每天读一篇英语小故事：The New Realtor

英语自学网

　　Norma was discouraged. She was a new realtor. She had recently passed the
state test on her first try. Then she joined a realty company. They offered
training classes two to four times a week. Norma attended the classes
faithfully.
        　　But because English was her second language, she didn’t catch everything
that the instructor said. When she asked the instructor to repeat something, he
told her to see him after class. But when other students asked a question, the
instructor answered the question right then and there.
        　　To Norma, the instructor always said, "See me after class." Then, when she
tried to see him after class, he would say that he was late for an appointment.
"How about next time?" he would say. He was always too busy to help her.
        　　"He’s not too busy, he’s just too lazy," her boyfriend said. “There are too
many ‘instructors' like that. All they care about is presenting their
information. If the students don’t get it, that’s their problem. You have to be
strong. These people are not going to help you. They want you to fail, because
that means less competition for them. It’s a dog-eat-dog business."
