解析：

(1)	useless：没有用，从上文“I did very badly at school”可以看出，作者给校长的印象是“无用”。
(2)	You’re never going to be anything but a failure．意为：你将一事无成。(你将只是一个失败者)根据never可判断选anything。never/not…anything but＝nothing but＝only。
(3)	poor job“低等的、劣等的工作”。low与job搭配不当，因他学业不好，文凭不高，故推断“我”应做poor job；useful不合句意。
(4)	句意：这可能是发生在我身上的最好的事情。
(5)	根据其宾语可判断出这是作者作出的决定。decide：决定……
(6)	我想向她证明人们对我的评价是错的。her指the nice middle class girl。
(7)	A项wrong：错误的，不对的。D项faulty：不完美的，有缺陷的，有错误的。
(8)	face it：承认，正视(现实)。
(9)	writing写作，由下一句话“在大学时我的第一部小说出版了”，推知“我”努力尝试写作。
(10)	come out“出版”；A项come on“上场；改善；快，加把劲；得了吧!”；B项come in“(潮水)上涨；取得(名次)；时兴，流行；可利用，可提供；到达”；D项come back“回来，返回；再度流行”。
(11)	根据下文“attended evening classes”可判断出是白天在大学里教书。
(12)	句意：“我”获得了历史学学位。
(13)	此句意为：我成了一位大学讲师，并且正考虑放弃那份工作(讲师)去专门从事写作。A项由give in“屈服，让步”；B项give back“归还；使恢复”；C项give out“用完，耗尽；停止运转；分发，散发；发出，放出(光，热)；宣布”。
(14)	when在此处相当于just at that time, suddenly，用来引出一个忽然出现的动作。
(15)	句意：这(里)是一个工人阶级男子，他曾过早辍学，现在在大学教书。
(16)	left school“辍学”；B项attend school“上学”。
(17)	根据下文“have been on TV, and met lots of film stars”可判断出作者出名了。A项：累了；B项：镇定的；C项：紧张的。
(18)	转折连词，A项：并且，顺接连词；C项：然而，副词。
(19)	just＝mercy/only，表达了作者惟一的愿望。
(20)	根据直接引语可确定选B。say强调说的内容；此句意为：我多么希望那些曾经蔑视过我的人们过去说的话是，“我信任你，你必能成功”。此句用的是虚拟语气。Put sb．down：“使(当众)出丑”。 　　本文叙述了“我”少年时因学习不好受人蔑视，爱上一位中产阶级的姑娘后才奋发图强改变自己的命运，最终功成名就的人生经历。
