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] 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
本题要求判断作者从事写作一年后开始怀疑自己的原因。依据文章第三段第一句“After a year or so,I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself.”句中的break就是“突破,转化”之意。B“(他还没有看到转机”符合题意,故正确。
