解析：

(1)	从首句的“I did very badly”可知，校长认为“我”没有用，所以答案为B。
(2)	从转折词后面的a failure，可以推出前面应该用一个褒义词与之相对应。故选something，意为“个人物，或有所作为的人”。
(3)	早早辍学，又没有什么知识，当然就不会找到什么好的工作，所以应该用poor“差的”。
(4)	能和一个中产阶级人家的女孩相爱对于像我这样的人，当然是再好不过的事情了，所以选择D。
(5)	所以“我”下定决心要改变这样的现状，故用decided来表示。
(6)	这么做是要向谁证明呢，当然应该是女朋友，而且下文还有especially her mother，这更说明了是要做给她一家人看的，所以答案为C。
(7)	作者要改变现状就是要堵那些看不起他的人的嘴，证明他们对他的看法是错误的，所以本题选择A。
(8)	但是作者的丈母娘并不相信他，所以说了句：那我们就走着瞧！所以应该选择A。
(9)	从下文的my novel可知作者是想通过写作来改变现状，所以答案为C。
(10)	本处要表达的是第一本小说出版了，书的出版用come out，答案为C。
(11)	下文中有attended evening class，所以此处上班的时间应该是白天，所以答案为A。
(12)	因为上文中又上了大学，下文中又做了讲师，所以此处应该表示获得了学位，所以选择C。
(13)	从下文的write full time，所以这里是要放弃现有的工作，答案为D。
(14)	就在这是Leeds University为“我”提供了一份兼职的工作，提供为offer，所以答案为C。
(15)	“我”从一个被人看不起的“笨”孩子，到现在能有所作为而感到骄傲，答案应该是B。
(16)	此处作者是回想起自己早早就不得不辍学的事，所以用left，答案为A。
(17)	此时作者觉得自己的事业开始有了起色了，表达此意的短语是take off，答案为C。
(18)	作者因为自己的创作特色而富有了，上了电视，还接见了好多的电影明星，所以是出了名了，故答案应选D。
(19)	面对现在的成功，作者还是觉得有点怅然若失，对自己被看不起的事而难过，他只想那些人改变他们对自己的看法。
(20)	作者希望他们能说一声：我们相信你行，相信你能成功，所以答案选择B。
