I had always dreamed of living and working in New York, which promised endless opportunities. But as soon as I arrived, I realized that my journey was going to be filled with countless setbacks and challenges. 

My first major failure came when I landed my dream job at a famous company. However, after just a few months, I was let go due to budget cuts. I was shocked and felt like all of my hard work had been for nothing. 

Determined to bounce back, I applied for a new job at another company. This time, things seemed to be going better. I was making progress and gaining valuable experience, but then I was suddenly laid off again due to company restructuring. 

Feeling defeated and hopeless, I decided to take a break from the job search and focus on self-improvement. I enrolled in courses and attended workshops to learn new skills and expand my knowledge. But even with all of this effort, I still couldn't find the right job.

One day, while searching online job listings, I found an opportunity that seemed too good to be true. It was a remote position that offered a competitive salary and flexible hours. Without hesitation, I applied and was thrilled when I received an offer letter. 

However, as soon as I started working remotely, I realized that it wasn't the same as being in an office with colleagues (同事) around me. I struggled to communicate effectively and found it difficult to stay motivated without the support of my team.

Despite these challenges, I refused to give up. I reached out to my colleagues and tried to build relationships with them through virtual meetings and social media. With their help and encouragement, I was able to adapt to the new environment and excel in my role. Looking back on my journey, I realized that success is not about avoiding failure, but rather about learning from it and persevering through the tough times. I encouraged others who may be facing similar challenges in their own careers to never give up on their dreams and to keep pushing forward even when things get tough.

(1) How did the author feel about his journey when he arrived? A. Better. B. Promising. C. Tough. D. Well-paid.
(2) What caused him to be laid off by the first company? A. Company restructuring. B. Financial problems. C. Being short of skills. D. Working attitude.
(3) Why did the author keep in touch with his colleagues? A. He wanted them not to give up. B. He wanted to get support from them. C. He wanted to be better than them. D. He wanted to hold a meeting with them.
(4) Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Perseverant. B. Modest. C. Imaginative. D. Generous.
