完形填空

I did very badly at school．My headmaster thought I was 1 and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never going to be 2 but a failure．”

After five years of 3 jobs, I fell in love with a very nice middle-class girl．It was the best 4 that could have happened to me．I 5 I wanted to do something positive with my life because I wanted to prove to 6 that what people said about me was 7．Especially her mother, who had said to me, “Let’s 8 it, you’ve failed at everything you’ve done．” So I tried hard with my 9 and went to college．My first novel 10 while I was at college．

After college I taught during the 11 in high schools and attended evening class at London University, where I got a 12 in history．I became a lecturer at a college and was thinking of 13 that job to write full time when I was 14 a part-time job at Leeds University．I began to feel 15 of myself－here was a working-class boy who’d 16 school early, now teaching at the university．

My writing career 17 when I discovered my own style．Now I’m rich and 18, have been on TV, and met lots of film stars．But what does it mean? I 19 wish all the people that have put me down had 20, “I believe in you．You’ll succeed．”
