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. (26) "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 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. (27) 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 shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
26. Why do some individuals want to be writers according to the speaker?
27. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing?
28. What does the passage mean to imply?
选项
A、They think writers have wealth and fame.
B、They like writing.
C、They want to enjoy loneness.
D、They follow some examples.
答案
A
解析
因果关系题。四个选项都有they,由此可以推测,该题内容和they做什么有关。根据“these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at a typewriter”这句话可知,有些人想成为作家的原因就是为了获得财富和名声,因此A是正确答案。
