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.
In Line 13"...people who died wondering’’, ’’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
浯意题。本题可以依据该句所在的上下文做出判断。在题干定位的句子中作者说自己不想成为的那种人,而在下一句话中,作者说自己要坚持实现梦想。通过对比,可知those who die wondering指那些没能坚持下来,放弃了自己理想的人。
