问题 Does Shelley think there should be stricter regulations placed on the press? [br]  
M: Shelley Russell, let’s start with you. Do you think there should be greater restrictions placed on the press and the stories they print?
F: Yes, Jim, absolutely. I can’t open a newspaper or magazine without reading stories full of false information about myself or people I know. It’s getting...
M: Sorry, but I can’t believe that you’re actually complaining about free publicity. I mean, I remember, Shelley, before you were famous, you were begging us to write features about you... anything...
F: If you would just let me finish—of course the press has been important. I’m an actress and I understand the power of press. But the thing is, I rarely seem to read anything true about myself these days. Take last week—your paper The Daily Post wrote this story about me and my co-star , who incidentally happens to be married to a very good friend of mine—taking a bath together in my hotel room.
M: Oh, that. That was...
F: Hang on, I haven’t finished. You went on to say that the bath was filled with $5 , 000 worth of champagne. Now...
M: Well, that was just a bit of fun. I don’t think you should take that too seriously.
F: Oh really! You don’t think it’s at all serious that my co-star’s wife is now filing for a divorce...
M: Look, I don’t know whether...
F: Anyway, to get back to what I was saying... The point I’m trying to make here is that famous people have families with feelings. I’m sick of the gutter-press making up stories just so that they can splash sensational headlines across the front page and sell more newspapers—it’s irresponsible and it messes up people’s lives.

选项 A、It’s sensational.
B、It makes sense.
C、It’s understandable.
D、It’s irresponsible.

答案 D

解析 录音最后部分Shelley说她十分厌恶媒体编造故事以在报纸首页占据头条,从而卖出更多的报纸(…the gutter-press making up stories just so that they can splash sensationalheadlines across the front page and sell more newspapers),并表示“这是一种不负责任的行为,扰乱了人们的生活”(it’s irresponsible and it messes up people’s lives),因此D项正确。
