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.
Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
选项
A、He found his dream would never come true.
B、He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
C、He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D、He was not able to produce a single book.
答案
B
解析
原因题。本题要求判断作者从事写作一年后开始怀疑自己的原因。答案得自文章第三段首句,此句中的break应是“突破,转化”之意。B符合题意。
