What do elderly people do to the university？
How long has Ethbell taught minority students？
听力原文： After retiring from 30 years of teaching, Ethbell Pepper could easily have decided to sit back and relax and enjoy a peaceful retirement. But that kind of life is not for Ethbell Pepper. "I just want to do something different. If you are going to participate in life, do it. Don't just sit down and look out of the window." She says. At 68, she decided to become one of the pioneer participation in a program in the University of California. The program offers campus housing and classes to people over sixty. She enrolled in a class called Human Relationships and Diverse Society. "I have taught my minority students in my English and drama classes in high school for 20 years. But in this course, I found out a lot about other cultures I didn't know then. One of the most important lessons that I'm learning is to perceive, not to judge." Older adults can add to the educational resources at the university by bringing with them a lot of valuable experience. Their presence on campus helps break some long believes of aging. Young students may have fears of growing older. But that kind of fear can be reduced as they see that older people can be active, healthy, and continue to contribute to society. The younger students can begin to see aging as a natural part of living.
What did Ethbell do when she was 68？
For the【C1】______month, mysterious falls of large chunks of ice(冰雹)【C2】______rained down on Spain and Italy. Juana Sanchez, a 70-year-old woman in Almeria, southern Spain, was knocked
【C3】______when she was struck on the shoulder by a falling ice chunk【C4】______she walked in a street【C5】______her home. On January 12, just about 200 miles away in Seville, a man narrowly【C6】______serious injury when a 9-pound ball of ice【C7】______into his car.【C8】______the evening of January 27 priests at the Salesian monastery in L'Aquila, Italy were startled by a loud crash.【C9】______the noise, they discovered a large chunk of ice on their yard,【C10】______intact. Upon examination, the block of ice【C11】______in at 2 kilograms and no source【C12】______. On the same day, about 100 miles northeast in Ancona, Italy, the local officials were called to investigate the report of a man【C13】______was struck【C14】______the head by all kilogram chunk of ice that apparently fell from the sky.
Spain and Italy aren't the only European【C15】______getting attacked by huge ice blocks in January. On January 2 in Surrey, England(southwest of London), an East Indian man was walking through Newton Athletic Park when he【C16】______a strange whistling sound overhead. Seconds【C17】______,a large hunk of ice fell out of the clear blue sky and pounded into the soft ground, shattering over a 50-foot-wide area. The ice dug a hole of a foot deep and a foot in diameter. Even the shattered remains of the mystery ice were as large as tennis balls and were described as opaque【C18】______no unusual color or smell.
Although eyewitnesses to the phenomenon report that they did not see anything in the sky that could account【C19】______the ice, scientists had to come up with a rationalization. Professor Jesus Martinez Frias, the geologist investigating the ice falls in Spain, told BBC News that the ice pieces had probably been【C20】______through sudden temperature drops in the stratosphere. This was the most likely explanation, he said, for the "very unusual" phenomenon.
