Many young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely 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 lonely, private and poor - paying. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20 - year career in the U.S. Army to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no expectation 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 typewriter and felt like a true writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough 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 gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the test------even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.
This is the
shadow - land
of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
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 wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
C、He found his dream would never come true.
D、He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
答案
D
解析
因果关系考题。本题问作者为什么在开始写作生涯一年后竞开始怀疑起自己来。根据文章第三节第一句:然而,一年左右之后,我却没有取得任何突破,便开始怀疑起自己来,这“没有取得任何突破”显然就是怀疑自己的原因,故选D0他没有看到情况改观(向好的发向转变)。这里需要注意的是:没有取得任何突破,并不意味着没有文章或书发表,而仅是说经济窘迫依旧,挣的钱只能勉强糊口。因此,不可选“A。他连一本书都没出过”作为答案。
