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 hour 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 U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, 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 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 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.
"...people who die wondering: What if?"(Line 3, Para 3)refers to "those______".
选项
A、who think too much of the dark side of life
B、who regret giving up their career halfway
C、who think a lot without making a decision
D、who are full of imagination even upon death
答案
C
解析
逻辑推断题。根据原句上下文,作者不会成为总在问“what if(如果…会怎样)”的人,并且作者在后一句提出“尽管有不确定性和失败的恐惧,但仍然要不断地践行梦想”,由此可以推论出选项C“那些总在想而不做决定去实践的人”为最佳选项。选项A属于过度推论;选项B属于干扰项,文中没有涉及是否放弃;选项D与文中内容无关,属于干扰项。
