On the first day of school, our professor introduced a special classmate, a little old lady to us.

“Hi, my classmates. I'm Rose, eighty-seven years old." We all laughed when hearing this.

“Of course you laugh!” She stopped for a while. “Why are you in college? That’s because you are at such a young age, But I'm here just because I am not young.”

Over the course of the year, Rose became a model in the college. Everyone knew her and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to learn about anything that the young likes.

At the end of the school year, we invited Rose to speak at our dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.

“We do not stop learning because we are young; we grow old because we stop learning. So please be happy and stay young. You can find humor every day. There are so many people walking around who are dead because they don't even know it! There is a great difference between growing older and growing up.

Answer the questions （根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

Some people are standing at a group of low hills in West Texas. Suddenly, they observe glowing reddish - orange lights. Are they the headlights of cars on the highway? Are they the lights of campfires? The people shout and point because the lights are moving! But they aren’t moving the way cars move. They shoot up in the air. They fall back to the earth. And then ... they simply disappear!

Every night, people go to observe the famous Marfa lights. The lights are named for the town of Marfa, Texas, where these lights can be seen in the distant hills east of the town. Over the years there have been many beliefs about these strange lights. One theory is that the lights are the headlights of cars driving down the road.

But that could not be true. Settlers in the 1880s wrote about the lights long before there were cars with headlights. At that time, pioneers thought the Marfa lights were the campfires of Apaches2 in the hills. When the pioneers would ride into the hills, they could find no evidence3 of campsites of fires. Later, the settlers learned that the Apaches, too, could see the lights. They thought the lights were stars that had come down the earth.

Some people say that the lights are moonlight shining on metal in the hills. Others say they are made by gases from swamps4. Some scientists have tried to prove that lights from planets or starts reflect5 in a strange way on the hills. That doesn’t help us understand why the lights “dance”. They move up and down, slow down and speed up. These dancing “stars”, the Marfa lights, stay a mystery.

1theory:thoughts or beliefs about a set of facts

1.What colour are the Marfa lights?

2.How do the Marfa lights get the name?

3.Why do many people go to observe Marfa lights every night?

4.Were the strange lights seen earlier or later than the invention of cars with headlights?

5.What does the underlined word THAT in Paragraph 4 refer to?

6.Why does the writer say “the Marfa lights, stay a mystery?” Give your opinions.
