44 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A)The author and her parents had different views on what to study in college.
(B)The author eventually took a vocational degree.
(C)The author’s parents loved Greek mythology though they did not like their daughter to study literature.
(D)The author’s parents encouraged their daughter to develop creativity and imagination.

I was convinced確信的，說服、堅定的 that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels.

However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished赤貧 backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my hyperactive好動亢奮 imagination was an amusing好笑的，有趣 personal quirk怪癖；古怪 that would never pay a mortgage抵押貸款, or secure固定的, 牢靠 a pension養老金；退休金.  

I know that the irony反效果, 具有諷刺  strikes罷工、折磨 with the force of a cartoon anvil設備, 鐵砧 now.

They hoped that I would take a vocational職業的；業務 degree, but I wanted to study English literature.

A compromise妥協；折衷 was reached that in retrospect回顧 satisfied想要, 滿足 nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages.

Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched摆脱，抛弃 German and scuttled快跑、拋棄 off down the Classics corridor通道, （尤指兩邊是房間的）走廊.  

I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day.

Of all the subjects on this planet行星,I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive（尤指商業機構中的）行政主管 bathroom.

我一直非常清楚自己唯一想做的事情，就是寫小說。然而，我的父母，自小貧困，從沒有上過大學，他們認為我那些過度的想像力是一個滑稽的怪習慣，這個習慣，不能用來付房貸，也不能保住一份養老金。

他們希望我念一個實用的學位；我希望讀英語文學。後來妥協的結果——回過頭來看這個妥協，其實誰也不滿意——是，學外語（Modern Language，一般是對外國語言的統稱）。父母離開的汽車還沒有轉過街角，我就把德語專業換成了古典文學專業。

我 忘了我是否曾經告訴過我的父母我念了古典文學（Classics，主要是學習古希臘、古羅馬的文學，藝術，歷史，語言等），他們可能直到參加我畢業典禮的 那一天才第一次知道。在這個星球上所有的科目裡，我想，在憧憬擁有一間豪華浴室的時候，他們是很難找到一個科目比希臘神話更沒用的了。
