阅读理解 The Wrestler Who Became an Author Pete Watson looks like the biggest, sweetest teddy bear you ever saw. It is only when he opens his mouth that you notice his missing front teeth. He is a three-time world champion wrestler and now an author who has written several novels. However, what impresses people most is not his status as a champion or an author, but his unique understanding of wrestling. Watson does not come from a traditional wrestling family. His father was an athletics director with a PhD, while his mother was a physical education teacher. He was a big boy, who was often bullied for his size. One day his neighbor had a go at him, and for the first time Watson realized that he could use his weight and size instead of feeling awkward about it. It was a turning point. At college, he did a degree in communication studies. Meanwhile, he was learning the ropes of professional wrestling. His parents did not object to his learning to wrestle. They were just really insistent that he finished college. "I am pretty sure that they thought I'd get hurt and quit, but I didn't," he said. Watson insisted on the training and enjoyed every game. Once he said to his fans, "The process of the games is the most enjoyable thing for me. It's good to have a lot of cheers during the games. They encourage me to do it better." Some fans asked him what he thought of wrestling, for they wanted to know if he had to be a good actor to become a good wrestler. Watson gave a definite answer. "I used to really dislike the acting label," he said. "But it is acting. When it's really good, when you're feeling it and letting that real emotion fly, it comes closer to being real." Now Watson has retired and devoted the time to his family and books—his next novel is about boy wrestlers living on the same block. He does not think this life is so different from wrestling. "Wrestling is all about characters," he says. "So when my fans hear I've written a novel, I don't get the sense that they feel I've abandoned them." （1） According to Paragraph 2, what was the turning point for Watson? A .

A . his books are all about his past profession B . his work is still connected with characters C . his fans still follow his career with interest D . his family gives him the same support as before 答案： D A B
