It was the first day of school. I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile.
She said, “Hi, young man! I'm Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? ”
I said , “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at an age?” I asked.
She joked, “I'm here to meet a husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.”
“No, seriously(严肃地),” I asked.
“I always of having a college education. Now I'm getting one!” she told me.
After a year, Rose became popular. She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from .
At the end of the term we invited Rose to give a at our party. I'll never forget what she taught .
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow because we stop playing. Here are the of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every . You've got to have a dream. When you your dreams, you die!” she said.
“There is a big between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn't take any talent or ability,” she added. “But to , you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don't have regrets for what we did , for things we did not do.”
Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One week graduation ( 毕业), she died peacefully（平静地） in her sleep. She taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

I wanted a(n) but I wondered if there was any. Just then, I saw the DVD again. Maybe it would be helpful. I turned on my DVD player. I had no words to describe the feelings I experience I was watching it. I would not forget the moving (感人的)stories I watched that day.
Thanks to my father’s gift THE SECRET. I discovered (发现) myself. Everybody has difficulties in their lives. The important thing is that you should be enough to face them running away from them.

It is two months since MH730 first went missing in the early hours of March 8th, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing．Malaysia Airlines said it was terribly sorry that MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean．People are losing hope that the passengers on the could return alive and realize they should know how to save themselves when accidents like this happen in the air．
1985, an Australia professor, Ed Galea, has interviewed 2,000 survivors of 105 airplane accidents, searching for the keys to survival（n．幸存）and found out golden rules after years of research．
First, make sure that the airline does not keep your family members too far away on the plane, if you are traveling in family group． ? It’s natural that while feeling in danger, you’ll probably want to meet the family before you can calmly move out．
Second, how do you untie（解开）your seat belt on a plane? By lifting a latch． you can’t untie your seat belt, you can hardly run away and your chances of survival will drop．
Third, the to the exits（逃生口）, the more likely you are to survive．Count exactly how many rows you are from the nearest two exits．Why two exits? Because this helps you find at least even in the sudden dark during an accident．
Fourth, we would be safer if airline seats faced backward, according to Galea’s research．But the problem is that most of the passengers traveling with their back facing the direction of travel．
Fifth, “Smoke is dangerous to your health．If you take in too much of it, your will die,” explains Galea．You must learn how to use a smoke mask．Without the knowledge of putting on a mask, you’ll time trying to put it on—time that could be used to run away．
At last, listen to the flight attendants before flying and look at everything shown on a video or a safety card．Always be prepared．Good luck to you．
