Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer. ’
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor - paying affair. For every writer kissed by for tune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20 - year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What fie. I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. [br] What can be concluded from the passage?
选项
A、Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B、A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D、The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
答案
D
解析
“The chances for a writer to become successful are small.”(一个作家成功的可能性是很小的。)依据文章第二段第二句“For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.”(在每个受到命运之神青睐的作家背后,有成千上万个作家对成功的渴求从来没有得到过回报。)可以确定,D应该是可以得出的结论,选项A、B、C都不符合题意,应排
