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] The passage is meant to________.
选项
A、warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B、advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C、show young people it’ s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D、encourage young people to pursue a writing career
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。在通读全文的基础上,可以概括出作者的用意是要告诫年轻人在成功道路上一定会充满艰辛,但还是要坚持梦想。选项B与文章内容相悖;选项C并不是全文的意图,以偏盖全;选项D不是全文的主旨。故选A。
