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.
When the author began writing, he only had______.
选项
A、a second - hand typewriter
B、a friend who helped him find a room to live
C、a cold room without a bathroom
D、empty expectations of his future
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据文章第二节第四句可知:B对。这里只是根据需要改变了人称而已,句义一点没改变。
