二、阅读理解。
In order to tell what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.
The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music. My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn't think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background，this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Springhill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn't earn (挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a conservatory (音乐学院) of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing.
Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by.
My wish was to save enough to quit (退出) and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally bit by bit, earned enough to make me able to go abroad. At that time, ______. The family got out of the trouble and I planned to go to Europe. I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years，worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it.
“Enjoyed”is too soft a word. I_walked_on_air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family，but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.

A.my point was “business was not for me”
B.my help was no longer necessary
C.I earned so much to support my family
D.I got up early to practice the violin
19.From the underlined sentence “I walked on air”， it can be inferred that the writer __C__ .
A.couldn't find his place in a new environment
