【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 had encouraged him to enter the writing petition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays. As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing. Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story. The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were ing easily, flowing through him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed at how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number 248 staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet. Then he heard the call of his mother saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost thinking about a topic to write. Finally, he finished. The word count now read498. Perfect, he thought, just under the word limit.

He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.”他寫的每一個(gè)故事都是根據(jù)其他故事改編的。他缺乏想象力，不幸的是，想象力是寫作的關(guān)鍵。由此推斷出這個(gè)男孩是通過抄襲別人的想法，來完成他早期的寫作的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Suddenly, he had a brainwave.

That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn39。t pletely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the pany. So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of singleuse plastic packaging wasted each year. Five years later, I39。m delighted and proud to share with you that our ine has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we39。ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we39。ve done. And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other firsttime entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)who are my age. I want to connect with them. So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don39。t bee entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a munity.（1）What happened to the author nine years ago?
