五、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In 2023, Kairan Quazi was only 14, so he needed someone to drive him to work at Elon Mus’s SpaceX. That year he graduated from Santa Clara University School of Engineering. And he joined the Starlink engineering team.
“I think my college years have been the happiest years of my life,” Kairan said in an interview from his bedroom. The soft-spoken teen said working with Starlink — the satellite Internet team at SpaceX — allows him to be part of something bigger than himself.
Kairan Quazi was born on January 27, 2009 in San Francisco Bay Area, USA. When he was 2, Kairan spoke in complete sentences. When he was in kindergarten, he told his teachers and classmates news stories he’d heard on the radio. When he was 9, he felt he wasn’t being challenged by his schoolwork. His parents and teacher agreed that he was ready for more advanced (高等的) studies. His parents had some difficulty finding a university that would accept him. Finally, Kairan jumped from the third grade to a community college.
At the age of 11, he went to Santa Clara University School of Engineering. There, at the age of 14, he received his bachelor’s (学士) degree in Computer Science and Engineering, becoming the youngest graduate in the history of the university.
In his free time, Kairan enjoys reading the sci-fi short stories, and telling stories about his life. “I think one of the things I really want to do with telling my story is hopefully to have leaders in important positions challenge their misconceptions (误解),” he said. “Hopefully, I can open the door to more people like me.”
( ) 1. What is Kairan going to do after graduating from Santa Clara University School of Engineering?
