Ⅰ.阅读理解
Graduating from high school is a milestone event.Most students are 18 when they graduate,but one Pennsylvania boy from Bensalem,a suburb of Philadelphia,just graduated and he is only nine and he is one of the youngest ever to do so.
David Balogun recently received his diploma from the Reach Cyber Charter(特许) School in Harrisburg where he was studying remotely.He has already started taking college courses.Besides being excellent in school,David loves computer programming,science,martial arts,and playing the piano.
David's parents have advanced degrees but it is demanding to raise a child with an extraordinary intellectual gift.“I had to get outside of the box,” David's mother,Ronya Balogun,told the local television station.“Playing pillow fights when you're not supposed to,throwing the balls in the house.He's a 9yearold with a brain that just has the capacity to understand and comprehend a lot of concepts that are beyond his years and sometimes beyond my understanding.”
Putting David in the charter school was a nobrainer for his parents.“When he heard the STEM program,at seven years old,he was jumping up and down.I said ‘Okay,this is where we're going,this is what we're doing.’ He loved it from the first moment.It's been an amazing journey,” she added.
David's remarkable education began two years ago,when he became a student at the charter school.Shortly after he began attending the school,David placed out of the elementary and middle school courses and began high school.
David already knows that he wants to be an astrophysicist(天体物理学家).But he has to complete his education first.While he has already completed a semester at Buck County Community College,his parents are researching college and university options that will be more challenging.They are looking into Ivy League schools including the University of Pennsylvania,Princeton,and Harvard,but since David is still only nine,he can't live on campus.
