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] 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
本题是一道涉及文章写作目的类的题目。问文章的写作目的是什么。利用浏览式阅读和跳跃式阅读法,我们知道本文作者主要介绍了梦想当作家和从事写作两者之间是有着天壤之别的。然后以自己的亲身经历告诫年轻人写作生涯充满了艰难和贫困。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“提醒年轻人要想成为一个成功的作家必须经历艰辛”。文章并没有说作家追求名利是不现实的,因此C是错的。文章第一句表达了作者对那些想当作家的年轻人总是予以鼓励,但并没有表明他鼓励所有的年轻人去从事写作。因此D也不是正确答案。B与文章的第一句话不符,同样也不是此题的正确答案。
