1、Passage 16Many 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 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 writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did
have was a friend who found me a place 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 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 last 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、Translation 5
With awareness of increasing dishonesty in today‘s society, it‘s sometimes implied that in ―the good old days‖ people were better, happier, and more honest. Were they more honest? Maybe yes, maybe no. Long ago, all American schoolchildren knew the historical story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he had overcharged a customer. It‘s the kind of story that we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true. Every society has stories stressing the absolute value of honesty. It‘s these stories that students need to remember when temptation induces them to cheat.
