John Grisham
John Grisham was born on February 2,1955, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in the USA. His father was a construction worker and moved his family all around the southern states of America, stopping wherever he could find work. Eventually they settled in Mississippi. Graduating from law school in 1981, Grisham practiced law for nearly a decade in Southaven, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation (诉讼 )。In 1983, he was elected to the state House of Representatives and served until 1990. One day at the Dessoto County courthouse, Grisham heard the horrifying testimony of a 12-year-old rape victim. He decided to write a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl&39;s father had murdered her attackers. He proceeded to get up every morning at 5 a.m. to work on the novel, called A Time to Kill, which was published in 1988.Grisham&39;s next novel, The Firnwas one of the biggest hits of 1991, spending 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Grisham was then able to give up law and concentrate on writing. Grisham lives with his wife and two children, dividing their time between their Victorian home on a 67-acre farm in Mississippi and a 204-acre plantation near Charlottesville, Virginia.
When he&39;s not writing, Grisham devotes time to charitable causes, including mission trips with his church group. As a child he dreamt of becoming a professional baseball player, and now serves as the local Little League commissioner. He has built six hall fields on his property and hosts children from 26 Little League teams.

正确答案：正确A
注意本题问题是“现在的职业”。从第一段“Graduatingfromlawschoolinl981，GrishampracticedlawfornearlyadecadeinSouthaven，”1981年从法学院毕业后，格雷斯汉姆在南阿旺社区从事了将近十年的法律工作。“Inl983，hewaselectedtothestateHouseofRepresentativesandserveduntil1990．”1983年，他当选为密西西比州众议院议员，一直任职到1990年。文章第二段“Grishamwasthenabletogiveuplawandconcentrateonwriting．”后来格雷斯汉姆可以放弃法律工作而集中于写作了。可见格雷斯汉姆曾是一名律师，又做过几年众议院议员，后来是一名作家。最后一段也提到了他不写作时就去做慈善事业。综上，我们可以看出格雷斯汉姆最后的所从事的职业也就是现在的职业是一名作家。所以本题应该选A。
