Question

______, but the idea of having to work more than ten hours a day without weekends discouraged me.

A．Wanting to be a teacher	B．Although I wanted to be a teacher
C．I had wanted to be a teacher	D．To want to be a teacher

Answer 1

C

考查want的用法。Had wanted to do sth.="want" to have done sth.“本想做某事”。句意“我本來想做老師的，但一想到每天工作10小時，沒有周末，我就放棄了�！盇項是動名詞短語，可以作主語，這里是一個分句，A不完整；although不與but連用，排除B；D項表示目的，與后一分句矛盾，排除D。故選C。
