people, but i also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. in most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “youve 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（幸运）there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded(报答). when i left a 20-year job in the u. s. coast guard to become a writer, i had no hopes at all. what i did have was a friend who found me my room in a new york apartment building. it didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. i immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer. after a year or so, however, i still hadnt got a break and began to doubt myself. it was so hard to sell a story that hardly made enough to eat. but i knew i wanted to write. i had dreamed about it for years. i wasnt 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 uncertainty and fear of failure. this is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.9. the passage is meant to _.a. warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experienceb. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerc. show young people its unrealistic for writers to seek wealth and famed. encourage young people to seek good jobs10 what can be concluded from the passage?a. real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.b. a writers success depends on luck rather than on effort. c. famous writers usually live in poverty.d. the chances for a writer to become successful are small11. why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing work?a. he wasnt able to produce a single book.b. he hadnt seen a change for the better.c. he wasnt able to have a rest for a whole year.d. he found his dream would never come true.12 “shadow land” in the last sentence refers to _.a. the wonderland one often dreams aboutb. the bright future that one is looking forward toc. a world that exists only in ones imaginationd. the state of uncertainty before ones final goal is reacheddin the us, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they dont know. this means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. if you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.at american restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. you may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill. most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. if you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. it may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself.supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. some people have “sunday dinner”. this is an especially big noon meal.tips are not usually added to the check. they are not included in the price of the meal, either. a tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. in some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.13. which statement is true?a. american people like sitting with people they dont know.b. a hostess always seats a small group at a large table.c. american people never sit with people they dont know.d. american people would not light a cigarette if
