I’m someone who never went to university but always thought about it. The only 1 I got familiar with university was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 2 . University was just a life-long 3 of mine. I just turned sixty-four years old in September. I still thought about that old dream 4 one day when there was an Advanced-Age programme at the local university, I decided to 5 .
The day finally arrived—my first day of school. As I 6 there, my mind was filled with negative thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to university. The 7 will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won’t live long eno ugh to get a 8 . Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home. ”
Then, suddenly, I saw it!A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog.
I 9 a little and read the words next to his picture. “Live your dreams.” Was Kermit speaking to me? I didn’t turn the car around.
I drove a little further on up the highway and there was another 10 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 11 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence”. A new attitude was 12 inside me.
I was now 13 the gate of the university and there stood still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 14 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 15 , Nola Otis, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “Live Life”. At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

As human beings, we are alike in many ways. Yet 1 our similarities, no two people are exactly the same. Even identical twins 2 different life experiences. Just because of these 3 , the "one size fits all" solution will not be the most 4 answer to our problems.
One of my life 5 is to find what works for me best, and forget the rest. Just that something works well for someone else, doesn't 6 mean that it will work well for me too. I have found that I am successful when I 7 any new method or strategy I learned to deal with my 8 situation.
A perfect example of why it's best to find what works for you is when it 9 to trying to pick a diet and an exercise plan. There are 10 diet plans and exercise programs out there to
11 from, and it can be quite overwhelming(令人不知所措的). When choosing a 12 plan you have to consider food allergies, how portable the food is if you are away from home most of the time, and many other 13 . When choosing an exercise program you have to consider your starting level of fitness, and health issues that might adapt your ability to do the program, and 14 you actually enjoy the exercise enough to 15 with it. Many people like jogging, but it is probably my least 16 form of exercise. By finding more suitable and enjoyable alternatives（供替代的选择）that give me the same 17 or better, it is easier to stick with my exercise program.
You 18 yourself better than anyone, so don't be 19 to experiment with different solutions to whatever you are trying to achieve. Don't 20 use something because it is "the best", or because it works well for someone else. Find what works best for you, and forget the rest. 1．A．beyond B．above C．despite D．through 2．A．come up with B．put up with C．go on with D．end up with 3．A．differences B．similarities C．experiences D．characters 4．A．technical B．practical C．physical D．medical 5．A．solutions B．experiences C．emotions D．principles 6．A．unfortunately B．eventually C．necessarily D．immediately 7．A．refuse B．use C．examine D．discover 8．A．personal B．natural C．musical D．political 9．A．adds B．comes C．leads D．contributes 10．A．various B．unique C．boring D．colorful 11．A．take B．obtain C．choose D．learn 12．A．study B．diet C．exercise D．travel 13．A．factors B．journals C．branches D．programs 14．A．what B．which C．whether D．that 15．A．chat B．communicate C．agree D．stick 16．A．difficult B．harmful C．favorite D．expensive 17．A．grades B．results C．marks D．signs 18．A．observe B．express C．teach D．know 19．A．grateful B．pleased C．energetic D．afraid 20．A．just B．still C．yet D．already

Food has always been one of the greatest wants of humankind. The search for food is the 1 human behavior. Thus, 2 food were easier to get and prepare, it would be really 3 for humankind. It would reduce a great burden(负担). The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.
Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods. People today are so 7 that they are not able to spend enough time preparing their food. As a result, many people 8 to eat processed foods, ready-to-cook meals and various fast foods. But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children. That’s why health experts warn people not to eat too much of such 12 food.
Besides, since people spend little time 13 food, the culture of cooking is slowly 14 . Cooking is not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 home­cooked meal. What’s more, cooking is a great time for 19 to connect. There is a lot of 20 when family members are preparing food together.
In a word, I believe though processed food has made the preparation of food much easier, it has not been a good step for humankind.
