours, they
realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the
first place! They"ve been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
     It"s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool"s Day remains one of my
 favorite memories from those years.
