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 1 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.
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
写作目的题。写作目的题是主题题型的一种,其答案来源于文章主题句或文章结构。本题答案可从文章各段大意综合得出。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。在随后两段中,作者用亲身经历说明成为成功作家必须忍受困扰与孤独,克服各种困难,故A项对。
