That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With the first performance only a week   36  , I was still learning my lines. I was having  37  dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about  38   up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down    39    streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep    40    and to keep away from any possible    41    . Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

     About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I     42    quickly, half   43    to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me    44    , so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize    45    the noise had been. It had been my    46   falling to the sidewalk.

     Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to    47    I'd heard the noise. Although I    48    the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was    49   to be found.

     I was about to give up the search when I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the    50    , "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was  51  . How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked,    52    up a small square shape.

      It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much    53    that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some    54    of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were    55     to help each other.

One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes   36   the skies like beautiful birds dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them under   37  .

Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the   45   of an unsympathetic wind. It flew up and down to the ground and   46   in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown   47   along the ground.

IV. Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

  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.
