Passage Two
　　Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
　　Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals 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 dad no prospects 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 manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. 　　After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten 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 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 Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to　live there.
