I wasn't into fashion, preferred reading to sports, had difficulty talking to boys. Therefore, the first year of high school hadn't been kind to me. I had no close friends. I mostly kept to myself with iny head buried in a book.Ashley was very different from me. She was outspoken and fashionable. She was quite popular. These were qualities I knew nothing about. We had always been in the same classes throughout school, but had never talked much.During summer school, we were both taking classes. The teacher paired us up on an assignment. We met at the library to work on the project and really got well. Of course, Ashley did most of the talking. When classes ended we continued to hang out.I looked up to Ashley; she was all of the things I thought I wanted to be. I began listening to the music she listened to, wearing the clothes she wore. I quit reading and started watching the TV programs Ashley watched. I even tailored my sophomore （大二）year schedule to her interests. I decided to take art class even （hough I had really wanted to take theatre.When we started school again, Ashley introduced me to her group of friends, the4tcool girls." She was the leader of their group. Finally I ft in. 1 followed them around, laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions. I didn,t say much. I wouldn't want them to think that I was being rude by disagreeing. This continued for several months.One day, I overheard Ashley and her friends were talking about me.“She's such a loser,4* one girl said to the group."Ashley, she just follows you around trying to be you. She copies you;she doesn't have a personality of her own.”Then Ashley replied11! know, I wish she would leave us alone.

On the one hand, in that case, your school will provide online courses, whereby you can study at home online. On the other hand, as you arc on the same boat with your classmates, it serves as a test of self-discipline, which helps you learn to study alone with the absence of peers' pressure and teachers' supen ision. You may as well take this chance to outperform others.Hope you lighten up and get well soon.Yours,Li Hua 47.1 stood rooted to the spot, feeling mortified and heartbroken. My hands were shaking, my face felt hot, and my eyes began to wet with uncontrollable tears. How had this happened? I thought wc were friends. I didn't know Ashley thought of me in that way. I couldn't stay there and listen any more. 1 ran home and told my mother what had happened. She just held me while I sobbed for hours. After I calmed down, she patted my head and said gently, “Just be yourself and people will like you fbr who you are”Hearing my mom's advice, 1 decided I was going to stop crying and discover who I was. Ashley and I didn'tspeak any more after that. Over the next month, I went through a lot of changes. I rediscovered reading, and developed my own opinions. I never again just followed the crowd. I dropped art class and joined theatre. I began making new friends who liked me for who I was. The friends I made in theatre are still my great friends to this day. When I look back, I consider it a gift. What they said about me was true. If 1 hadn't been given the chance to realize it, I might have been too concerned with “fitting in“ to experience some of the best times of my life.听下面一段对话，回答第8至第9小题。8.

I knew studying abroad would be key to my success, so I was extremely excited when I won a scholarship to attend a British university for graduate school. But there was one condition: I needed to take an English test. I was fluent in Arabic and French, the languages spoken in Algeria, but I didn't have a solid grasp of English. I learned it hard but didn't score high enough to secure entrance. I had to stay in Algeria to complete a master's degree instead. But I kept learning English on my own. Two years later, I earned a Ph. D. scholarship to study in Switzerland.Midway through my Ph. D. a professor remarked, u You arc quite productive, but why don't you publish in the regular journals in our field? " Shocked, I responded,What do you mean by regular journals? ” He gave a few examples of all journals dominated by researchers from the Global North. I had been publishing my papers in specialized, low-impact journals. That was counted as a great achievement in my home country, where even professors struggle to get published. Now, I realized that the scientific accomplishments abroad I was proud of were regarded as below average at best. The professor's comment heartened me to adjust my research to address issues of broader interest. By the time I graduated, I had started publishing in so-called “ regular "journals, which helped me land a postdoctoral degree in Canada. I told all this to the members of my lab, adding that they were privileged to grow up speaking English and have access to tremendous expertise and funding. Facing global inequities, I,ve started to try using a preprint sener to integrate an English language proofing （校对）system into its platform, which would connecl authors who need language help. We can take steps to make the global scientific community more inclusive. And I want to be part of that push for change.4. Why was the author unable to go to a British university?A. She didn't learn English.B. She failed the English test.C. She lacked a master's degree.D. She got the lowest entrance score.5. What docs the author think of the comment of the professor in Switzerland?A. Inspiring.B. Heartless.C. Regular.D. Confusing.6. What's the aim of the preprint server?A. To establish an English language proofing system.B. To set up a platform where English authors write.C. To make the global community more inclusive.D. To aid those who need help with language. 7. Which words can best describe the author?A. Honest and athletic.B. Humble and considerate.C. Strong-willed and positive.D. Energetic and sympathetic.CBoston wants to be smarter. The city has taken advantage of technologies to become more responsive to its residents' needs. But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities liveable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life.Kris Carter rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014. It started with an App that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city sorted out those reports and ranked them in a database, which repair crews used to prioritize their work.The system worked beautifully, except for one problem: most of the alerts（警报）came from wealthier neighborhoods, where the concentration of smartphone - equipped residents was highest. " The complaints from the App didn't always correlate with the greatest community need for repairs," explains Carter.Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy（精通技术的）residents drive the process. Instead, they run meetings to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving. When it came to sidewalks, Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips, hiring people to get out and walk （he city's 1,700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition.Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to continually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives. Take the sidewalk repair program, walking on the streets was proved a useful, if inefficient way to prioritize repair needs. But last year the group found that walkers' mobile phones could be tracked as they moved alo
