I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile.She said, "Hi, handsome.My name is Rose.I'm eighty-seven years old." "Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?" I asked.She replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel." I knew she was joking.I was curious what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a university education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.We became friends.Every day we would talk nonstop after class.I always enjoyed listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech.She cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.I've learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You've got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams, you die." "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older. _ doesn't take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change..."

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers later in life. J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out. Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do _ work. This kind of passion finally led him to become President of the United States. The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist. Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it's all a matter of how hard you try. Question: _ was a teacher before he (she) became famous. Options: A: Vincent Van Gogh B: Ronald Reagan C: J. K. Rowling D: Harry Potter
