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.(71)
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, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for 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 got a break and began to doubt myself.(72)
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 died wondering: What if I would keep putting my dream to 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.
The passage is meant to______.
选项
A、warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B、encourage young people to pursue a writing career
C、show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth
D、advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。第一段中作者告诫年轻人,“成为作家”和“写作”之间存在极大的差异。在第二、三段中,作者用亲身经历说明成为成功作家必须忍受孤独,克服各种困难。所以作者是在警告年轻人成为作家必须经历的困苦和磨难。故选A。
