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 hour 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 fortune 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 (自由栏目) writer, 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 I 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 if? 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 efforts.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D、The chances for writers to become successful are small.
答案
D
解析
细节判断题。选项A是文章中没有提到的内容,因为文中没有涉及genuine writer真正的作家的具体内容,只是提了一下作者买了二手打字机后,自我感觉像是一个真正的作家;选项B与文章之中的信息相矛盾;选项C也是文中没有涉及的信息。故选D,作家获得成功的机会很小,与文中第二段第二句意思相符。
