W: Sure, Fred, what is it?
M: I'm worried about my grade in your English class. I really want an "A", but...
W: I see. Well, it might be hard for you to get an "A". So far you have a "B" average. You would need a 97 or 98 on your final exam to get an "A". Do you think you can get that high a score?
M: Probably not. The problem is I have to have a "B" average in all the subjects to get the prize from our government, or I'll have to find a part-time job. I'm afraid it is difficult for me to put all my heart in my study if I have to work in my spare time. I'll probably get an "A" in history and a "B" in math, but I'll get a "C" in chemistry.
W: That is a problem, isn't it? You'll have to have an "A" in English to get a "B" average.
M: Yes, but it doesn't look very good for me right now.
W: I gave two less tests this term than I usually do. That might have changed your grade a little. maybe I’ll give everybody a chance to write a composition in English, Then you'll have a good chance to get an "A".
M: That would be great. I'll try my best. Thank you very much.

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Many a young person tells me that he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I 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 of the long hours 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 typically a lonely, private and low-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who was fond of me and so supplied my room in a New York apartment building. It was cold and had no bathroom; I bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so of this existence, 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 for a weeks' groceries, I felt I was destined 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; anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
The passage is meant to ______.
A.warn young people of the trials what a successful writer experiences early in his/her career
