wants to be a writer. i always encourage such people，but i also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer” and writingin 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 there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. when i left a 20-year career in the u.s. coat guard to become a freelance writer, i had no hope at allwhat i did have was a friend who found me a room in a new york apartment buildingit didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroomi immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer after a year or sohowever, i still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myselfit was so hard to sell a story that i hardly made enough to eatbut i knew i wanted to write，l had dreamed about it for yearsi wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? i would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failurethis is the shadow land of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there60the purpose of the passage is to awarn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience badvise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer cshow young people its unrealistic for a writer to seek wealth and fame dencourage young people to be a writer over a long period of time61what can be concluded from

become successful are little62why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? ahe wasnt able to produce a single book bhe hadnt seen a change for the better che wasnt able to have a rest for a whole year dhe found his dream would never come true63“people who die wondering，what if?” refers to “those ” awho think too much of the dark side of life bwho regret giving up their career halfway cwho think a lot without making a decision dwho are full of imagination even upon death64“shadow land” in the last sentence means athe wonderland one often dreams about bthe bright future that one is looking forward to cthe state of uncertainty before ones final goal is reached da world that exists only in ones imaginationcsome scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. the noise that affect sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. such noises are added to natural sounds. these sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. a noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. in water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. they have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals. the research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. this seriously affected the whales ability to exchange information and find their way. some of the whales even died. the explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. however, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. they want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.65. according to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?a. the man-made noises.b. the noises made by themselves.c. the sound of earthquakes.d. the sound of the ice-breaking.66. as to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?a. they are deaf to noises.b. noises at a certain level may hurt them.c. they are easily confused by noises.d. noises will limit their ability to reproduce.67. we can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would_.a. prevent them from doing their research workb. benefit them a lot in their research workc. do good to their healthd. increase the industrial output68. according to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?a. they will try their best to decrease noise.b. they will work hard to cut down noise pollution.c. they will study the effect of different noises.d. they will protect animals from harmful noises.dinformal conversation is an important part of any business relationshipbefore you start a discussion，however，make
