Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime-a-word job. But once you were there, I found, you were in.
Globe jobs were for life—guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from, an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck with it.
Instead, I had made a decision to leave.
I entered my boss’s office, would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk," I began awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now l’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning."
"To another paper?" he asked.
I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything, not trusting myself just then.
I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That we were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. "I’m glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t," he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world, " he concluded. "And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here."
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.
Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion dollar property.
"I’m resigning, Bill," I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry of dismayed either.
After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I were in your shoes."
The writer wanted to resign because______.
选项
A、he had serious trouble with his boss
B、he got underpaid at his job for the Globe
C、he Wanted to be engaged in the new media industry
D、he had found a better paid job in a publishing house
答案
C
解析
本题是细节题。第七段第二句提到“我要离开公司去开一家新传媒公司”。而C 项“他想要从事新媒体产业”恰好吻合题意。
