If you’re interested in pushing yourself academically while experiencing college life, our Summer Programs for Pre-College Students (SPP) can be ideal for you. In the programs, you will be able to make friends with fellow students, engage in social activities around the city and on campus, and experience pre-college summer study at one of the world’s top teaching and research universities.
Our long-running summer term pre-college offerings include a choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college. With five exciting and challenging pre-college summer programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area, perform cutting-edge research in university labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning.
Academic life
SPP invites you to join other highly motivated teens from 87 countries in our summer programs for high school students — and take the leap into college life and academics, which enables you to take on new academic challenges, explore a variety of interests and consider possible majors. You can take college courses alongside undergraduates either on campus or online. And you can also earn up to eight college credits by conducting in-depth STEM research with individual instructors or as part of a group project. Or, you can immerse yourself in a variety of stimulating noncredit seminars that blend lectures with experiential learning, discussions, and projects.
Campus/Residence life
Embracing college life is an exciting experience. Whether you live on campus or commute, you’ll get to know the ins and outs of college and city life. If you live on campus, you will stay in the residence hall, sharing a room and participating in dorm activities. There are typically two students per room and safety is our highest priority: residence halls have live-in university staff and 24-hour security. Resident program assistants provide guidance, coordinate and lead social activities, ranging from group activities that include comedy shows to field trips.

“I can’t connect with your characters.”
I kept hearing the same feedback and was unable to understand why and not sure what to do. I was a character-driven writer. How could I mess up the one thing I was supposed to be good at I was determined to convince my agent that these characters were real. After all, I knew they were real. My main character Lotus had lived inside me for years. I just needed to clarify her on the page.
I wrote and edited for a year, trying to respond to this agent’s feedback. But Lotus’ personality began to disappear. I tried to have her make “better” decisions, wear smarter fashion, and have more friends, as my agent said she acted “immature” and was “isolated”. And when this agent ultimately parted ways with me, I felt like I had failed. Now with time and distance, I realize I tried to fit Lotus into a neurotypical style lo please my agent. And as a result, Lotus lost her Lotus-ness.
When that agent discouraged me from writing Lotus as autistic （自闭的）, he said that would make Lotus seem more “vulnerable （脆弱的）” or an “obvious victim”. I didn’t want Lotus to seem vulnerable. Lotus’ autism is what makes her powerful, I tried to explain. But from a neurotypical perspective, Lotus’ autism could only be seen as a weakness.
Unsure of how to convince my agent of the strength and power autistic women hold, I began to write Lotus as “neurotypical”. And I failed miserably. After all, what do I know about being neurotypical My whole life, autism was my default. Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world was “normal”.
My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent （神经多样性的） experience. With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her. And when I did, the characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.
Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing. For so long, I’ve combatted the advice to “write what I know”, in part because I didn’t know what I actually knew. I didn’t know I was neurodivergent. But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience my writing is stronger. There is a power to our lived experience. It’s not a limitation on our craft, but a swinging open of the gates.
24．How did the author feel when receiving the repeated response from the first agent
A．Confused. B．Convinced. C．Determined. D．Disappointed.
25．Why did Lotus personality get lost
A．Lotus no longer lived inside the author. B．The author attempted to please the agent.
C．The agent failed to sympathize with Lotus. D．Lotus was considered childish and lonely.
26．What do we know about the author
A．She regretted parting with the agent. B．She owed her success in life to autism.
C．She was aware of her autism in the early years. D．She was empowered by her autistic experience.
27．What has the author learned from her own experience
A．Stick to your dream despite discouragement. B．Be true to yourself and write from your heart.
C．Giving in to authority is the barrier to success. D．Everyone is born an original instead of a copy.

At one time, the inheritance of traditional drama was difficult. People of insight screamed “save drama”. Many celebrities and big names put down their figures and went to the community to carry out public welfare performances of opera, and did everything possible to expand the coverage of drama. In recent years, traditional Chinese culture and art has gained a foothold on short video platforms and attracted a large number of young followers thanks to the explosive growth of the short video industry. Relaxing, emotional and fragmented, these video contents perfectly match the demands of the users. With the application of new technologies such as social communication and immersive experiencing, short video platforms are seeing more users, becoming a shining spot of new Internet media.
Recently, Huangmei Opera “Female Consort Prince” became a hit on short video platforms as a lot of young users covered the aria （咏叹调） in their own way and showed great artistic talents. The interactive platforms are expanding the charm of the traditional opera among young people.
Peking Opera was also well-received on short video platforms thanks to a series of augmented reality (AR) effects. Users love to film clips with a set of virtual facial makeup, headwear and costumes. Statistics indicate that these effects were applied by more than 18 million users, most of whom were young people.
In addition to Chinese operas, intangible cultural heritage items, such as embroidery, paper-cutting, printing and dyeing, shadow play works, oiled paper umbrella making, and bamboo weaving are also actively promoted on short video platforms. In a word, short video platforms are becoming an important channel to display China’s intangible cultural heritage.
Short video platforms, offering a fun, popular and easy way to explore the traditional art forms, are receiving a lot of positive feedbacks from China’s young generations. The seconds, or minutes long videos, along with unlimited possibilities as well as richness of styles, have produced remarkable achievements in promoting traditional Chinese culture.

Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme Top Gear discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said, “That’s quite a strange combination. It’s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly…tomorrow”.
This joke played on stereotypes （刻板印象） of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions （断言）. We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy
I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being “generally rather casual” and “more outwardly friendly than many European countries”. German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.
So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson’s joke, but not batting an eyelid （眨眼） when it comes to generalizations. What is the difference between the two
By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behavior that is typical of a certain group.
So what does this really mean Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist’s experience.
If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behavior which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings. In this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.
However, others argue that generalizing cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals.
All this raises important questions: can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups
32．What did Jeremy Clarkson mean by saying, “It’s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly…tomorrow”
A．The stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good.
B．The combination of half German and half Irish is interesting.
C．The characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are opposite.
D．The Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won’t.
33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．It’s typical of the Swiss to be punctual.
B．The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.
C．The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.
D．The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.
34．Why do politicians think it important to generalize another culture
A．They don’t want to offend other people. B．Generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes.
C．Cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes. D．They think different cultural characteristics are useful
35．What’s the main purpose of this passage
A．To illustrate the importance of making generalizations.
B．To show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people.
C．To tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristics.
D．To discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people.

“Just think positively!”
“It could be worse.”
“You should look at the bright side!”
We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic （有毒的） positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron （矛盾修辞法）. How can positivity be toxic Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests 36
“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform for primary care and mental health services. Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” 37 It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.
Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution to a complicated problem that we know nothing about, or not allowing people around you to appropriately express negative emotions.
Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. 38 “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” 39 “If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling.” Goodman adds.
40 If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying “Just think positively,” we’d better say “Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help ”
A．Are there ways to avoid toxic positivity
B．Toxic positivity also disrupts connection.
C．It can harm people who are going through difficult times.
D．This can come up in different situations when we are dealing with pressure.
E．They become more intense and can cause long-lasting health concerns in the future.
F．Experts say constant forced positivity can lead to the opposite, and have a negative effect.
G．This is what we may bring on to ourselves by not allowing negative thoughts and feelings.
