I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, young man! My name is Rose. Im eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she told me. 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 listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year. Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. Ill never forget what she taught us. “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. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont 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 Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily life. At the years end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.4.

As the winter months are coining in, more and more people are sitting around a table, enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.Hot pot isnt just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; its also a social experience. Its a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evenings entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.For most westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find its now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me its like a dinner party where my taste buds and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.8. What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China?A. It has a history of over 1,000 years.B. It is a fun social experience.C. It involves many unique ingredients.D. It keeps people warm in winter and it is creative.9. We can conclude from the article that British people generally _.A. enjoy cooking their own food in restaurantsB. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot potC. dont like sharing food with others in restaurantsD. dont mind the smell of food staying on their clothes10. How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?A. More than four hours.B. Over one hour.C. About three hours.D. All the evening.11. What is the authors attitude to hot pot?A. Serious. B. Tired.C. Humorous. D. Appreciative.DAs a college student, I have planned my future career goals. I would like to work as a sales assistant in a computer company, then a sales manager and finally boss of my own company.At the very beginning, I plan to find a job in a famous company producing computers, in which all the staff are fully happy at work and I can experience job satisfaction most of the time. Only such kind of company can provide me with good working atmosphere and eagerness to learn more so as to get well prepared for my future profession.At first I want to be a sales assistant and always keep myself busy working in and out of the company, such a, answering telephones, doing repair work, even cleaning the rooms.
