Many a young person tells me 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 these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour 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?
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.
The passage is meant to__________.
A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B．advise 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

Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna (天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. "What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna," said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings, do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures. " Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow's team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complalete change in brain metabolis they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell: phone antenna when the phone was on.
Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. " Al-though the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation," Henry Lai of the University of Wash-ington in the U. S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JA-MA. "Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects. " They wrote.
According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Cell phone use is dangerous.
B．Cell phone use causes cancer.
C．The human brain is an electromagnetic field.
D．There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.
8、 Helen was much kinder to her youngest child than she was to the others，——，0f course，made the others jealous．

9、 Karen: Hello. Could I speak to Justin, Please?
