四、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

A

When I was three, the most children I made friends with were about three or four. But I was shy and didn’t join in activities. Even in preschool, I tried to avoid the groups at play. I just didn’t fit in. But I kept on smiling and trying to be friendly.

The adults in my life were more easily understood than my peers (同龄人). I couldn’t understand why none of them lived up to the adult standards. Manners, vocabulary, reading... all of these meant nothing to them. They were children. At that point, I wasn’t any more.

I started kindergarten (幼儿园) knowing how to count to 100 and how to read. But even though I was far ahead of some of the other children, I was no perfect student. I was excited by all the friends I could make. But soon I discovered that I was hurt easily by their words. I made friends, but I didn’t keep them, and eventually, I was left alone. I sat alone, trying to keep happy and pretending that I didn’t need anyone else to be happy.

My parents loved me. I know they did. My mom became the main earner when I was very young. My dad also worked hard, but he didn’t get paid quite well. But I don’t understand why I’d always been left to my own toys as a child. I explored the world in my own way, which gave me loneliness. The loneliness would invade (入侵) my body and pull me down to the floor, making me cry and bite myself. My life was damaged by the loneliness for years. Unlike other children at my age, I really didn’t have a friend to spend time with. So I made them in my head.

The loneliness still controls me now. It’s the reason I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (被诊断患有分离性身份识别障碍) (DID). At times, I feel the choking and biting, and I know it’s the younger me reminding me I still have a lot to move beyond.
