1. (2023高三下·浙江开学考) 阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

The Voice Magazine recently had a chance to chat with Miss Patel, a 21-year-old university student currently living in Edmonton, Alberta. "Honestly, I am not happy with Edmonton because it's too dead. No one socializes. Everybody likes to stay as it is. Personally, I haven't found one person who likes to grow in their life. People in Edmonton seem to settle for whatever they get."

When  asked how  she best  studies, Miss Patel  stated, "I was a kid who  always took  studies  for granted. Till one day I realized it's the most important thing. What keeps me motivated is my goal and the promises I have made to myself. I am completely focused on my career and studies, because believe it or not, hanging out with friends is a distraction.

And her advice for new students? "Online universities and studies can be very overwhelming. You know, there is too much stuff out there. You may miss out on 90 percent of stuff you really need. But join online groups, call the student center and ask tons of questions. Go through every detail provided in the course. Make a schedule by what time you will finish the course."

When not studying, Miss Patel is interested in "spirituality–gaining knowledge of nature, how to be the best version of yourself." She continued, "I hit the gym quite often as well."

When asked which famous person she would like to have lunch with and why, Miss Patel did not have any famous person in mind. She explained, "The respectful famous leads today were once a common man or woman. I would in fact love to just go on a special elite(精英) lunch with myself. I sit with myself and feel every emotion, making a list of my flaws and my positive characteristics. That way I am just getting a step forward of being a better human being. And who knows my betterment can lead me into being famous just like others!"
