M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drugstore for ten minutes, it's usually to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there maybe just looking.
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'd buy something, and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have, especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly. But ff you run into buying something specific and have very little time. You pick it up, pay for it immediately and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time and you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt ff that would be true in all stores, though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor - paying affair. For every writer kissed by for tune 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(自由撰稿人), 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 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 fie. 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.
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
A.I am having in no doubt left
B.I have not in doubt left
C.I was left in no doubt
D. leaving me in no doubt left
听力原文:M: Hi, Sarah. What's up?
W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
M: How did it go?
W: Terrible. I'm sure I made a fool of myself.
M: Why? Weren't you prepared?
W: No, it was not that. (23) I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.
M: It's not so bad to blush.
W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer. I will blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn't that ever happen to you?
M: No, not really. (24)Maybe you should just try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.
W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt it'll help.
M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. (25)Blushing, even though it's involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.
W: What do you mean?
M: (25)Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than men.
W: I wonder why?
M: I don't know, but I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
W: I'm not that bad. Well, I've got to get going for my next class. I'll talk to you later.
