IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解):(共50分)
A) Choose the best answer (根据文章内容,选择最恰当的答案):(12分)
Today, I want to tell you some stories from my life. The first story is about connecting the dots(小圆点). Reed College, the college I attended, offered perhaps the best calligraphy lessons in the country. Calligraphy was attractive to me, so I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I didn’t hope for any real use of this in my life. It was just a hoppy. But ten years, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.
You might be very confused about the meaning of what you are doing now. But you have to believe the dots will somehow connect in the future. Every effort you make is worth the price. It will pay off in the end. This belief has never let me down, and it has made all the differences in my life.
My second story is about love and loss. Woz and I started Apple in a garage when I was 20. But later, I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, it just happened. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was so hard for me.
But it turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happed to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
I'm pretty sure if I hadn't been fired from Apple, I wouldn’t become who I am now. The loss completed me. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. What’s more, you have to find out what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. You’ll know when you find it.

A. Jobs was interested in calligraphy when he was at college.

A. Every effort we make is worth the price
B. What we are doing is probably useless
C. The thing we’re doing may not pay off
D. The dots will never connect in the future
72. The belief has never made Jobs _______.
A. Satisfied B. Pleased C. Happy D. Sad
73. The underlined word “brick” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. Something soft B. Something hard
C. Something light D. Something different
74. Which of the following is NOT TURE?
A. Jobs started the Apple company in a garage when he was 20 with Woz.
B. After Jobs left the Apple company, he got the greatest success in his life.
C. Jobs doesn’t think the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
