题目

阅读理解 I have been studying literature all the time, so someone asked me if l made the wrong choice by devoting myself to studying literature. I was deep in thought. A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that. Another friend turned his love of Hemingway's writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don't stay at one job for their entire career. I can't tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in, and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life. Colleges generally don't clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities. Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don't think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn't feel sad to devote myself to studying literature. （1） What does the underlined word "mollify" mean? A . Express. B . Relieve. C . Deepen. D .
