become the worlds oldest person to be awarded a college degree.she didnt plan it that way. she just loved to learn as a teenager on a hodgeman county farm, then as a teacher at a one-room school after graduating from high school and later as a farm wife and mother.“even as i grew older, that enthusiasm for study was still there. i came here with no thought of it being an unusual thing at all,” she said.shes getting offers for television appearances, and reporters show up wanting to interview her. she says she enjoys it. “it brings attention to this college and this part of the state.”she added, “i dont think much of my age. it might limit what i can do. as long as i have my mind and health, its just a number.”ochs started taking classes at dodge city community college after her husband died in 1972.after taking a class here and there over the years, she was close to having enough hours for an undergraduate degree.at 5-foot-2, her white hair pulled into a bun (圆形发髻) , she walks energetically down hallways to classes with her books in a big handbag.students nod and smile; shes described as witty (睿智的) , charming and down-to-earth.“everybody has accepted me, and i feel just like another student,” she said.“the students respect me.”an added joy for ochs is that her 21-year-old granddaughter, alexandra ochs, will graduate with her.just like any other eager college graduate, the elder ochs cant wait for lifes next challenge. “im going to seek employment on a cruise ship as a storyteller,” she said, smiling. the determined look in her eye leaves no doubt. shes serious.41. the first paragraph mainly tells us that nola ochs is_.a. hard-workingb. successfulc. differentd. energetic42. from the underlined sentence “she didnt plan it that way”, we know that nola

educational experience, b. relationship with othersc. major subject d. physical appearancebwhen i was an education official in palo alto, california, polly tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the palo alto times. pollys son, jim, had great difficulty in school. he was classified as the educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. but jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. his parents knew his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. shortly after jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. after his death, his mother sent this letter to the newspaper:today we buried our 20-year-old son. he was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on friday night. how i wish i had known when i talked to him last that it would be the last time. if i had only known i would have said, “jim, i love you and im very proud of you.”i would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. i would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.when you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasnt to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings wont amount to much.i wont get another chance to tell my son all that i would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. the last time i talked to jim was the day he died. he called me to say, “hi, mom! i just called to say i love you. got to go to work. bye.” he gave me something to treasure forever.if there is any purpose at all for jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.you may never have another chance. 45. according to the passage, we know that _.a. jim was always ashamed of himselfb. jim did very well in his studiesc. jims parents were patient with himd. jim failed to finish his high school46. the underlined word

and i have always been very close. when daniels father remarried after a divorce, daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, kristie, came to live with us. my husband and i were more than happy to have kids in the house again. things were going along just fine until the diabetes (糖尿病) ive lived with most of my adult life started affecting my eyes, and then more seriously, my kidneys (肾). then everything seemed to fall apart. three times a week, i had to go to the hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine (透析机). i was living, but i couldnt really call it a life - it was an existence. i had no energy. i dragged myself through daily chores and slept as much as i could. my sense of humor seemed to disappear. daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. he tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around (开玩笑) with him. even in my sorry state, daniel could still bring a smile to my face. but things were not improving. after a year on dialysis, my condition was deteriorating (恶化) and the doctors felt that if i didnt receive a kidney transplant within six months, i would surely die. no one told daniel this, but he knew - he said all he had to do was look after me. to top it off, as my condition worsened, there was a chance that i would become too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and then there would be nothing they could do for me. so we started the tense and desperate wait for a kidney. i was adamant (坚决的) that i didnt want a kidney from anyone i knew. i would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or i would literally die waiting. but daniel had other plans. the time that he took me to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. then he announced his intention to me. “grandma, im giving you one of my kidneys. im young and im healthy ” he paused. he could see i wasnt at all happy with his offer. he continued, almost in whisper, “and most of all, i couldnt stand it if you werent around.” his face wore an expression of appeal mixed with determination. he can be as stubborn as a mule (驴) once he decides on something - but ive been told many times that i can out-stubborn any mule! we argued. i couldnt let him do it. we both knew that if he gave up his kidney, he would also give up his lifes dream; to play football. it was all he ever talked about. and he was good, too. daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle (防守阻截队员) of his high school team; he expected to apply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playing college football. he just loved the sport. “how can i let you throw away the thing that means the most to you?” i pleaded with him. “grandma,” he said softly, “compared to your life, football means nothing to me.” after that, i couldnt argue anymore. so we agreed to see if he was a good donor (捐赠者) match, and then wed discuss it further. when the tests came back, they showed daniel was a perfect match. that was it. i knew i wasnt going to win that argument, so we scheduled the transplant. both surgeries went smoothly. as soon as i came out of the anesthesia (麻醉) , i could tell things were different. i felt great! the nurses in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lie back and be quiet - i wasnt supposed to be that lively! i was afraid to go to sleep, for fear i would break the spell (魔法) and wake up the way i had been before. but the good feeling didnt go away, and i spent the evening joking and laughing with anyone who would listen. it was so wonderful to feel alive again. the next day they moved me out of icu and onto the floor where daniel was recuperating (复原) three doors away. his grandfather helped him walk down to see me as soon as i was moved into my room. when we saw each other, we did not know what to say. holding hands, we just sat there and looked at each other for a long time, overwhelmed by the deep feeling of love that connected us. finally, he spoke, “was it worthwhile, grandma?” i laughed a little ruefully (懊悔). “it was for me! but was it for you?” i asked him. he nodded and smiled at me. “ive got my grandma back.” and i have my life back. it still amazes me. every morning, when i wake up, i thank god - and daniel - for this miracle. a miracle born of the purest love.50. grandmas diabetes brought about all the following except that _.a. her eyes and her kidneys were affectedb. grandma became quite a different personc. daniel had to be sent back to his fatherd. everything was thrown into confusion51.

college.d. he searched desperately for a good donor match.52. how did grandma feel when daniel announced his intention to give her one of his kidneys?a. she was moved by his selfless decision.b. she wasnt at all happy with his offer.c. she felt relieved that
