Many schools across the US hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even 5 and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as one of their own.
Mr. Reid sat into the “Hoo Crew,” a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a men's group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.
About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.[KS5UKS5UKS5U]
“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.
That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
“Remember that path that you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it. And, that's exactly what I did,” said Reid.
Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree.
1. Which of the following is true of Mr. Reid?
A. He was laughed at by other students.

3. What does Paragraph 6 mainly discuss?
A. How Mr. Reid realizes his dream.
B. What teachers think of Mr. Reid.
C. When Mr. Reid entered college.

C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

They may be teenagers,but 17-year-old Brittany Bull and 16-year-old Sesam Mngqengqiswa have grand ambitions—to launch Africa’s first private satellite into space.They are part of a team of high school girls from Cape Town,South Africa,who have designed and built equipment for a satellite that will orbit over the earth’s poles scanning Africa’s surface.
Once in space,the satellite will collect information on agriculture,and food security within the continent.Using the data,“we can try to determine and predict the problems Africa will be facing in the future”,explains Bull,a student at Pelican Park High School.“Where our food is growing,where we can plant more trees and vegetation and also how we can monitor remote areas,”she says.“We have a lot of forest fires and floods but we don’t always get out there in time.”Information received twice a day will go towards disaster prevention.
It’s part of a project by South Africa’s Meta Economic Development Organization(MEDO) working with Morehead State University in the US.
The girls (14 in total) are being trained by satellite engineers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology,in an effort to encourage more African women into STEM(science,technology,engineering,mathematics).
Scheduled to launch in May 2017,if successful,it will make MEDO the first private company in Africa to build a satellite and send it into orbit.
Mngqengqiswa comes from a single parent household.Her mother is a domestic worker.By becoming a space engineer or astronaut,the teenager hopes to make her mother proud.“Discovering space and seeing the Earth’s atmosphere,it’s not something many black Africans have been able to
do,or get the opportunity to look at.I want to see and experience these things for myself,”says Mngqengqiswa.
Her team mate Bull agrees,“I want to show to fellow girls that we don’t need to sit around or limit ourselves.Any career is possible—even aerospace.”
13.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Information provided by the satellite. B.The benefits brought by the satellite.
C.Problems African agriculture faces. D.The way the satellite collects information.
14.Why are the experts teaching the girls satellite technology?
A.To turn them into good farmers.
B.To help African women to live better.
C.To train employees for a private company.
D.To attract more African women to sci-tech fields.
15.What do you think of the girls in the text?
A.Ambitious and pioneering. B.Generous and considerate.
C.Independent and modest. D.Brave and tolerant.

Dear Tony,
How are things with you lately? I’m glad to tell you the plan for my winter holiday, which is approaching. Above all, I have got to finish all the assigned homework and do some reading as well.
The most exciting part is to celebrate the traditional Spring Festival by visiting relatives and close friends and even travelling near or far. Besides, I intend to take part in some meaningful volunteering activities organized by the community. Please send me an e-mail, sharing your plan for the winter vocation. OK?
Looking forward to it!
Yours sincerely,
