问题     Many young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely 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 lonely, private and poor - paying. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20 - year career in the U.S. Army to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no expectation at all. What I did have was a friend who found 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 typewriter and felt like a true writer.
    After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough 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 gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the 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 means to______.
选项 A、warn young people of the hardships that a writer has to experience
B、advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C、show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D、encourage young people to pursue a writing career
答案A
解析 归纳大意题。本题问本文意图是……。问本文意图与问作者写作目的以及问文章大意和中心思想大致应属同一类型的题。在文章开头的第一节，作者就首先提出了“做作家”与写作的巨大差别，接着在文章所后的第二节第三节里，作者用现身说法的方法告知了年轻人做作家的心酸苦楚。由此不难看出本文意图是A。告诫年轻人一个作家不得不经受的艰辛，故选A。
