A
Dream in Heart
On the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.
After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “ time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated,responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “ I’ m sorry I’ m so nervous.” 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 is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you’ re nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If I’ m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’ s non-optional but that doesn’ t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly don’ t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing “ The Rose” . She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in 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. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’ s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
1、Why does the author compare Rose to “ time machine” in Paragraph 2?
A．To stress her old age and knowledge of life.
B．To describe the close friendship between them.
C．To show that she always enjoyed her active life.
D．To explain why she took on a challenge in college.
2、Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.
A．she was a great football fan
B．she was the smartest student
C．she tried hard to achieve her dream
D．she became more educated than the others
3、We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.
A．growing older means growing up
B．it takes talent and ability to grow up
C．receiving high education helps to be courageous
D．one grows older at the same time when he grows up
4、The passage is intended to ______.
A．provide an example for the elderly B．discuss how to grow up quickly
C．tell the importance of attending college D．inspire the readers to live up to lives

B
When emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say," Ni Hao! " "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.
First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.
In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.
The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York's largest immigrant group. They think the city will have the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.
The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.
Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.
Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as "What building? What address? What apartment?" And the most important question," Is there anybody left in the building and where?"
1、Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?
A．People first learning the disaster. B．Persons leading the emergency rescue.
C．Rescuers first reaching the disaster D．People first find the disaster.
2、Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?
A．To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.
B．To learn about Chinese cultures much better.
C．To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.
D．To find a better job in Chinese community.
3、What do first responders concern most?
A．The place where the fire occurs. B．The people trapped in the fire.
C．The language to communicate. D．The distance covered to the fire.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Workers
B．New York's Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin
C．Language Problem Disturbing First Responders' Work
D．Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue
