语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自己的经历体会到在合适的时间说出合适的话对别人的影响有多么大。
21．C 解析：根据下文的内容可知，作者在读高中时就已经(already)知道他想成为一名作家了。
22．D 解析：当作者仅仅7岁时，写作就基本上选定他了。choose意为“选择，挑选”。此处表示作者喜欢上了写作。
23．D 解析：根据下文中的“guidance counselors and career planners who all __24__ me to have?a back-up plan?in case writing didn't work out”可知，上下文是转折关系，所以用but。
24．A 解析：但指导顾问和职业规划师们却力劝作者要有一个备用计划。所以空格处填urged。
25．C 解析：根据上文的内容可知，作者一心想从事写作，从没有考虑其他的职业。所以空格处填considered。
26．B 解析：根据上文的内容和空后的“and worried”可知，作者感到非常迷茫(confused)和担心。embarrassed意为“尴尬的”；annoyed“略感烦恼(生气)的”；frightened“受惊的，害怕的”。
27．B 解析：根据下文的“I would serve as a teacher's helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher”可知，作者决定选择教学作为自己的(职业)备用计划。
28．A 解析：根据上文的“I signed up for a class through my high school”可知，作者在高中时报名参加了一个训练课程，这对作者意味着他每天早上要给他最喜欢的六年级老师当助手。所以空格处填meant。
29．C 解析：根据上文的“I would serve as a teacher's helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher”和下文的“papers for him”可知，作者给他最喜欢的六年级老师当助手，每天都帮老师给试卷打分。grade意为“评分”，符合语境。
30．D 解析：根据下文的“a lesson or two.It was fun，and the students seemed to like me”可知，作者偶尔也上一两节课，那里的学生似乎也很喜欢他的课。
31．B 解析：根据下文的“You'll do fine in teaching”可知，作者的老师对他进行了评价。evaluation“评价，评估”；application“申请”；instruction“指导”；qualification“资格”。
32．A 解析：当作者的老师问他是否真想当老师时，他怀疑自己很明显做得不好。transparent意为“易看穿的”，符合语境。
33．C 解析：根据下文的内容可知，作者的老师问他是否真对教学感兴趣。由习语your heart is not in sth.“对某事不很感兴趣(或不热衷)”可知空格处填heart。
34．C 解析：根据作者的回答可知，他向老师说出了自己的心声，所以用admitted。 35．D 解析：根据上下文的内容可知，指导顾问和职业规划师们的建议让作者改变了主意。他们说作家很难获得成功，因此他想一边教书一边写作。所以空格处填so。
36．D 解析：根据上文的“use my summers”可知，作者想利用暑假休息时间去写作。off在这里表示“不工作，不上学，休息”。
37．A 解析：作者的老师问他为什么还要等着在备用计划上失败呢？他鼓励作者大胆追求自己心仪的职业。所以空格处填fail。
38．A 解析：根据上文的“If you want to be a writer，go for it！Pursue writing”和下文的内容可知，老师是在鼓励作者追求自己的梦想，所以空格处填encouragement。
39．B 解析：根据上文的“I was very __26__and worried”可知，作者一直担心自己在写作方面不能获得成功。而老师的一席话让他充满了信心。所以空格处填fears。
40．C 解析：根据第一段中的“it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time”可知，当作者很迷茫时，老师的鼓励给了作者足够的勇气和信心。故due“适当的，适宜的”，符合语境。
