W: I’m backstage at the Birmingham Hippodrome with the comedian Brian Conley. Hello Brian.
M: Hello.
W: Birmingham’s done well for you over the years, hasn’t it?
M: (22) It certainly has. I love this theatre. I’ve got some great memories here.
W: So where did it all begin,this comedy career? When was your first time on stage?
M: The first time I was on stage was when I was two. I was at this holiday camp and my mum and dad lost me in the dance hall. Then they heard people laughing and saw me up on stage making a fool of myself. That was it after that. I was totally obsessed. (23) But what has also driven me is the fact that I found it difficult to keep up at school,because my writing was bad,so I naturally became the class clown,the school joker. But I was always a good singer,and singing was always my first love. Comedy came later.
W: And you still do comedy now.
M: Yeah, I do. (24) There’s a big demand for it these days, but a lot of famous comedians can’t do it. I’ve learnt how to handle it over the years,and I’ve got an answer for every situation now. I had to fall into it really. It pays the mortgage.
W: And do you still get nerves?
M: (25) A guy once said to me that it doesn’t get any easier. I dismissed that. I used to reckon that as I got older and more experienced I’d be more relaxed and I wouldn’t get so nervous. But I realize that he was right. I want to do well,and that affects how you feel before the performance.
W: Brain,thank you very much.
22. What can we learn about Birmingham Hippodrome?

B、He no longer feels nervous because he is more experienced.
C、He becomes more relaxed and doesn’t get nervous now.
D、He still gets nervous because he wants to do well before the audience.

答案 D

解析 对话中男士提到,有人曾告诉他要想做到不紧张并不容易。他原来不以为然,觉得随着年龄增长,经验更丰富的时候,就会更加放松,不会紧张了。但后来他意识到那个人是对的,因为他想做好,而这会影响演出前的感觉。由此可见,他还是会感到紧张。故答案为D)。
