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] What can be concluded from the passage?
选项

B、A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D、The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
答案
D
解析
本题是一道结论类问题。问从文章中我们可以推断出什么结论。通读全文内容,我们知道作者在文章中主要介绍了写作生涯中的困苦和成为成功作家的艰难。尤其文章第二段第二句指出,对于每一个幸运成功的作家来说,他的背后还有众多的人永远无法实现自己的作家梦。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“成为成功作家的几率是很小的”。
