The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).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,Tanis1.Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A.She had learned enough about computer science.B.She had more difficulty keeping focused.C.She preferred taking online courses.D.She was too slow to learn.2.As for the working environment, Tanis prefers .A.working by herselfB.dealing with the publicpeting against othersD.staying with ADHD students3.Tanis wrote this letter in order to .A.explain why she was interested in the computerB.share the ideas she had for her professionC.show how grateful she was to the centerD.describe the courses she had taken so far答案全解全析Passage 1[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。
