So I did as he asked. I got good 39 , went to Harvard and in 1971 was accepted into a graduate program there that 40 me to study law and business at the same time.
In my second year of grade school, I began to realize that I’d 41 done anything but go to school. So, at 24 I decided to drop out. 42 , my parents didn’t think this was a great idea. But I felt strongly that you can’t 43 till you’re 65 to do what you want in life.
I packed my stuff into a bus and headed to Colorado to become an instructor at Outward Bound. Three years later, I was ready to go back to 44 . I finished Harvard and got a highly paid job at the Boston Consulting Group. Still, after working there five years, I 45 . Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50? At that time, Americans paid 46 money of beer in low quality. Why not make good beer for 47 ? I thought.

I called my beer Samuel Adams, 51 the brewer and patriot who helped to start the Boston Tea party. 52 I sold the beer direct to beer drinkers to get 53 out.

试题分析：
小题1:B spend time doing sth. 是固定结构，意思是“把时间花在做……上”。
小题2:C 倒装句。“so+倒装句”表示“另一个人或物的情况与前面相同”。
小题3:A anywhere用于否定句中。
小题4:C 据上下文可知，作者服从了父亲的安排并获得了良好的成绩。
小题5:D 学校允许我学习法律和商业。allow sb to do sth.“允许某人做某事”。
小题6:A never...anything=nothing。
小题7:B 我想退学，显然父母不会同意，其他不合题意。
小题8:D “不能等到人老了才做自己愿做的事”。
小题9:A 下文finished Harvard提供了回来学习的信息，因而为go back to school。
小题10:C 这句话是作者对自己生活的疑惑。
小题11:C 本句意思是啤酒很贵，但质量不佳。
小题12:D 上文提到Americans 高价买质量不好的啤酒，因而本句应为为Americans制造高质量的啤酒。
小题13:B 从下文可知，作者要放弃原来的工作，成为酿酒人。
小题14:A 当我告诉父亲时，他对我的想法不是很满意或感兴趣，而是奇怪，因为文章一开始就告诉我们作者的父亲不想让他成为酿酒人。
小题15:B but表转折，表明最后他同意和支持我，故答案为B。
小题16:D name sth... after为一固定搭配。 after有“根据.依据”的意思。
小题17:C also “而且”，作者首先给他的啤酒起了一个好名字，同时又直销给喝酒人。
小题18:B 把“酒的名字”传出去，使这一“name”有了名气。
小题19:A 从后面的几句话可知，作者是在给读者“忠告”，advice“忠告.劝告.建议”。
小题20:D 从“不要急于做决定”，可知作者是想表达“人的一生很长久”的意思，所以也就有了“生活不一定按你的计划进行”。
