Now,Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中畢業舞會)queen.
Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen.
Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.
“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”
Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.
Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.
On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.
“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “They called her name as the new prom queen — I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”
Katie repeated that feeling.
“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me. I love you all.”
Todd Corsetti, the principal (校長)at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”

1. When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease, doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school. 高中生Katie Shipley生下來就有嚴重的腦部疾病，當時醫生說她活不到上學的時候。
結構分析：本句是一個複合句，其中When引導時間狀語從句，主句中又包含賓語從句shewouldn't live to go to school。
解題策略：doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school為第1題的解題依據。

結構分析：Knowing...為動詞-ing形式作狀語，herfriend Courtney Travis began reaching out ...是本句的主幹，其中tofind her ...是不定式結構表示目的，在此不定式結構中，sheneeded .... 為定語從句修飾theprom king。
3. Todd Corsetti, the principal at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.” Southridge高中的校長Todd Corsetti說看到Katie成為舞會皇后以及他的學生所表現出的幹勁和伸出的援助之手是他“最驕傲的時刻”之一。
結構分析：the principal at Southridge High School是主語Todd Corsetti的同位語，thatseeing ...是賓語從句，其中seeing ...是動詞-ing形式作主語。
特別提示：此處引號表示引用，表明proudest moments是Todd Corsetti說的原話。
