The first day of school a new classmate touched my shoulder, “Hi, I’m Rose. I am 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I turned around and found a little ______ lady with a warm smile. I said heartily, “Of course!”

“______ are you in college at such an age?” I asked.

She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married(结婚), have ______ and then travel around. ”

“You’re not seriously expecting me to believe that?” I said.

“I always ______ of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像) and she easily made friends. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention of the others. At the end of the term we invited Rose to our football party. I’ll never forget what she ______ .

“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Here are the ______ to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you ______ your dreams, you die! There’s a huge difference ______ growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. But ______ requires finding the chance in change. Have no regrets (遗憾). ”

One week after graduation(毕业) that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too ______ to be all you can possibly be.

Since last year, short videos have gotten millions of views online. Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. You can also add music and special effects (特效) to your videos. The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.

Teenagers enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of first and second year high school students said they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent have posted their own videos, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association.

The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn’t usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12-year-old user named Xiaoqianyu has posted (上传) videos showing her learning jazz dance. This has won her many fans.

But the videos can also bring trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and don’t spend enough time studying. Some videos have vulgar content (不好的内容) that is not good for teenagers’ mind.

To deal with (处理) this problem, Douyin added something new in April. It stops the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government also did something to stop vulgar content videos from video apps, The Beijing News reported.
