She said, "Hi handsome! I’m Rose.I'm 87 years old.Can I give you a hug?" I said heartily, "of course!” why are you in college at such an age?” I asked. She joked, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.” “No, seriously?" I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education, now I'm getting one!” She told me.Over the year, Rose became an icon（偶像）.She easily made friends where she went.She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from other students.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our party.I'll never forget what she taught us.‎ ‎“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.Here are the secrets of staying young.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You've got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams, you die!” She said.“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up.Anybody can grow old.That doesn't take any ability.” She added.“But to grow up, you have to find the chance in change.Here no regrets.We usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.” ‎ One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep.She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be what you can possibly be.‎ ‎46.Why did the old woman go to college at such a late age? ‎ A.Because she wanted to meet handsome young men.‎ B.Because she wanted to meet rich man and get married.‎ C.Because she wanted to travel around the world.‎ D.Because she had always dreamed of a college education.‎ ‎47.What did the old woman love to do? ‎ A.She loved being icon.‎ B.She loved to wear beautiful clothes.‎ C.She loved to pay attention to other students.‎ D.She loved to speak at the party.‎ ‎48.What’s the secret of staying young according to the old lady? ‎ A.You have to laugh every day.

Should I keep going?”‎ A long way from 12 now,I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately,though,I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next:to be proud of and believe in, somebody else.It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our ‎ children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don’t retreat because they’re afraid to fail.They’re only afraid of failing us.They don’t worry about being disappointed.Their fear-as mine was until my father’s letter-is of being a disappointment.‎ Give your children permission to succeed.They’re waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me.But trust me.That belief will be more complete,that love will be more real,and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry;you’ll do something great.” ‎ Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.‎ ‎61.Why did the father write a letter to the author? (no more than 20 words)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎62.What did the father mainly want the author to learn from his letter? (no more than 15 words)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎63.What does the underlined word “retreat” mean?
