Ⅰ.阅读理解
Growing up，Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be.“I was a black girl, from a refugee(难民) family，” Deka said.“It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”
After a high school chemistry class which inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field，Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future.Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.
Born and raid in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple.While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background，she would say differently，that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven，young scientist that she is today.
When Deka was eight years old，her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family.That made Deka reali that education could make a difference to one's life.She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn't do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.
“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family，” Deka said.“You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone el.I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”
Deka's efforts paid off.The summer before her nior year of high school，she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme.“She brought both enthusiasm and focus，” Botham，a rearcher at this rearch institute, recalled.“She a
rrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”
When asked what advice she would give to others like her，Deka warned them not to underestimate themlves.“Don't tell yourlf that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school，” she said.“I was not sure whether I could make it until I started eing the acceptance letters rolling in.”
( )1.From the passage，we can learn that ________.
A．Deka was adopted by a refugee family
