I found a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I am Rose. Im 87 years old. Can I give you a bug?” I laughed and heartily responded, “Of course!” “Why re you in college at such a young , innocent(天真的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.” “No, seriously,” I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I m getting one!” she told me. We became instant friends. Over the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to staying young.You have to laugh and find humor every day. Youve got to have dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have many people walking around who are dead, and they dont even know it!”she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability,”she added.“But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that its never too late to be all you can possibly be.41. Rose started college at the age of 87 in order to .Amarry a rich manBtravel around the worldCmake more friendsDrealize her dream42. Which of the following best explains“she was living it up”in the seventh paragraph?AShe was living a long life.BShe was enjoying herself.CShe was spending a lot of moneyDShe was killing time.43. When you lose your dreams, you will die because .Atheres no sense in living without your aimByou cant sleep well every nightCyou are too old and have to stop playingDsomething is terribly wrong with your brain44. What would be the best title for the passage?AMeet the ChallengeBNever waste timeCGrow up or Grow Old?DHave You Got Ready?BLooking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I was not good at maths.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birsds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my interest had led me into varied observations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight on reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my pubishing 300 papers and books, some of which might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, interest, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and basic qualities required is self-discipline（自律），a quality I lack. A scientist, up to a certain point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.45. The first paragraph tells us the author .Awas interested in flowers and insectsBlost his hearing when he was a childCdidnt like his brothers and sistersDwas born to a naturalists family46. The author cant remember his relatives clearly because .Ahe didnt live very long with themBthe family was extremely largeChe was too young when he lived with themDhe was fully occupied with observing nature47. From the passage we can infer that in fact the author was .Aa scientist as well as a naturalistBa naturalist but not a scientistCno more than a born naturalistDa scientist instead of a naturalist48. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he .Ahas a great deal of trouble doing mathsBlacks some of the qualities required of a scientistCjust reads about other peoples observations and discoveriesDfinds out the results in a special wayCImmerse（沉浸）yourself in writing by and about women.
