(2018双鸭山第一中学高三模拟)
On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. 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, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 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 I’m 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 of 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. 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 is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities 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 Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. 1.What happened to the author on the first day of school?
