Question

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(拥抱)?”

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,” 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 semester(学期) we invited Rose to      at our party. I’ll never foget what she

“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,       rather for things we did not do.”
