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] "Shadowland" in the last sentence refers to ______.
选项
A、the wonderland one often dreams about
B、the bright future that one is looking forward to
C、the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
D、a world that exists only in one’s imagination
答案
C
解析
依据文章最后“...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.”显然,最后一句中的This应该指代前面的“uncertainty and fear of failure”是指一种不敢肯定,无法把握的心态。但也是每个梦想成功的作家的必经之途,所以选项C符合题意。A
