閱讀下面的短文，并根據要求完成短文后的題目。
at the age of forty-five,my usually well ordered life became filled with changes.after working for a major financial institution,a major bank merger (合并)resulted in the loss of over one hundred jobs,mine being one of them.
my once secure life was nowhere to be found.my motto has always been “change is good,change is progress”,but when it affected my livelihood,i had to correct it to “accept change and make the most of it”.from the beginning,i tried to refuse to become sad or bitter:instead,i eagerly look forward to doing something new and different.
having a clear attitude made all the difference in the way i came to realize the future.first,i decided to return to college and get a college diploma(文憑),many years later than i should have.doing all this at my age took more than a little courage.not being a graduate had never influenced my career with the bank,but now it was a personal goal i longed to achieve.with a little anxiety and a lot of determination,i registered for evening classes,and became an adult student.
oral presentations were often required for one class.i remember thinking that if i had known this beforehand,i would have taken something else to achieve my required goal. by nature,i am an individual of few words,and speaking in front of people terrified me.as i stood in front of the other adults with whom i shared a common goal,my knees were visibly knocking,and my heartbeat can almost be heard.somehow,i found my voice and lessened my presentation.the next time it was easier,and soon,i was starting to enjoy it a little.later in the year,i even willingly interviewed a local reporter for an english assignment,much to the surprise of my teacher.my confidence level flew up.suddenly i felt like i could do anything.
is there life after banking?you bet there is.
the loss of my job was responsible for some practical changes in my life.as i think of the meaning of my motto,“change is good,change is progress”,i realize that i have accepted the change,and am making the most of it.
