Question

【題目】Dear Alfred,

I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.

Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD. Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.

However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.

While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.

Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your videos. This has given me a purpose.

Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.

Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.

This is why you’re saving my life.

Yours,

Tanis

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t.可知，“我”的多動(dòng)癥加重了，無(wú)法上大學(xué)，故選B。

【2】A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to.可知，我一直在找一份不用和公眾打交道，我可以獨(dú)立工作，但仍然需要與團(tuán)隊(duì)對(duì)話的工作，故推斷我喜歡自己一個(gè)人工作，故選A。

【3】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Thank you. You've given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself”可知，作者寫信的目的是表達(dá)感謝，故選C。
