{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. (76) {{U}}I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing.{{/U}} 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 (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects 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 manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten 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 die Wondering: What if (77) {{U}}I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.{{/U}} This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

B．A、writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.
C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
