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.
The manager of the Court Theatre agreed to put on the author’ s play because______.
选项
A、he thought the author was a good playwright
B、he liked the author’ s play very much
C、he failed to arrange a new play in time
D、he heard that the author had studied medicine before
答案
C
解析
根据第二段第四、五句“…he arranged to put on was not ready…He read a play of mine and,though he did not much like it…till the play he had in mind could be produced.”可知,皇家剧场的经理同意上演作者的戏剧是因为他没能及时安排另外一场新剧,而非出自对作者及其剧作的欣赏。故选C。
