It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five-year-old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well-being.
But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he had come to get his clothes and wouldn’t be back. We’d been having trouble, but the finality of that note still came as a shock. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs in expectation of interviewing for a teaching position. Plus, I was eight months pregnant.
I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. I used my routine to keep me moving. After being in the military for six years, I guess you can say I relied on my training, like all good soldiers do in tough situations. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back(恢复原状).
And in the seven years since, I’ve continued moving forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master’s degree in education, and watched my babies grow to twelve and seven. I certainly would never have chosen to put them through this, but looking back, I’m glad it happened to me when it did. It helped me find my voice and myself a lot sooner. It helped me grow independent, confident, and strong—things I’m hopefully instilling(灌输) now in my children.
1.After getting her bachelor’s degree, the author expected to ________.
A. become a teacher B. be a wife and mother

B. She had just been to a job interview when her husband left her.
C. Her husband paid off all the debts from the bank.
D. She was going to have another baby soon.
3.The author’s hardships in life made her ________.
A. become confident and independent
B. work harder in the kindergarten
C. use her routine to move forward
D. feel pleased with what happened to her
4. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. The author’s parents helped her a lot
B. The author received further education later
C. The author earned a master’s degree when she was 29
D. The author didn’t know how to deal with marriage
5.What helped the author to pull through her hard time?

C. Her decision to find a new job.
D. A strong mind and love for her kids.
