    Some time ago, a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn't know very well, invited me to call on him. It took me hours {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (get) there and I took great trouble finding a proper place to park my car. As I was already half an hour late, I parked my car quickly on a non-parking place. At noon, just as I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) my friend's office suddenly I had no idea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere! I had to walk down street after street and examined each car {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (close). I was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (disappoint) I was to discover that though the car was exactly {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my own, it belonged to someone else! I was very tired and went off for lunch. About half an hour later, I left the restaurant,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} was nearby, and walked down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me. But soon I felt down because a ticket {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(attach) to my car.

    To tell the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true), driving in crowded cities is far from being a pleasure. So walking or cycling{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) a good choice.

    On the first day of school our professor{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(introduce) Rose,a little old lady,to us."Why are you in college at such{#blank#}2{#/blank#}old age?"I asked later.She jokingly replied,"I'm here to meet a rich husband,get{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(marry),have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."

    At the end of the first term we invited Rose{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) a speech to our football team.She cleared her throat and began,"We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you lose your dreams, you will die.There is a huge difference{#blank#}6{#/blank#}growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they've done,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}rather for things they haven't done.The only people{#blank#}8{#/blank#}fear death are those with regrets."

    At the end of that year Rose finished the college degree.One week after graduation Rose died{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(peace) in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral（葬礼）to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's{#blank#}10{#/blank#}too late to be all you can possibly be.
