答案：　B

　　B

　　My name is Leanna Deeds，and I am blind.I have a bachelor's degree (学士学位) in journalism.However，my journalism career lasted ton months.I could not have a better job because I could not see.So when I was offered a fulltime job as a secretary for the Office for Students with Disabilities at Portland Community College (PCC)，I took it.However，I'm sure that my experience with higher education，and my understanding of how it works，was one of the reasons I was employed，and I know my college education has helped me over the years.

　　Technology has also helped me overcome difficulties.I learned to read with an optacon，an electronic reading device (装置) which allows blind people to read printed material.

　　I achieved a great deal in my career today through perseverance and hard work.I believe people with disabilities，above all，must learn the value of hard work because they must work harder at everything they do than other people.

　　I have a good attendance record at work.It has served me well.People with disabilities have fewer other duties in life because there are some things they can't do.So，once they have a job，they can go to work every day.

　　I have used initiative (主动性) at work to solve problems，especially my own.Since I have always worked with people，I collect information at work，and I use it to help them.I solve many small problems for people every day.

　　People with disabilities，and all people，should learn the system，respect it，and make it work well for them.I have done that all my life.As the years passed，I decided that continuing to work for PCC would be easier than starting over with another employer because I am known for what I can do.

　　Advice I would give to others with disabilities who are starting to plan their careers or look for employment：Always do your best.Take advantage of any opportunities that come your way.Use technology to help you.When you get a job，stick to it.
