I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases 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 US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought 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 s ell 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 die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the test (even though it meant living with uncertainly and fear of failure)? This is the shadow-land of hope, and any one with a dream must learn to live there.51. The passage is meant to __________.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. encourage young people to pursue a writing careerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52. What can be concluded from the passage?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 and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small53. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He found his dream would never come true.B. He hadn’t seen a change for the betterC. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He wasn’t able to produce a single look.54.

Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to tra vel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service—they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either.

Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one of the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an old family, and her ancestors had come to the United States 200 years before" Her parents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn’t seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women’s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, she spent a great deal of time in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, she looked at her niece and said, "It’s just a turn --and freedom, Mary !" It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important and creative hours of her life were spent, the hour s when she wrote her poetry. She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors, that is, as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59.
