题干

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    A teenager has gained a six-figure sum for a vampire (吸血鬼) novel she wrote after being inspired by the Twilight. Abigail Gibbs, 18, who started writing the book aged 14, released chapters of her novel online, where the book eventually received 17 million hits. Harper Collins in Britain has now signed this talented author following her extraordinary Internet success.

    Miss Gibbs, from Brixham, Devon, who is about to start studying English at Oxford University, is the first author to be discovered on Wattpad. Wattpad is an online library which allows subscribers (用户) to upload or read other people's stories. Miss Gibbs also said Stephenie Meyer's famous Twilight books had influenced her novel, The Dark Heroine. “I read the Twilight and did really enjoy it. At first, my parents were a bit opposed to my writing because I was staying up till 3 a.m. on school nights and they were worried that I might fall behind.”

    Miss Gibbs finished her book at the age of 16. She posted each chapter after she had written it on the Internet site, until she got to five chapters before the end when she stopped. “I had signed with an agent and he basically said, ‘Don't post anymore so as to keep the readers' anxiety”. That was tough because I disappeared in the site for a year and there were a lot of fans asking where I was. I have had so many requests from fans to upload the last five chapters; some people even said they were going to write their own endings.” Her fans can buy the e-book for £2.99, or wait for the paperback book priced at £6.99 in shops next month.

     有一天,身穿长衫的魏校长给学生上课时,问大家:“同学们,你们为什么而读书啊?”

     教室的气氛顿时紧张起来。

     老校长叫起一个出身书香门第的学生,让他回答这个问题,他慢声慢语地说:“为明礼而读书。”

     老校长摇了摇头,又叫一个官家子弟。这个学生很傲慢地回答:“为做官而读书。”

     老校长叹了口气,接着把一个靴鞋老板的儿子叫了起来。他得意洋洋地答道:“为家父而读书。”

     其他一些家境贫穷的学生,有的说;“为挣钱,为吃穿!”也有的说:“为不欺负!”

     这铿锵有力的声音,在小小的教室里久久回响。老校长高兴地说:“______”
