Tom is a young man. He has a very big dog and he has a very small car, too. He likes playing tennis. Today he plays tennis for two hours at the club and then he wants to go home by car. His dog comes after him, but it does not jump into the same car. It jumps into the next car. "Come here, foolish(愚蠢的) dog!" Tom shouts at it, but the dog still stays in the next car. Tom puts his key into the lock（锁）of the car, but the key does not turn（转动）. Then he looks at the car again. It is not his car! He is in the wrong car! And the dog is in the right car!

    On the first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out， we found an old woman appeared at the door. She said， "Hi， my name is Susan， I'm seventy years old." While we were1what made her take this challenge (挑战) at her age， she said with a smile， "I/m here to meet a rich husband， get2 ， have two children and travel together. "Hearing this， all of us laughed. "In fact，" she went on， " I always3of having a college education， and now I'm getting one!"

    After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good4. I often listened to this "time machine" as she shared her study with me.

    At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a5. When she was stepped up to the front， suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated (沮丧的) and said， "I'm sorry. I'm so nervous that I can't get my ready talk back ， so I have to tell you 6 I know. "In her speech she told us， "We don't stop playing as we are old， we grow old because we stop playing. The secret of staying 7 ， being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something 8every day. I think there is a great9between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I lie in bed for one full year and never do anything， I'll become seventy - one. Since anybody can grow older， my idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can't be avoided  ， growing up can be10 ， It's never too late to be all you can be possible. "

    During the four years' study， it was so easy for Susan to make friends wherever she went. In the end， the wonderful woman got a college degree.

    A 50-year-old American officer(官员)came back to his school. The teacher asked him to give a talk to the small boys and girls there. The talk was about the love of their great country. All the little ones were sitting in a large meeting-room. The old officer went up and began speaking. He said, "Boys and girls, I studied in the school forty years ago. When l was your age, we were not as happy as you are today. Think about it and answer me, why are you so happy now?"

    No sound came from the children. The old marl waited for a long time. Then a short boy in the front put up his small dirty hand. "Good boy! Please answer me, dear, "said the officer.

    With a big smile on his face, the boy stood up and said. "If you speak long enough, we won't have math and biology(生物)lessons this morning."

    Yesterday afternoon Mr. Brown wanted to catch the 1:30 flight to New York to have an important meeting. At 4:30, Mrs Brown, his wife, got his phone call and he said that he was still at the airport.

    "What happened to you?" Mrs Brown asked in surprise.

    "Well," Mr. Brown said. "Everything was fine at first. I got my ticket checked, took my bags and waited in line to get on the plane. While I was walking across the runway to the plane, I saw my friend Jack Scott—he was a flight attendant. I shouted to him and a policeman caught me."

    "But why?"

    "I don't know. As soon as he heard my shout, he ran towards me and caught me."

    "What did you shout to your friend?"

    "All I said was 'Hi, Jack' ; you know that's the usual way we say hello to our friend."

    "But the sentence 'Hi, Jack' also means to take control of a plane by force(武力). Don't you know?"
