单选题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}
Many a young person tells me he wants
to be a writer. (76) {{U}}I always encourage such people, but I also explain that
there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing.{{/U}} In most
cases these individuals 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 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? (77)
{{U}}I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with
uncertainty and fear of failure.{{/U}} This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone
with a dream must learn to live there.

单选题In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.
"A lot of times, what happens is that the poster is not enough," Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. "So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I"m doing here today." Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N. Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.
According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than 1 million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts.
"Right now, we don"t have a solution on how to combat it, so we"re trying to do some different things than what has happened before," Johnson says.
Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. "The safest sex is no sex," he says. "But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with "Hey, if you"re going to do it, you"ve got to protect yourself and your partner.""
Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that."
