An Unwanted Baby, Steve Jobs
At 30, Steve Jobs, however, was fired from the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak. He left the company after losing a bitter battle over control with Apple’s CEO John Sculley, whom Jobs had recruited from Pepsi Cola. When Steve Jobs heard of the message he said, "You’ve probably had somebody punch you in the stomach and it knocks the wind out of you and you cannot breathe.【T1】______And you know than the only thing you can do is just relax so you can start breathing again. "
Steve Jobs sold over $ 20 million of his Apple stock, spent days bicycling along the beach, feeling sad and lost, toured Paris, and journeyed on to Italy. Recalling this publicly heartbreaking episode, Jobs said, "I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.【T2】______It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."
【T3】______NeXT didn’t do as well as Jobs had dreamed for, but Pix-ar was a success story. Jobs became an instant billionaire. Meanwhile, his old company Apple was under immense pressure from its rival Microsoft and in 1996 posted billions of dollars in losses.
In December 1996, Steve Jobs convinced Apple to buy NeXT and make its software the foundation of the next-generation Mac OS.【T4】______Initially appointed as Apple’s adviser, Steve Jobs was name3 Apple’s interim CEO in 1997.

B. The harder you try to breathe, the more you cannot breathe.
C. During the next five years he started two companies—NeXT and Pixar.

选项
答案
B
解析
这是当乔布斯被苹果公司解雇后说的一段话。联系上下文,空格前大意为你被人重重击了一下不能呼吸。空格后大意为你知道你唯一能做的是放松,这样你才能够再次开始呼吸。因此空格处应填入一个过渡句。B项意为“你越是努力地想要呼吸,越是不能做到”。
