I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already
had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in
“Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that
it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had
always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!
I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends
wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable
I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.
Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was
tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my
feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.

The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!
I wish I could say
that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in
“Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.

But what did change was me
—
I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making
friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had
friends to say hi to in the halls!
I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t
change my situation, I could change my attitude
—
and that made all the difference.

In this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has
declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (
人均
) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in
many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.
Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others
have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater
effect because they create demand for additional services.
other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible
，
”said Guhan
Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve
Bank of Cleveland.
Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and
innovation(
革新
) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving
to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing
even as the entire population in the city has dropped.
Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking
cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area.
Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the
last 10 years.
However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a
declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss
does matter if it means lower- skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more,
high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be
wise to find ways to increase the population.
12. In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?
A. Transforming old energy into new energy.
B. Creating more well-paid jobs.
C. Prohibiting the manufacturing.
