A nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle（水潭、泥坑） between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet．He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn't possibly imagine how this had happened．It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived．
He prayed this prayer, "Dear God, I need help  now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat!"

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy was the object of sympathy．The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out．All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk．The sympathy was wonderful．But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred （轉(zhuǎn)移） to someone else+—Susie．She tried to help, but they told her to get out．
When school was over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispered back, "I wet my trousers once, too!"

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically（熱情地）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. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”

 “No seriously,” I said. 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’m getting one!” she told me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.

 “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.

 “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. 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. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.

 “The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t 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 Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌詞）and live them out in our 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.

4. Rose made herself known to the author in a ______ manner.

A. serious              B. cold           C. humorous          D. crazy

5. From the information provided in the passage, we know ______.

A. Rose finished the college degree within a year

B. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education

C. Rose enjoyed her campus life very much

D. Rose grew so old that she stopped playing

6. Rose delivered the speech ______.

A. at the graduation                          B. which she prepared carefully

C. ended with “The Song of Rose”             D. to challenge all the other speakers

7. According to her speech, ______.

A. whenever you have a dream, you succeed 

B. all people don’t grow up while growing older

C. Rose usually regretted having done something

D. a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesn’t do anything

    Drunken driving sometimes called American's
socially accepted form of murder has become a national epidemic（流行病）．Every hour of every day about
three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an
incredible 250,000 over the past ten years．A drunken
driver is usually referred to as one with 0．10-blood
alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wines or shots of whisky
drunk within two hours．Heavy drinking used to be an
acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in
most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many
well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public
opinion is no longer tolerant．
    


    Twenty states have raised the legal drinking
age to 21, reversing a trend （逆轉(zhuǎn)潮流） in the 1960s to reduce it to 18．After New
Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers
more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21．
    


    Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking
age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help
young people to develop "responsible attitudes" about drinking and
teach them to resist peer pressure to drink．
    


    Some states are punishing bars for serving
customers too many drinks．A
bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a
customer who was "obviously drunk" and later drove off the land,
killing a nine-year-old boy．
    


    As the accidents continue to occur daily in
every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years
national prohibition （禁令）
of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the "noble
experiment"．They forget that legal prohibition
didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption （腐�。� and organized crime．As with the booming
drug trade generally, there is no easy solution．
    


    1.It can be inferred from the passage that
drunken driving has become a major problem in the United States because___．
    


    A．most Americans like drinking
    


    B．heavy dinking is hard to avoid
    


    C．Americans are not shocked by traffic accidents
    


    D．many Americans are killed by traffic accidents
    


    2.What can be inferred from the fact of the
traffic accidents in New Jersey?
    


    A．Drivers should not be allowed to drink． 
    


    B．Young drivers were usually bad．
    


    C．The legal drinking age should be raised．
    


    D．Some drivers didn't reach the legal drinking age．
    


    3.The underlined word "lenient" in
the first paragraph means___．
    


    A．cruel          B．serious        C．determined     D．merciful[來源:Z§4.Which of the following best
shows the writer's opinion of drunken driving?
    


    A．It may cause organized crime． 
    


    B．The new laws can stop heavy drinking．
    


    C．There should be no bars to serve drinks．
    


    D．It is difficult to solve the problem．
