(1)The first day of school our professor 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 wrinkled, little old lady
beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
(2)She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
(3)I laughed and enthusiastically 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.
(4)She jokingly replied, "I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.
(5)"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
(6)"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one! " she told me.
(7)After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
(8)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.
(9)At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.
(10)Frustrated and a little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I’m sorry. I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
(11)As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began: "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four 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. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! "
(12) "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 twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability."
(13) "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."
(14)She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose." She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
(15)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. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
Rose will agree with the idea that _______.
选项
A、growing older means growing up
B、one can grow up without doing anything
C、it takes one’s talent and ability to grow up
D、one grows older at the same time when he grows up
答案
C
解析
在第12段中,Rose对比了grow older和grow up,其中从本段的倒数第2句可以推断,grow older不需要任何智慧或能力,而grow up是与grow older。不同的,换句话说,grow up需要智慧和能力,因此本题正确答案为C。A和D将grow up和grow older等同起来,不符合原文两者的对比关系,而B的对比关系与原文相反。
