Ⅳ.阅读理解
I used to work in a lab for almost 10 years. It was a well-paid job, and a “not exactly exciting 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.
What did he want me to do
Teach!
Me Teach Was he mad
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, while it would take me 10 seconds. And someone 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!
To this day I'm still not sure why I said yes. Maybe I didn't want to live a “safe” life where I did the same thing every day, year after year.
I have always felt I know a better way to describe difficult concepts to listeners than a lot of other people. I'm good at explaining things when I write about them. So I took the class syllabus(教学大纲) and rewrote it MY WAY! I did all I could to make it easier to understand.
In my first class I got the familiar funny looks from people when I started speaking. But after 15 minutes, people were asking intelligent(有才智的) 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 exciting but safe job”!
(　　)23.The writer thought his job in the lab was 　　　　.
A.well-paid and safe
B.safe and exciting
C.safe and challenging
D.enjoyable and safe
(　　)24.The writer uses the example of “Hello, how are you doing ” to show　　　　.
A.his speech problem was gone
B.what his speech problem was
C.his speech problem got better
D.who knew his speech problem
(　　)25.As for the class syllabus, the writer 　　　　.
A.deleted the difficult concepts in it
B.couldn't fully understand it at first
C.wrote it again in his own way
D.kept on reading it carefully
(　　)26.The writer knew the students understood his class from their 　　　　.
A.questions
B.smiles
C.thank-you letters
D.sadness
(　　)27.What's the best title for the passage
A.My fantastic class
B.My listening skills
C.My speech problem
D.My challenging choice
【熟词生义】 second
【熟词】 num. 第二
My father was so excited because his second book came out.
我父亲兴奋不已,因为他的第二本书出版了。
【生义】 ①n. 片刻; 瞬间;②n. 秒(时间单位)

请你马上给他们回电话好吗
