Text 10
Well, I’d love to share with you something about my life. I was director of labor relations for a big company ten years ago. And I should have been happy. I had everything that I thought I wanted. But going into work every day took away a bit of myself. Until finally I stopped and said, “Where is that lively college girl who used to read tons of books and do fun things? Where is she?” I knew I had to look for her. Then one day, walking through a children’s bookstore, it hit me. I loved these books. The richness of the pictures, the power of these words. I gathered an armful of books and said, “ this is what I want to do.” And since then, I have treated writing like a full-time job. I wrote over twenty stories in the next year. And most of them got sent back with letters saying they were not good enough. But I didn’t give up. I think it’s because of that love that I have been able not to just write one book but nine books in the last ten years. When I worked in the company, I worked sixty-hour weeks because I had to. Now I work sixty-hour weeks because I love it. If I hadn't made that choice to take a chance and do something that really spoke to me, I don’t think I could have lived with myself.
17. What was the woman’s job ten years ago? A
A. A director in a company.
B. A college teacher.
C. A writer.
18. Who is the college girl mentioned in the talk? A
A. The speaker herself. B. The speakers friend. C. A clerk in the bookstore.
19. Why did the woman give up her job? B
A. she wanted more free time.
B. It was far from what she wanted.
C. College life was much more interesting.
20. How does the woman feel now? C
A. Regretful. B. Worried. C. Satisfied.
