The Birth of My Kitchen-Table Fiction
By Haruki Murakami
Most people – most of us who are part of Japanese society – graduate from school, then find work, then, after some time has passed, get married. Even I originally intended to follow that pattern. Yet in reality I married, then started working, then finally managed to graduate. In other words, the order I chose was the exact opposite to what was considered normal.
Since I hated the idea of working for a company, I decided to open my own establishment, a place where people could go to listen to jazz records, have a coffee, eat snacks and drink. It was a simple, rather happy-go-lucky kind of idea: running a business like that would let me relax listening to my favorite music from morning till night.

O autor do texto
fez o que era normal para os jovens japoneses na época, abrindo uma loja de discos.
fez o que era normal para os jovens japoneses, mas em uma ordem totalmente diferente.
queria viver feliz ouvindo música o dia todo, sem trabalhar.
queria ganhar dinheiro trabalhando só com música e viver feliz.
Gabarito:
fez o que era normal para os jovens japoneses, mas em uma ordem totalmente diferente.
a) Alternativa incorreta. O autor não abriu uma loja de discos, mas um café/bar que tocava jazz: "[...] I decided to open my own establishment, a place where people could go to listen to jazz records, have a coffee, eat snacks and drink."
b) Alternativa correta. O seguinte trecho confirma que o autor do texto fez o que era normal para os jovens japoneses, mas em uma ordem totalmente diferente: "[...] most of us who are part of Japanese society – graduate from school, then find work, then, after some time has passed, get married. Even I originally intended to follow that pattern. Yet in reality [...] I chose was the exact opposite to what was considered normal."
c) Alternativa incorreta. O autor queria trabalhar em seu próprio negócio e ouvir suas músicas preferidas o dia todo: "It was a simple, rather happy-go-lucky kind of idea: running a business like that would let me relax listening to my favorite music from morning till night."
d) Alternativa incorreta. O autor não queria trabalhar com música, mas abrir seu próprio negócio.
