英语阅读推理判断题练习 Passage 1 　　Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self⁃conscious about her inability to articulate herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out. “Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, with his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.” He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…” Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude. Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a new⁃found sense of clarity and purpose. The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected her as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.
