Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno made his dream of a lifetime come true: He got a university degree.

Mr. Paterno’s story has been reported around the world, partly because of his age. But he has also drawn attention because his life story speaks of belief. He has encouraged millions of children in Italy and elsewhere while they are facing difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic（新冠疫情）.

Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family. Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. It was only after he retired in the mid-1980s that he returned to his books.

“His story shows that dreams can come true and that you can remain young—not in age but in spirit—if you develop interests” said Rosella Cancila, his teacher of history at the University of Palermo.

Italy’s university system is based on a three-year degree, then a two-year master’s course. University officials are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies.     △      “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bit tired. Still, Mr. Paterno said that he would probably try to get his master’s degree but he hadn’t decided yet.

Scientists, from Nature studied 20 years of satellite data of the world’s 220, 000 mountain glaciers, and found that since 2015, glaciers have last 298 billion metric tons off ice and snow per year.

【答案】例文：

Dear Eric,

I’m glad to hear that you’ll come to China and say in my home. Here I’d like to tell you different rules in different places.

At home, we must do some housework. We can’t stay up late because it’s bad for our health. At school, we must wear school uniforms from Monday to Friday, and I think it is good for us because uniforms can make us look energetic and smart. And we are not allowed to use mobile phones in class. When we are waiting for the bus, we should wait in line and we have to wear a mask. It’s impolite to make too much noise in public place.

The golden rule to follow is: In China, do as the Chinese do. I hope you’ll have a good time in China.

Yours,

Li Hua
