On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder(肩膀). “Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”
“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”she replied. Rose became a college symbol(象征) this year and she easily on her from the other students.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old, we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor(幽默) every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose you dreams, you die!”she said.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do anything, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.
She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live then out in our daily lives.
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college education she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose did peacefully in her sleep.

Do you believe in love at the first sight? Many people answer "No, we don’t", but I say I do.why? I’ll tell you my story.
From childhood, I like people with blue eyes. I had a few dolls and I painted their eyes blue. I was really very happy with my blue-eyed dolls. Time rushes by quickly, and soon I was not a child any more. I had finished my studies as I was 20.
I liked to drive my father’s old car. Once I went to a nearby town .I was busy that day.I left my car near the office where I had to go. In a few minutes, I came back and a young policeman was waiting for me near my car. I was not happy to see him. He tried to explain that I had parked my car in the wrong place, but I couldn’t pay my attention to his words. I had to stare at his beautiful blue eyes. He repeated his words but I did not bear him well. He became serious and began to speak in a loud voice.I paid him the fine(罚款)and I said to him" Your eyes are so nice."
He smiled and said goodbye to me.
In the evening this blue-eyed policeman called me up. The following day we went to the cinema. After that, my story has a happy ending. We married and we now live happily together.

You don’t need to speak French to understand the Parisians. You just need to know how to make gestures. A new guide has come out by French tourism officials, which is to help foreign visitors understand Parisians with a list of commonly used gestures like “shut up”. “If you use them the next time when you’re in Paris, people will start mistaking you for a native (当地人) in no time,” says the online guide at www.cestsoparis.com.
Some of the city’s rude native people in Paris have been a headache for the tourism authorities(旅游当局) for a long time.

Visitors can learn and get help from there.
The website includes the common gestures such as “Bof” and “Camembert”. “Bof” is used to mean “I don’t know” or “I disagree”, and “Camembert” is to tell someone to shut up.
