题型：不详难度：来源：
When Susan White went back to high school a couple of years ago, she never had any thought about actually getting a high school diploma.
“I just wanted to learn more,” she said. But when she found out that many of her classmates were planning to graduate, Mrs. White recalled(回顾), “I said my young friends can graduate from high school, so can I.”
She seems to have been right. As soon as she finishes a history course, Mrs. White will graduate next month. And when she does, she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the United States.
Mrs. White is 98 years old and nobody has finished high school at an older age.
Mrs. White dropped out of school(退学) in the 10th grade, but her ability to learn has clearly not been reduced after she left school for 80 years. Since going back to her studies, she has kept up a straight record that is the highest possible.
Now that she is about to get a diploma, Mrs. White has become a strong believer in getting a good education.
“I don’t like anyone dropping out of school,” she said. “It makes me mad when a person decides to leave school, because future generations(后代) will have to know even more than we do in order to survive(生存)”.Mrs. White sets a good example of lifelong study!

试题分析：怀特夫人在两年前回到高中学习，在此之前，她没有想过要得到高中毕业证书。她返回学校上学，目的是想学更多的知识，下个月，她就要毕业了，她也创造了美国得到高中毕业证书年龄最大的人。她也是鼓励青年好好学习的榜样。
小题1:计算及细节理解题。问题：当怀特夫人多大年龄的时候，她辍学了？联系原文：Mrs. White dropped out of school(退学) in the 10th grade, but her ability to learn has clearly not been reduced after she left school for 80 years.句意：在第十个学年的时候，怀特夫人辍学了。但是，在她离开学校80年的时间里，她学习的能力没有减少。联系下文，她现在是98岁，减去80等于18，因此，她辍学的时间是在大约18岁的时候。故选B
小题2:细节理解题。问题：有多少学生比怀特夫人得到毕业证的年龄更大？联系原文：when she does, she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the United States.句意：她所做的，在美国，她是得到高中毕业年龄最大的人，为此也是创造了一个新记录。因此她是得到毕业证年龄最大的人，没有比她的年龄更大了。故选 A
小题3:细节理解题。问题：下列描述哪一个是不正确的？联系原文：Now that she is about to get a diploma.句意：现在她马上就要得到毕业证书了。结合选项，第二项不正确。第二项描述的是她已经得到一个高中毕业证书了。故选B |

Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family" s expensive gold wrapping (包装 ) paper. Money was always not enough, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted ( 贴) the gold paper to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
The next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"
As he opened the box, the father was sorry for his earlier behavior.
But after he opened it, he found it was empty and again he was angry."Don" t you know, young lady, " he said, "when you give someone a present there"s supposed to be something inside the package!"
The little girl looked up at him with tears running from her eyes and said, "Daddy, it"s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."
When the father heard this, he fell on his knees and put his arm around his dear little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the year of his life. Whenever he was sad or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
