听力原文:Q: Who are your target readers?
A: They are people of comparatively higher levels, consisting largely of university students, postgraduates, English workers, those who study English by themselves and lovers of English language. For example, I met some of my target readers in America and England in 1988-1989 when I visited some of the higher institutions as a visiting scholar. They were all young and promising graduate students, very kind and obliging to me. They said that they were the ardent readers of our magazine and as a result of reading it, they had not only enlarged their English vocabulary and then succeeded in getting high grades in TOEFL and GRE, but also learned a lot of knowledge from the selected materials in our magazine which assisted them to go abroad to pursue further study.

听力原文: Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there is a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases they 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 works are 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 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 typewriter and felt like a good writer.
After a year I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew l 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. Anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

Advice of a Writer
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.

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.
