Question

閱讀下面的短文，從每小題所給的A,B,C三個選項中選出最佳選項。

I used to work in a lab for almost 10 years. It was a well-paid job, and a “not exactly challenging(有挑戰(zhàn)性的）but safe job”. Then everything changed in 1998 when my best friend introduced me to a man who wanted to open up a computer school.

They knew I had a speech problem. I stuttered(口吃）.

For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should.“ Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds(秒）， while it would take me 10 seconds. And the man just asked me if I wanted to stand in front of strangers and speak about computer technology.

Then the most amazing thing happened...

I said yes!

I have always felt I know a better way to describe difficult concepts(概念） to listeners than a lot of other people. I’m good at explaining things when I write about it. So I took the class syllabus(教學大綱）and rewrote it MY WAY! I did all I could to make it easier to understand.

In my first class I got the familiar(熟悉的）funny looks from people when I started speaking. But after 15 minutes, people were asking smart questions that showed they understood. At the end of the class when people were leaving, they shook my hand and thanked me.

You won’t get THAT from a “ not exactly challenging but safe job”!
