25、On the first day of school, our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a little old lady looking up at me with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed, “Of course! Why are you in college at such a young, innocent(幼稚的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children and then travel around.”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious(好奇的) why she took on this challenge at this age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education, and now I’m getting one,” she told me.

We became friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk for hours. Listening to this human “time machine” as she shared her years of wisdom(智慧) and experience with me was so interesting.

Over the year, Rose became a campus icon(校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. 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 a few secrets to 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. There are many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it,” she said.

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. People usually don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”

Rose taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

【1】Rose went to college because she ________.

A．wanted to live longer
