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 fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), 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 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] Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
选项
A、He wasn’t able to produce a single book.
B、He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
C、He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D、He found his dream would never come true.
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问本文作者在从事写作生涯的一年以后为什么会开始怀疑自己。利用查阅式阅读法,我们很快可以在文章第三段第一句话中找到相关信息。这句话指出,然而,一年以后,我仍然没有取得什么进展,于是就开始怀疑自己。因此,本题的正确答案应该是B“因为他没有看到情况有什么好转”。
