七、阅读短文，回答问题（10分）
The writing task was posted on the blackboard for my ninth-grade students: “What is the perfect age in your heart, and why would you like to be that age?” I hoped this writing task would help them think about their life goals. I could tell by their expressions that maybe this would work. After I collected their papers, the children also waited excitedly for me to read their thoughts.
Hilda wished to reach my age. She said she would like to be a ninth-grade teacher and share warm happy moments, have fun with her students just like I do every day. I was glad my daily work with the kids impressed her so much.
Most students dreamed of being 25 to 28. They believed people could achieve great success at this stage. Some of them hoped to be football players, play for well-known clubs and compete around the world. Jorge planned to earn money to buy his mom a new house with a bedroom for each member of the family. That would be eight bedrooms!
But I always remember Victoria’s story. Quiet and full of ideas, she spent ten minutes thinking carefully before writing lines that I still keep in mind. She held the view that all ages are perfect. Life arranges different stages for us to taste unique experiences: the first day in kindergarten, life-long friendships, college graduation, a satisfying job, raising kids and travelling after retirement (退休). Every period of life carries its own value.
1. Why did the writer give the writing task?
2. What did most teenagers expect to be 25 to 28?
3. According to Jorge, what did he want to do with his money?
4. Which idea from Victoria stays in the writer’s mind?
5. What is the perfect age in your heart? Why do you think so?

假如你班将开展“我推荐大家向×××学习”的讨论。请撰写一篇100词左右的英语演讲稿，推荐你心中的英雄，介绍其事迹并说明推荐理由。开头已给出，不计入总词数。

I recommend that all of us learn from .
答案：I recommend that all of us learn from Zhang Guimei.
Some people spend their whole lives doing important things, and Zhang Guimei is such a person. When she saw many mountain girls drop out of school, she decided to take action to help them. She even started a free high school for girls in Yunnan and has fought for girls' education for years.
Zhang Guimei once said people should do something while they're alive, and she truly did that—not for money or praise. From her, I learn that a meaningful life is more about giving than receiving. We should follow her example and try our best to help others.
