A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college, expecting to do well in her courses and be best friends with her roommates. But things didn’t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would be a first-semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle.

Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students. You may feel homesick in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends, making them know how you’re going. You can also talk with your roommates. As first-year students themselves, they’re probably experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you’re dealing with .

But what if you don’t get along well with your roommates?

In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren’t much alike. Different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what.

If you and your roommates don’t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. You’ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.

As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school’s website to find out information about the university health center.

If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询)center. First-year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there.

When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease, doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.

Now, Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中毕业舞会) queen.

Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen. Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.

“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”

Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.

Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.

On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.

“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “They called her name as the new prom queen — I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”

Katie repeated that feeling.

“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me. I love you all.”

Todd Corsetti, the principal (校长) at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”

“I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking to make the world a better place,” Todd said. “As we finish our school year, it's a great legacy (遗产) to leave the other classes who come after them.”

Raegan Byrd tries to complete her homework every night. But the high school student in Hartford, Connecticut, has to use her mobile phone to search for the necessary information because she does not have internet connection at home.

In May, the US Department of Education(DOE) published its findings that the number of homes without access(接入) to internet has been getting smaller, but 14 percent of homes in city areas and 18 percent of homes in the countryside still do not have internet connections.

In some states, the problem is much more serious. For example, in the countryside of northern Mississippi, a third of the 294 homes in Maben do not have computers. And close to half have no access to internet whether they can pay for it or not.

Sharon Stidham, a mother in Maben, has to take her four boys to the school library at East Webster High School. Her husband works there, so the children can use the internet for their schoolwork. A signal tower can be seen through the trees from their home, but they could not put aside any money for the internet.

Research results from the National Center for Education(NCE) have shown that students with internet at home get much better scores in reading, math and science than the ones who do not.

Some teachers call this problem “the homework divide”. Jessica Rosenworcel, an NCE member, said, “The so-called homework divide is the cruelest part of the digital age and it is hurting the poor students and creating a big obstacle to their dreams.”

Local communities(社区) have started to help. They made lists of restaurants and other businesses with Wi-Fi places where children are welcome to come and do their homework. And many public libraries have also planned to provide free access to the students next year.

1.What has DOE found out in its survey?

A.Students with internet at home are doing better at school.

B.4% more homes in the countryside don’t have internet access.

C.About 33% of the students in Mississippi do not have internet at home.

D.An increasing number of students do not have access to internet at home.

2.Why does Sharon Stidham take her sons to the East Webster High School library?

A.Her husband is a teacher in the library.

B.She does not want to pay for the internet at home.

C.She wants her sons to study in a better environment.

D.Her sons have to use the internet to do their schoolwork.

3.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “obstacle” in paragraph 6?

A.Block. B.Help.

C.Goal. D.Chance.

4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.Local communities are called on to take actions.

B.Libraries have opened their doors to the students.

C.Restaurants have volunteered to take in the children.

D.Helps are coming from the public and the local communities.
