13 , I went off to college, and wrote on the application that I
wanted to major in “business.” Interestingly, there was no “business”
department at Dartmouth. I am not sure why I didn’t think seriously about
teaching at that time; maybe it was because, while I love school, it never 14 to me. At Darmouth, I spent my first two and a half years
working very hard for 15 grades but not great grades. Teachers called
my work “Diamonds in the 16 ” and one teacher said, “It’s not what you
say, Phil, it is how you say it. That is a problem.” The same teacher also
discouraged me from going into teaching because “jobs are really hard to
get.” I think the real reason was that she didn’t think I was bright enough. I
felt limited because of a 17 . I was not at all sure that 18 , at any
level, was a 19 for me. 【題組】 13. (A) Later on (B) Nonetheless
