Section Ⅲ　　Learning About Language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 Three years into my postdoctoral (博士后) position, I decided I needed a new career plan. After applying for more than two dozen teaching jobs, I hadn't landed a single interview. I was disappointed but not surprised. I was applying in the middle of the financial crisis, when many universities carried out hiring freezes, and my publication record didn't stand out. One day after my failed job search, my office mate was amazed by what a journal's scientific illustrator had done to the sketches (草图) in her review article with artistic techniques. I thought to myself, “That would be such a fun job.” A long dormant (蛰伏的) dream of becoming an artist began to stir. My family was bursting with mathematicians and engineers who pursued music and literature in their spare time, so it felt natural to have my daily life revolve around science, with art as my dreamy lunar companion. I had once considered going to art school but had put that idea aside when I decided to pursue chemistry as an undergraduate. In the years that followed, I kept up my interest in art by taking drawing and painting classes at night. I decided to test out a new career direction by creating similar illustrations for my institute's newsletters. I spent nights and weekends reading scientific papers and thinking about how to illustrate the results. It was a fun task — something that engaged my artistic, creative side and made use of my scientific training. I felt I was on the right path. It was exciting to find a career that drew on my diverse skill set. I did feel a sense of loss for not becoming an academic educator, and I worried I'd be letting down the people and institutions who'd invested time and resources in me. But it helped to remind me that my new career path wasn't removed from science. I now work as a visual designer at a biomedical research institute, not far from my husband's company, and my business is flying. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的职业生涯。受家庭的熏陶，作者最终获得了博士学位。同时也在追求科学的基础上实现了自己对艺术的追求，找到了理想的职业。 1．Why did the author fail to land a job at first?
