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. "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 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. 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.
What can be concluded from the passage?
选项
A、A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
B、Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty.
D、The chances for a writer to become successful are small
答案
D
解析
推理题。根据题目位置,可以大体判断答案应在文章开头部分。另外,推理题的出题点一般为定论性话语,因此可以从第二段第二句话中得出答案。该句意为“在每个受到命运之神青睐,获得成功的作家背后,都有数千个对成功的渴求从来没有得到回报的人。
