14．　　On the first day of college, I stood up to look around when a hand touched my shoulder. I turned around and found an old lady. She smiled at me and said, "Hello, my name is Rose. I'm eighty﹣seven years old. "I was surprised and asked, "Why are you in college?"
　　"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!"she told me. After class we walked together and shared what we had. We became good friends.
　　Rose became a campus icon(偶像). In our school, almost everyone loved her and studied from her. She easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to make a speech. I'll never forget what she taught us. She said, "There are some secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a great 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 the opportunity in change. "
　　One week after graduation Rose died peacefully. Over two thousand college students attended her Funeral. They came to honor the wonderful woman who taught that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

15．　　I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to control myself.
　　Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.
　　In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.
　　I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. Maybe I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book! "
　　But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying?My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. I'd rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let herself feel anything at all.
　　I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think I was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more﹣that bored and sad girl. I'd rather be this girl who is able to forgive(原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

16．　　Vienna is a beautiful old city on the River Danube in the center of Europe. It's the capital city of Austria and the center of European classical music. In the 18th century a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.
　　In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss:the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.
　　Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.

17．根据上下文内容, 将文中画线部分译成汉语或者英语.
　　(1)回首过去的三年，我仍记得许多的事。
　　I got a chance to act the main character. Our play was about a village girl called Mulan. (2)She dressed up like a boy and took her father's place to fight in the army. The play showed her love for her family, friends and country. Another boy from Group 1 played the emperor in The Emperor's New clothes. We laughed loudly, especially in the last scene, (3)皇帝光着身子穿过城市。Everyone said his new clothes were beautiful. But the young boy told the truth. The one touching me most was the acting competition which I took part in last year. That was a special competition between Group 1 and ours. It was about a Chinese traditional story and a western country story.
　　All the students watched the excellent performance given by the two groups. I did a good job at the play show and we had a really good time. (4)It is difficult not to cry when we miss the wonderful days of our school life. It is true that we will leave our school soon. (5)Though I will set out on my new journey, I won't forget my old days.

18．　　If you put a buzzard(秃鹰) in a pen six to eight feet(英尺)square and completely open at the top, the bird, in spite of(不顾)its ability to fly, will be a prisoner(囚犯). The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small prison with no top.
　　The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble (身手敏捷的) creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about(拖着脚走)helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation(海拔, 高度)from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
　　A bumblebee , if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but keeps trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will look for a way where none exists(存在)until it completely destroys itself.
　　 In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about(挣扎)with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
