单项选择题 A1型题
阅读理解

     F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of

St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917

he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had

to make some money to impress her.

     His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: "My own happiness in the past

often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk

it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary."                         F. Scott Fitzgerald

                                                                                                                               (1896-1940)

     This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald

began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned

(1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923).

But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise

from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published

another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

     However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to

reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During

this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his

dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
