Many American women are earning money outside their homes today. Among women who are eighteen to sixty-four years old, fifty percent have jobs.

In general, working women have had more education than those staying at home. Of those who work, thirty-two percent have attended college, compared with twenty percent of those who do not have jobs.

Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight percent took a vacation away from home during the past year. Much of their traveling was by air.

These figures come from a report which was written for advertisers, the report shows a new picture of women today. For example, it tells advertisers that fifty-one percent of all American women have traveled by air——along with fifty-nine percent of all American men.

The lesson for American business is that many women now have other interests besides their homes. They like advertisements which show women in office, planes, and cars.

Many a young person tells me that he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases they 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 work is never rewarded. When I left a 20 year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance 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 typewriter and felt like a good writer.

After a year I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that 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 did 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 Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

1. The passage is meant to ____.

A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience

B. advice 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

2. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Good writers often find their work interesting and rewarding

B. Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort

C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation

D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small

3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? ______.

A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book

B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better

C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year

D. He found his dream would never come true

4. “…people who did wondering. What if?” refers to “those_____.”

A. who think too much of the dark side of life

B. who regret giving up their career halfway

C. who think a lot without making a decision

D. who are full of imagination even upon death

5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _______.

A. the wonderful land one often dreams about

B. the bright future that one is looking forward to

C. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached

D. a world that exists only in one’s imagination
