I entered St. Thomas’ s Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart was not in it. I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession: so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowing the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk.
The next ten years was very hard, and I earned an average of £ 100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed. The next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wit’ s end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced. It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while, I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town.
When the author wrote his first novel,______.
选项
A、he sent it to a publisher but it was not accepted
B、he was still studying at the medical school
C、he succeeded in publishing it though it was not a success
D、he had graduated from the medical school
答案
B
解析
根据第一段第四、五句“Before long,I wrote a novel…at the hospital and had something of a success.”可知,小说出版时是作者在医学院的最后一年。由此可推知,作者在写他的第一部小说的时候,他还在医学院学习。故选B。
