24、   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 training school.

What did he want me to do?

Teach!

Me? Teach? Is he mad?

They knew I had a speech problem. I stuttered.

For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should. “Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds, where it would take me 10 seconds. And someone 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 it. 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 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”！

A.well-paid and safe B.safe and exciting

C.safe and challenging D.well-paid but challenging

【2】The writer uses the example of “Hello, how are you doing?” to show .

A.what his speech problem was B.his speech problem was gone

C.his speech problem got better D.how he fought his speech problem

【3】As for the class syllabus, the writer .

A.deleted the difficult concepts in it B.couldn’t fully understand it first

C.wrote it again in his own way D.explained it to his friend first

【4】The writer knew the students understood his class from their .

A.smiles B.questions C.funny looks D.thank-you letters

【5】What's the best title for the passage?

A.My best friend B.My fantastic class

C.My speech problem D.My challenging choice
