I turned around to find a wrinkled(有皱纹的) old lady. She said, “ Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Im 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” 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. 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 am getting one!” she told me. After class we shared a chocolate milk shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk non-stop. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet(宴会). Ill never forget what she taught us. She cleared her throat and began, “ we do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and dont 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. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change and have no regrets.”At the years end Rose finished the college degree.

The 11-storey ship was not just very large, but also unusually luxurious (豪华). It is therefore not surprising that the sinking of the Titanic continues to attract the interest of people of all ages, even today. Over the years, there have been many books about this tragedy. However, very few have been written from the perspective (视角) of the young passengers. This is why I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis is fun and different. The author uses facts from the real tragedy and makes up a heart-stopping adventure story starring a smart and brave boy George Calder. After spending an exciting vacation in England with their Aunt Daisy, ten-year-old Gorge and his little sister Phoebe, were heading home to America, aboard the greatest ship on earth, the Titanic! Then on the night of April 14th, the first sign of disaster appeared-the luxury ship hit a huge iceberg. But given that everybody in the world knew that the Titanic was unsinkable, there was very little cause for panic. They were all confident that the ships engineers would be able to repair the slight damage that had been caused by the iceberg. This, of course, turned out to be untrue. Within a few hours the Titanic was not only sinking, but faster than most people had time to react. Added to this was the fact that there were not enough lifeboats to take all the passengers to shore. If that was not enough, when the emergency call to get on the deck came, Gorge realized that his sister Phoebe was missing.Will George be able to find his sister and help her get to shore?
