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.
In the sentence "... people who died wondering"(Para. 3), "who" refers to those______.
选项
A、who think a lot without making a decision
B、who regret giving up their career halfway
C、who think too much of the dark side of life
D、who are full of imagination even upon death
答案
B
解析
词语理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“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)?”可知,作者不想成为那种后悔没能坚持理想的人,本句中的who指代的是“那些后悔没有坚持理想的人”。故选B。
