A job is more than a job, especially to the old. "It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self-worth," 56-year-old Cheng Wenlan said. So, every day Ms. Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快递员).
Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was jobless when the doctor migrated. It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. "People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am," she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?
"My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me ’You are so old. What are you working for?’ I was very unhappy," she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then her neighbours told her about Employees’ Retraining Board(ERB) offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage older people back to work.
"I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit," she said. Upon graduating, Ms. Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms. Cheng was faced with a conflict: she was caught between honour and employment. "I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels," she said. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind; there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier.
Ms. Cheng’s employer, Anthony Chong, who is delighted with her responsible attitude, said, "I hired older people because they were able and reliable. Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people will not run away from difficulties but the young ones will."
Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because________.
选项
A、she was bored with the job
B、it was too difficult
C、she was too old to do the job
D、the other staff made her feel uncomfortable
答案

解析
根据第三段中“‘My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me…I was very unhappy,’she said.”可知,同事的不理解让她感到不舒服,因此她辞职了。故选D。
