B I remember being so frustrated （沮丧的）when it came to school and doing my homework when I was in primary school. I would sit there and cry for hours because nothing made sense to me like it should have. It felt like no matter what I did, nothing came easy to me. Finally, my teachers saw that there was something wrong. They saw my frustration and my inability to process what they were saying very clearly. They suggested giving me a test, and I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD). In simple terms, I just couldn't focus. In the sixth grade I was put on medication ( 药物治疗) to combat the disorder, which completely transformed my life. I was also put into classes that suited my learning disabilities and made it easier for me to concentrate on learning for the first time. I was so happy to actually learn, and it was the most amazing feeling to learn something and actually understand it for the first time in my entire life. My parents were in absolute shock of how much I had accomplished in just the first year of being treated. Seventh grade, I will never forget, because it was the first year that I had received straight As, had gotten High Honor Roll and had been able to understand what I was learning. Yeah, it was only seventh grade but, for me, it was one of my biggest accomplishments.

If you're like me, please believe that you can achieve what I've achieved, too. You just need some professional help. 24. What was the author's problem when he was in primary school? A.

C When A33, a theater in Beijing, hosted a new stand-up comedy show（脱口秀), to the surprise of the organizers, nearly 250 people turned up and laughed together. Six years ago, that would have been unbelievable. Indeed, there were even cases of shows having more performers than viewers. Wan Da, one of the performers, said, “Many people are worried about the future of stand-up comedy, a genre (类型) that is very popular in the U.S. after its introduction in China. Can it adapt itself here? But as the results show, there is no need to worry. We have survived an
