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。
