Just a few years out of law school，I decided that I wanted to write fictions.The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article.I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work，but I was too tired.I decided to quit my job.
I began my new life on a February morning.I sat down at my kitchen table at 730 am and made a resolution.Every day I would write until lunchtime.Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to rest my mind.After that，I would return to work for a few more hours.
In my first year，I sold two stories.Then I wrote a novel，but I thought it wasn’t good enough，so I ended up putting it in a drawer.My second novel，Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk，was published to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.
My success sounds like a familiar story，but actually it was far from sudden.I quit my job，and for every story I published in those years，I had at least 30 rejections.The novel that I put away in the drawer took my four years.My breakthrough came in 2006,18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table.

Even for a certified teacher with a degree and teaching certificate from Florida，a certain embarrassment exists.The two words “English teacher” don’t clearly show who I am.
Let me explain：When I go back to the US，I meet all my old friends.Some are stressed，exhausted and generally unhappy.They are stuck in jobs that they don’t love and that they do only to pay the bills.Even the ones making good money don’t even have the time to spend it and enjoy themselves.If I were in the US and I was working as a teacher，accountant，lawyer or so on，then that would be my job more or less for the next 30 to 40 years.I might have other talents，but I would be limited in being able to explore them.
In China the system is fluid for everyone：Chinese and expats(侨民)．I know many friends，both Chinese and expats，who changed careers because they wanted something new and it didn’t require going back to university four more years.All it required was motivation and a calculated risk.One of the best things about living in China for me is that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love.Let’s face it people change over the years：Your likes，your abilities and even the things that make you happy are constantly changing.Why shouldn’t your jobs and the opportunities also change with you?
When people ask me if I love my job，my answer is “YES”．In China I have had many jobs：actor，model，salesman and teacher at various stages during my seven years here.And no one told me “You can’t do that.” There was no self-limiting.In China，if you have the motivation to work hard and the drive to succeed then opportunities present themselves around every corner. 21．Why the term “English teacher” couldn’t explain the author’s role in China clearly? A．Because he has taken many different jobs in China. B．Because he has no choice but to be an English teacher. C．Because the purpose of his teaching is to make good money. D．Because there’re too many jobs for him to choose from. 22．Why are some of the author’s old friends generally unhappy? A．Because they have no chance to work in China as teachers. B．Because it’s even harder for them to earn money in the US now. C．Because they have no ability to explore their other talents. D．Because they can’t get away from the work they don’t enjoy. 23．What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Strict. C．Changeable.
B．Fixed. D．Exciting.
24．What does the author think of China? A．A country without motivations. B．A land of opportunity. C．A nation full of foreigners. D．A place short of jobs. Ⅲ.七选五
