around to find a wrinkled, little old lady smiling at me. she said, “hi, handsome. my name is rose. im 87. can i give you a hug?” i laughed, “of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” i asked. she jokingly replied, “im here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of children.” “no seriously,” i said. “i want to realize my dream!” she told me. over the course of the year, rose became a campus icon and everyone liked to listen to this “time machine”. at the end of the semester we invited rose to speak at our football banquet and ill never forget what she taught us. “there is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. if you are 19 and lie in bed for one full year and dont do one productive thing, you will turn 20. if i am 87 and stay in bed for a year and never do anything i will turn 88. we have less time to live on. anybody can grow older. that doesnt take any talent or ability. the idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. the elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”at the years end, rose finished the college degree she had dreamed about all those years. one week after graduation rose died peacefully in her sleep. over 2,000 students attended her funeral honoring the wonderful woman who taught us such an important message. 51. rose made herself known to the author in a _ manner.a. seriousb. coldc. crazyd. humorous52. rose was considered a “time machine” because she _.a. always followed a strict time schedule b. was never late for any of her classes c. had lived a long and rich life d. always appeared in time whenever she was needed53. according to rose, growing up is different from growing older because _. a. growing up doesnt need as much effort or talent as growing olderb. growing up means young people have enough time to waste c. there is no need for one to worry about death d. growing up means one has more chances or time to choose what one likes 54. rose came to study in college at such an old age for the purpose of _. a. challenging her old age b. realizing her long dream about college education c. meeting someone rich and attractive d. not having any regrets in her life bthe desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. they know that they will have to face difficult moments, that they wont be able to communicate with the persons around them, and that they have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families, but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed. on the other hand, there are people who immigrate (移民) just for the sake of the people they love. they leave their families to make other families with the people they love. women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life, even if they miss their families and friends. maybe they dont have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny (命运) has for them. there are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. theyd rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger. when well-developed countries see that their homeland is being invaded by lots of immigrants, they set new laws that make immigration harder. as a result of this, many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work, although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job. the opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment. many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.55. which of the following reasons for immigration is not mentioned in the passage? a. escaping from a war. b. being reunited with the beloved people.c. seeking a better lifed. studying a foreign language56. whats the usual response to immigrants in well-developed countries?a. to accept them. b. to refuse them.c. to put limitations on immigration.d. to encourage them.57. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. some immigrants are still fighting for their rights now.b. immigrants are never accepted no matter how hard they try.c. native people usually earn more money than illegal immigrants.d. the local people have different attitudes toward immigrants.58. the passage implies that _.a. many people go to other countries with great determinationb. illegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countries c. stricter laws should be set to prevent immigrationd. culture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrantscwhere do you find out about the worlds longest walk? the worlds tallest man? the worlds oldest woman? you know the answer, of course. it is the guinness book of world records. how would people find such unusual facts without this book?guinness book did not exist until 1951. here is what happened. the managing director of guinness brewery was a curious man. he wanted answers to some questions about records. for example, he wanted to know what was the fastest flying game bird in europe. but he was frustrated. there was no book to answer questions like this.the director, sir hugh beaver, contacted the mcwhirter twins. they were brothers who owned a research agency. he asked them to put together a new reference book. it would include all kinds of unusual records. the brothers quickly accepted. the first edition of their book was published in 1955. soon the guinness book of world records was a best seller. it has sold more copies than any book except the bible. a new edition is published every year. where do all the books records come from? they are a combination of things like natural wonders, sports records, and stunts(特技) (how many people would push an egg with their noses if they werent trying to get to the book?). but the editors try to keep things honest. all records must be verified by an investigator. only then are they printed. the guinness book is a big business. it is published in dozens of languages. there are tv shows and museums. it is proof of how interested people are in strange pieces of information. 59. the passage is mostly about _. a. the mcwhirter twinsb. the director sir hugh beaverc. unusual records in the guinness bookd. a history of the guinness book60. the guinness book _.a. is a best sellerb. is published only in englishc. does not always check its recordsd. has a full-length movie based on it61. it is clear from the passage that the mcwhirter twins _. a. wanted to publish the book so that they set up a research agencyb. owned so good a research agency that they liked to help others c. recognizes that sir hughs idea for a book was a good oned. wanted to know the answers to some questions about records 62. in this passage, the underlined word verified means _.a. questionedb. proved the truthc. written upd. blockeddyou might not know it, but there is something wonderful at your fingertips. you can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands. doctors say that body contact is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. when people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin (血红蛋白)a type of matter that produces the red color in blood increases greatly. this results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. in experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life. they became sad and negative. studies showed the monkeys were more probable to become ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers.human babies react in much the same way. some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak. yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean. the reason, he concluded, was that they often had touches from nurses. experiments show that most people like being touched. and nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients fear of treatment. of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. but even if we dont like being touched, a smile can make us feel better. smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of happy brain chemicals. so lets have a big smile and dont forget to keep in touch.63. which of the following is not true?a. everyone knows that body contact can make people happier. b. people may work harder because of body contact. c. your fingertips can do something. d. people may not understand the importance of touching. 64. according to the passage _.a. human brai
