Question

 

 

 

     Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from her classmates is her    46    --73 years old.  She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.

     When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the    47    to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her   48    encouragement. He didn't think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be    49    doing housework or should work on the farm.     50    Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.

      Mrs. Hanson    51    forgot the dream of getting higher education. When the children

grown up, she    52    again and succeeded. In the class on her first day, when she introduced herself and    53    why she was there and what her aims were, all the other students   54   give her a warm welcome.

      Mrs. Hanson finds that the   55    part of going back to school at her age is sitting in class long periods of time. However, she often says she will stick to her dream no matter how difficult it is.
