Ⅰ.阅读理解
I started to work as an editor for a travel magazine.I didn't really mind the work, but I wanted something more challenging.My sister sent me some details for a position in a startup.The job was a seemingly perfect mix of my skills and interests, so I jumped at it.
However, soon after I joined the company, its model changed to focus on K12 education, and everything about my position changed.I was asked to take on the completely different roles of selling contents to teachers and training people.I had no experience in sales, training or education.On top of that, I'm an introvert (内向的人).I felt more a little outside my comfort zone.
I knew I wanted to grow as an individual and make a serious impact on the company.I told myself that everything feels overwhelming at first and I should at least try.In a way, I felt like I didn't have a choice.I knew jumping out of the nest was the right thing for me, even though it felt pretty awful.
I was fortunate to be surrounded by very helpful people, both at work and at home.My boss never asked if I thought I could do it; she asked if I was interested in trying.
I spent hours researching my company's products.I asked lots of questions and spoke to so many teachers that there were soon more good experiences than difficult ones.I looked for opportunities to put in extra effort.The more I did, the better I felt.
Over time, I discovered that the job was something I could do and liked doing.It was incredibly rewarding to see the company grow.I also learned it's important to take risks and accept new opportunities, even when you're not sure if you'll do well.I don't think there's anything worse than failing to try.I'm so glad I tried, and it surely paid off.
