ago.

One morning Ken was reading the newspaper with his morning coffee. Inside he saw an

announcement

for

a

poetry

reading

at

bookstore.

He

was

surprised

to

find

that

the

featured poet was none other than his friend Anthony. Ken decided to see what his old pal

was up to.

Ken sat in the last row of the area set up inside the bookstore. When Anthony was

C

I was twenty years old, and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would

be earning my own living. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future

occupation to be. The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45

years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office.

But

that

was

before

the

postman

delivered

a

catalogue

(

目录

)

of

courses

that

were

being

offered

at

the

local

college.

As

I

looked

through

it,

I

was

attracted

by

a

page

that

talked

about

the

difficulties

faced

by

deaf

people

in

their

everyday

lives

and

how

students

could

help

by

learning

sign

language.

It

went

on

to

say

that

graduates

of

the

course

usually

find

work in different organizations, such as law companies, the Stock Exchange, insurance

companies and banks. Then I saw something that really caught my eye:

“Singer” are also

needed for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances and, believe it or not,

circuses! By the time I got to the bottom of the page, I knew I had found the perfect

occupation.

I

enrolled

(

注册

)

on

the

course,

which

to

my

parents’

great

delight

was

free

of

charge.

The course was brilliant. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked

us

to

sign

our

favourite

song.

It

was

really

difficult

because

not

only

did

we

have

to

sign

the words, but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and

whether the beat was slow or fast. It was the hardest thing I have ever done

—

but also the

most rewarding.

33. The only thing the writer knew that she .

A. was too old to find a job as a teacher

B. wanted to work as a nurse in a hospital

C. had never liked being in a teacher

’

s office

D. would not get a job until she was at least 45

34.

According

to

the

catalogue

the

writer

read,

when

students

finish

a

sign

language

course,

they .

A. do not have to work with deaf people

B. can work in many types of different places

C. may not always find a job in their chosen field

D. almost always start their career in a law company

35. The part of the course the writer enjoyed the most was when .

A. she should sing a song with a fast beat

B. she should sign a song for the last lesson

C. her teacher sang a very sad song to the class
