Working out which colleges to apply for can be one of the most difficult decisions any high schooler can face, but Alena got it all out of the way early as she’s only 13 and already has her medical school offer.
The application process for the medical school was “super stressful”, but she was adamant to follow her dreams regardless of what anyone said, even if it was “no”. “If I could say anything to another little girl that looks like me: never stop believing and don’t give up on your dreams just because somebody tells you ‘no’. You can do anything that you put your mind and your heart to,” she said.
Alena is the youngest African American person to get into a US medical school, and the second-youngest person overall.
Alena didn’t just wake up one day and decide to go to the medical school while in middle school — she’s a child genius. By the time she was 11 she’d already taken several high school courses. When Alena turned 12, she graduated from high school and is currently enrolled(注册)in online classes at Arizona State University.
If all goes to plan for Alena, she’ll start studying to be a doctor at age 15, in 2024, and graduate when she’s 18 when other of her age are preparing for their freshmen year at college. Although she’s so young, age is “not a big deal” to her and she is just a normal kid.
She explained, “I’m in honors choir, I’m in cheerleading and I play soccer. I hang out at the mall with my friends like a 13-year-old does, and I also go to the movies and go swimming with them. I’m very structured and very disciplined.”
24. Why does the author mention the high schoolers’ college application?
A. To show how fortunate Alena is. B. To explain high schoolers’ difficult life.
C. To present preferences of high schoolers. D. To stress how unusual Alena is to get the offer.
25. What does the underlined word “adamant” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Determined. B. Qualified. C. Innocent. D. Patient.
26. What can be inferred about Alena?
A. She is now studying in a high school. B. She is taking online university classes.
C. She will become a doctor at the age of 15. D. She is the youngest to get into a US medical school.
27. Which of the following can best describe Alena’s life?
A. Stressful but hopeful. B.Cheerful but meaningless.
C.Rich and colorful. D.Simple and free.
C
Consumers in the U.S. spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping. Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it. So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.
In the first experiment, we involved 180 students, who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams, the local Miami Heat or rival(竞争对手)Orlando Magic. Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn’t support the Magic. We gave half of the students a desirable gift, while the others received something they disliked. Finally, half of the gifts were wrapped neatly, while the rest looked sloppy(凌乱的).
We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.
To understand why, we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts. However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations, while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed(超过)their expectations.
In our final experiment, we surveyed 261 adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend, while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance(熟人). Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.
When it came from a close friend, receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more. However, for the gift from an acquaintance, receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped. This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.
So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season, consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’ gifts haphazardly(随意地). But for someone you don’t know quite as well, it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.
28. What did the researchers find in the first experiment?
A. A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.
B. Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.
C. A sloppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.
D. Partic
