解析：

(1)	useless：沒有用，從上文“I did very badly at school”可以看出，作者給校長的印象是“無用”。
(2)	You’re never going to be anything but a failure．意為：你將一事無成。(你將只是一個失敗者)根據never可判斷選anything。never/not…anything but＝nothing but＝only。
(3)	poor job“低等的、劣等的工作”。low與job搭配不當，因他學業不好，文憑不高，故推斷“我”應做poor job；useful不合句意。
(4)	句意：這可能是發生在我身上的最好的事情。
(5)	根據其賓語可判斷出這是作者作出的決定。decide：決定……
(6)	我想向她證明人們對我的評價是錯的。her指the nice middle class girl。
(7)	A項wrong：錯誤的，不對的。D項faulty：不完美的，有缺陷的，有錯誤的。
(8)	face it：承認，正視(現實)。
(9)	writing寫作，由下一句話“在大學時我的第一部小說出版了”，推知“我”努力嘗試寫作。
(10)	come out“出版”；A項come on“上場；改善；快，加把勁；得了吧!”；B項come in“(潮水)上漲；取得(名次)；時興，流行；可利用，可提供；到達”；D項come back“回來，返回；再度流行”。
(11)	根據下文“attended evening classes”可判斷出是白天在大學里教書。
(12)	句意：“我”獲得了歷史學學位。
(13)	此句意為：我成了一位大學講師，并且正考慮放棄那份工作(講師)去專門從事寫作。A項由give in“屈服，讓步”；B項give back“歸還；使恢復”；C項give out“用完，耗盡；停止運轉；分發，散發；發出，放出(光，熱)；宣布”。
(14)	when在此處相當于just at that time, suddenly，用來引出一個忽然出現的動作。
(15)	句意：這(里)是一個工人階級男子，他曾過早輟學，現在在大學教書。
(16)	left school“輟學”；B項attend school“上學”。
(17)	根據下文“have been on TV, and met lots of film stars”可判斷出作者出名了。A項：累了；B項：鎮定的；C項：緊張的。
(18)	轉折連詞，A項：并且，順接連詞；C項：然而，副詞。
(19)	just＝mercy/only，表達了作者惟一的愿望。
(20)	根據直接引語可確定選B。say強調說的內容；此句意為：我多么希望那些曾經蔑視過我的人們過去說的話是，“我信任你，你必能成功”。此句用的是虛擬語氣。Put sb．down：“使(當眾)出丑”。 　　本文敘述了“我”少年時因學習不好受人蔑視，愛上一位中產階級的姑娘后才奮發圖強改變自己的命運，最終功成名就的人生經歷。
