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: ne ver 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 kids 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.”
4. 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.
5. What does the underlined word “adamant” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Determined.
B．Qualified.
C．Innocent.
D．Patient.
6. 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.
7. 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.

The Chong Yang Festival has a history of over 2,000 years. It comes on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, so it is called the Double Ninth Festival.

Many parks, communities and organizations plan the activities for old people, such as an autumn trip, singing songs or sending presents to them.
