I don't realize that I've been at college for nearly one and a half years until now. Looking back into the last year, what shall I say? It consisted of both happiness and sadness. Life always goes like this, up and down, as is so exciting. Now when I recall the past, no matter how I felt at that time, they are all treasures for me.

That was the moon festival last year, which was also the first time we went out after we entered the college. It was said that the sea in Dalian was well­known and was also a wonderful place to watch the moon. After getting all the food and drink ready, we four girls set off for the seaside. There were many people and we picked up a less crowded beach. At first, we enjoyed ourselves by drinking and eating. When the moon turned brighter, we played with the seawater. As a result, we were all drenched with water. Bathing in the moonlight, we ran and laughed. We seemed to land on another world, where it was full of fresh air, laughter and love. The laughter is still echoing in my mind so far.

Life doesn't stay the same, occasionally having a particular taste. That is sadness. What impressed me deeply is a failure in a singing competition. It was the first time I had given a performance on such a large stage in front of so many people. I was so nervous that the whole song was performed out of tune. As you could imagine, I was greeted with boos from the audience. I still remembered how dismal I felt that moment and I sat alone crying at the seaside. After that, I talked to mother about it. She told me that it was not a failure; at least, I was brave enough to show myself publicly.

Everything has passed. I've stored them at the bottom of my heart. I am in the second grade already. Yet much needs me to challenge. On the way, there's both happiness and distress. However, I will go ahead just all the same.

When Emma Yang was 7 or 8 years old, her grandmother became increasingly forgetful. Over the next few years, those memory problems, caused by early Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默病), worsened. Yang, who learned to code at an early age, decided to create an app to help.

Her app is called Timeless. Alzheimer's patients can scroll through photos of friends and family, and the app will tell them who the person is and how they're related to the patient using facial recognition technology. If a patient doesn't recognize someone in the same room, they can take a picture and the technology will also try to automatically recognize them.

The app also includes a simple reminder screen that lists appointments for the day, and a simple contacts screen that shows photos of family members along with names. A "me" page shows the patient's own name, age, phone number, and address.

The app is still in development, and Yang doesn't yet have evidence that it will work. But she is optimistic that it can help. She says, "A lot of times people think that it's not going to help, or the elderly can't really use the technology, but in fact, if you introduce it to them, it's actually a possibility that it can really benefit their lives."

Scrolling through the labeled photos, Katherine Possin says, can be a type of social activity for the patients, helping keep family members and friends in mind. It can also strengthen memory. "I think it can be very helpful for patients to recall memories that are important to them and make them stronger and more flexible in the face of the disease."

I was born in Mississippi in the 1960s. My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I was a five­year­old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P. E. class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn't fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.

In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she had made a major stroke (中风) and died. My dad became even more distant (冷淡的). I was very sad and began using alcohol to relieve the pain.

Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watch the house. When my high school ball came around，I wanted to go but wasn't allowed. When I graduated，my dad and stepmom refused to hold a party for me. They put me in a group home after graduation.

My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self­advocacy (自我辩护) Group. At first, I thought the group wasn't for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment (授权)！My goal is to be the voice for people who haven't been heard and to empower them. Many families, like mine, don't believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.

Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I'm proud that I've helped disabled people. They should be encouraged never to give up and to follow their own path.

Throughout college, a majority of students live with one or more roommates.  Here's a four­step plan to help you survive at the foundation of your school social life: your dormitory.

Make contact.

A proper introduction sets the tone of the relationship. Breaking the ice early gives you a head start to deal with some future problems. So, once you get your roommate's name and contact information, put it to good use by shooting him an e­mail or a Facebook friend request. If you're feeling particularly brave, pick up the phone and dial the number.

Meet and greet.

 Plus, it makes things a lot less awkward on move in day because you'll have one more familiar face. So, if your roommate lives nearby, there's no excuse not to get together. But don't give up on meeting if you are living far. There's always video chat.

Set rules.

You should discuss each of your expectations about staying up and waking up, partying, having guests over, cleanliness and borrowing each other's things. There is no better time than the present to voice your opinion or make some compromises.  That can lead to heated arguments.

Start your roommate relationship with a positive attitude, but realize that not all roommates can get along very well. And you don't need to fake it. If you follow all the above steps and it turns out you're still like oil and water, hey, it happens.

A. Reach out.

B. Keep it real.

C. It's time to lay down the law.

D. It's better than letting problems build up later.

E. It's a good chance to make a first impression.

F. You must learn to live with them in harmony.

G. Actually, getting to know your roommate is your best choice.

I never went to university but always thought about it. The only way I 1 it was listening to my children talk about the interesting classes they were taking. University was just a lifelong 2 of mine. I just turned sixty­four years old. I still thought about that old dream   3 one day when there was an Advanced­Age 4 at the local university. I decided to 5.

My first day of school finally arrived. As I drove there, my mind was filled with 6 thoughts, "What am I doing？The 7 will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won't live long enough 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 slowed down a little and read the words，"Live your dreams. "Was Kermit talking about me？I didn't turn the car around.

I drove a little 9 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.

13 the gate of the university, I found there 14 still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud woman. Under the picture was her name, Nola Otis, aged 95, the oldest university graduate. Below it were the words, "Live Life". At that moment, my outlook changed 15.

As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become  (confuse) about the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes. They grow  (tall) and their voices get deeper, among some other  (development).

Along  these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend  (be) different in this regard. Many boys become risk­takers — they want to find their own limits  the limits of the world around them,   but may not have the  (wise) to make good choices in their behavior.  the same time, girls often want to find someone to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings.

In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need the love of  (they) parents', yet feel distant. They often question who they are and  they fit in society.

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, "I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp" and walked away.

With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.

"Tom!" she cried. "Help!"

No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.

Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.

As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter (直升飞机)r. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

注意：1）续写词数应为150左右；

2）请按如下格式作答。

But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.

……

It was daybreak(佛晓) when Jane woke up.
