Question

13．I was twenty years old，and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living．Unfortunately，I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be．The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching，being a nurse or sitting in an office．
But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue （目录） of courses that were being offered at the local college．As I looked through it，I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language．It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations，such as law companies，the Stock Exchange，insurance companies and banks．Then I saw something that really caught my eye："Singer"are also needed for sporting events，concerts，theatrical performances and，believe it or not，circuses!By the time I got to the bottom of the page，I knew I had found the perfect occupation．
I enrolled （注册） on the course，which to my parents'great delight was free of charge．The course was brilliant．My favourite part was the final lesson，when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song．It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words，but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast．It was the hardest thing I have ever done-but also the most rewarding．
