问题  
W: Charles, among other things, you are regarded as one of the America’s great masters of the Blues, a musical idiom that’s essentially about loss, particularly the loss of romantic love. Why does love die?
M: People often get into love affairs because they have unrealistic expectations about somebody. Then when the person doesn’t turn out to be who they thought he or she was, they start thinking "maybe I can change him or her". That kind of thinking is a mistake. Because when the dust settles, people are going to be pretty much what they are. It’s a rare thing for anybody to be able to change who they really are. And this creates a lot of problems.
W: At 62, you continue to spend a large percentage of your life touring. What appeals to you about life on the road?
M: Music. I don’t especially love life on the road, but I figure if you are lucky enough to be able to do what you truly love doing, you’ve got the ultimate in life.
W: What’s the most widely-held misconception about the life of a famous musician?
M: People think it’s all glamour. Actually we have the same trouble as they do. Playing music doesn’t mean life treats you any better.
W: How do you feel about being recognized everywhere you go?
M: You’d think I’d be used to it by now. But I still find it fascinating. You go to a little town in Japan, where nobody speaks English, yet they know you on site and know all of your music. I’m still amazed by the love people express for me and by music.

答案 D

解析 四个选项均以He开头,A)“他很幸运,能够去很多新奇的地方”、B)“他能够忘记生活中的烦恼”、C)“他能够认识很多有趣的人”和D)“他很幸运,能够做自己喜欢的事情”,四个选项都是在描述男士的美好生活,可以判断对话中一定讲述了男士幸福的一面,听对话时对此类信息要特别注意。对话中女士问男士,他已经62岁了,还经常到处走动,是什么吸引他一直上路,男士毫不犹豫地说是音乐促使他前行,能够做自己真正热爱的事情的人是幸运的,他们能够触碰到生活的极致。由此可见,男士所做的正是他自己喜欢的事情。
