I don't know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet's Soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antony's “Funeral Oration”, Grey's “Elegy”, and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all.
He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc. , and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in playwriting which had just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there, became obsessed with the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London. I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms--a bedroom and a sitting room--in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.
We may conclude, in regard to the author's development as a writer, that his father ________.
A.made an important contribution
B.insisted that he choose writing as a career
C.opposed his becoming a writer
D.insisted that he read Hamlet in order to learn how to be a writer

In the 1920s and the 1930s,the short story, as a form, was difficult to sell. Readers found it an awkward compromise between a poem and a longer novel. The long-short story or novella was scarcely known. Certain comic geniuses like P. G. Wodehouse found it easy to reach and keep a vast public with short stories, either alone or in series. And of course there was W. Somerset Maugham. But the less accomplished writers found the market dwindling even further.
Since 1945, the entire literary picture has changed. Fiction of ail kinds, but above all the short story, has become more and more uneconomic to publish. Many magazines have gone out of business. As a type, the "man of letters", puffing a pipe, has almost vanished, to be replaced by the university lecturer or the television scriptwriter. The public is not attracted by imaginary plots in books but prefers the actual, the real story of real people. For those who do not read at all, television provides an enticing alternative.
Such a decline is in many ways a sad one because the old-time short story had a human quality about it which is now eroded. Yet, in an odd way, in our chaotic electronic age, the short story still has a prospect of living. It has been discovered by film scriptwriters that the form. of the short story provides a useful structure for television; it readily provides the basis for a one-hour programme.
The best title for this passage is ______.
A.The Short Story and Television
B.The Short Story and the Public
C.The Short Story: Past and Present
D.The Short Story: Form. and Content
