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.
