At 63，Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree— and his master's degree，too.The student arrived early，sat front and center，and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I'd say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my undergraduate communications class at California State University，Los Angeles.He eagerly jumped into class discussions，with his modest humor and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students' views，as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one，too.
Valencia always said that these students gave him the confidence and joy that he didn't need to feel bad about his age.
One day，I found Valencia sitting on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year.By then，he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs he used to take to pay for his tuition.But he said he would still come to campus to attend events，see his friends and take the final exams.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in my communications class.
"Sure，" I said.
Soon there he was again，back at his old desk，front and center，jumping into our discussion s on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in my class.
For an assignment on changing neighborhoods，Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain restaurant that was"unceremoniously（随便地） closed".He called it as a theft of childhood."It is almost as if someone has stolen that childhood and replaced it with a slippery hill where everything they cherish will slide away，"he wrote.A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't pay that semester's tuition.However，he was still making his efforts to do the homework well.

【答案】In my eyes，Valencia is an old man with strong will.Seeing Valencia showed up and took the final exam，I felt relieved.There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia's determination to get a four-year degree and then a master's.So after the exam I had a chat with him with curiosity.Valencia said he wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree，but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college，so he had a long way to go.
I was pretty astonished when hearing what he had said.I needed to know more.With smiles on his face，he told his story.Life was not easy for young Valencia.But he has always been full of desire for learning.He went to school while making money.After unremitting efforts，he was finally admitted to the college.He felt excited and happy.In the years that followed，Valencia struggled to finish college.Valencia's grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts.But I'm giving him an A- and in the most important ways，it counts.

1．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me "Dream is priceless".However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect（前景）of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage， "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

2．Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not even possible for her，since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？
"Oh，yes…，but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock？she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

3． One day，when I was a first-year student in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（书呆子）."
I had quite a weekend planned（parties and a football game with my friends），so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking，I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him，knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up，and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses，I said，"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out，he lived near me，so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before，but we talked all the way home，and I carried his books.
