答案解析：

小题1:B考查前后照应。useless无用的。从上文“I did very badly at school.”可以看出，作者给校长的印象是“无用”。

小题2:考查逻辑推理。根据never可判断要选你not be anything but表示“除了……之外”的意思。

小题3:考查逻辑推理。根据上文中的badly可判断出作者的学业很差。

小题4:考查语境理解。thing事情。句意为：爱上一个中年级的女孩对作者来说是最好的事情。

小题5:考查词语辨析。decide决定；admit承认；plan计划；tell告诉。根据其宾语可以判断出这是作者做出的决定。

小题6:考查前后照应。her指上文提到的那个中年级的女孩。

小题7:考查语境理解。向女孩证明人们说的是错误的。

小题8:考查语境理解。句意为：让我们正视这件事吧，你做每件事都是失败的。故选face。

小题9:考查前后照应。根据下文中的“my first novel”可判断出作者要用自己的写作来证明别人的话是错误的。

小题10:考查词语辨析。come out出版，发行；come on继续前进；come in进来；come back回答。句意为：第一本小说是在上大学时出版发行的。

小题11:考查前后照应。根据下文“attended evening classes”可判断出是在白天教学。

小题12:考查固定搭配。在历史学方面获得学位用get a degree in history来表达。

小题13:考查词语辨析。give up放弃；give in屈服；give back还回；give out分发。句意为：作者考虑辞去工作做一名专业作家。

小题14:考查语境理解。when此处意为：就在这时。句意为：这时得到一份兼职工作。

小题15:考查语境理解。here is (are, was, were) 这儿有。

小题16:考查逻辑推断。从上文可以看出由于作者在学校里成绩很差，过早地离开了学校。

小题17:考查前后照应。famous出名。根据下文“have been on TV，and met lots of film stars”可判断出作者出了名。

小题18:考查语法规则。but表示转折。虽然出了名，但这意味着什么呢？however表示“然而”时，要用逗号与句子分开。

小题19:考查语境理解。just仅仅，只是。表达了作者唯一的希望。

小题20:考查前后照应。根据直接引语可确定选said。
