READING COMPREHENSION

Question 16 to 18 refer to the following text

A few years ago, I was living in New York and going through hard times. I could not find satisfying work. To my
shame, I was driving a school bus to earn a living. I had been through five interviews with a company and one day
they called to say I did not get the job.
Later that afternoon, while doing my rounds through a quiet neighborhood I thought "Why has my life become so
hard?"
Immediately after this internal scream, I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl and as she passed she handed
me an earring saying I should keep it in case somebody claimed it. It was stamped metal, painted black and said
'BE HAPPY'.
Suddenly, I understood. I had been putting all of my energies into what was wrong with my life rather than what
was right! I decided then and there to make a list of 50 things I was grateful for. At first, it was hard, then it got
easier.
That night there was a phone call for me from a manager of a large hospital. About a year earlier, I had submitted
a syllabus to a community college to teach a course on stress management. She asked me if I would do a one-day
seminar for 200 hospital workers. I said yes and got the job. My day with the hospital workers went very well. I
got a standing ovation and many more days of work. To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my
attitude to gratitude.
