【本文要點(diǎn)】文章敘述了作者從英語文學(xué)專業(yè)畢業(yè)之后，幾經(jīng)周折，最終幸運(yùn)地找到自己喜

愛的寫書這門職業(yè)的事情。

49.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)前后文“butnosenseofwhatIwantedtodo"“justtryingtoearnan

income.Itriedjournalism,...thenfinance,whichIhated.Finally,Igotajob…”可知作者對于找

怎樣的一份適合自己的工作這件事漫無目的。故選C。

50.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段話“Idecidedtotrytosatisfyadeep-downwishtowriteanovel”

可知作者決定寫小說的目的只是滿足自己內(nèi)心深處的愿望，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想。故答案為B。

51.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段話“Ittakesconfidencetomakeanewstart""My

confidencedived”"Believingmynovelcouldnotbepublished,Iputitaside”及本段敘述了作

者回答別人問題時提到'Tmwritinganovel,butTmnotquitesureifI'mgoingtogetthere”可

知，此時他的感覺應(yīng)該是還不完全確定他現(xiàn)在是否還要繼續(xù)寫他的小說。故答案選D°

52.A推理判斷題。本段作者表達(dá)他剛剛開始時“there飛noendinsight"到后來的"an

unbelievablestrokeofluck""tobeapublishedwriter—isunbelievablyrewarding（有回報(bào)

的）”是想要告訴讀者，堅(jiān)持自己的目標(biāo)是值得的，總會碰到運(yùn)氣的降臨。B項(xiàng)“刻苦努力

是成功之路”，不符合文章意思。C、D項(xiàng)停留于文章表面意思。故答案為A。
