(I): And where do you hope to be in about, say, ten years?
   (S): Really fast broadband is going to change the way we work. In terms of transferring big amounts of data around and stuff, it’s going to get easier and easier. So I do think that in 10 years’ time I’m certain, you know, you’ll want some "face time" as they say for meetings and all that sort of stuff. And physically, for filming some things you’ll have to be there. But very often, it won’t matter where on earth you are in the world so I am actually planning on buying a place in Portugal or Spain and continue my post-production stuff overseas.
   (I): Would you recommend it as a career, or do you have any advice for people who are thinking of taking it up?
   (S): I would definitely encourage people to come to Britain to work in the creative industries; they are some of the best in the world in terms of content, ideas, execution. The creative talents and the technicians in this country are fantastic. My one tip would be: make sure that you’ve got that endurance, that capacity, to endure because you’re going to be faced with long hours, some difficult people and occasions where you’re paid very little. So make sure that you’re determined and focused on working in these industries. You can’t be a tourist so to speak. You know Britain is a fantastic place to work in the creative industries because there is a very huge buzz, very high training and people are really passionate about what they do. But it’s also extremely competitive and the number of places for people to work in is a lot smaller than the number of people trying to get work. So you have to be very tenacious, you have to really want to do it. It is glamorous, it’s long hard hours and you have to be pretty thick-skinned. So give it a try and if you care about it, do it. But if not, you can make a lot more money a lot more easily doing something else.
   (I): So, you do think young people should think before act.
   (S): Yes. They need to be rational. Yet I still would recommend it as a career. It’s enormously enjoyable, much more creative than most people’s jobs are, much more varied than most people’s jobs are. Financially, I hate to say it but I’m now doing really quite well. In terms of the advice I’d give to someone, don’t give up because there’ll be endless barriers in your way. You know you get all these false horizons where you think you’re about to get a big break and then, you know, it just turns into nothing. So, the cost of making mistakes is huge and keep in mind never make any mistakes. That’s the most important thing of all because you only get one chance. So that’s it — be careful don’t make any mistakes! Well as a young professional in a creative industry myself, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. And you do get to meet the nicest people.
   (I): OK. Mr. Smith. Thank you very much for coming on the show and talking to us.
   (S): My pleasure.

答案 C

解析 推断题。访谈主持人问史密斯先生是否建议人们从事创意产业。史密斯先生的回答是肯定的:I would definitely encourage people to come to Britain to work in the creative industries…选项A未提及,可首先排除。他提到:My one tip would be:make sure that you’ve got that endurance.that capacity, to endure because you’re going to be faced with long hours,some difficult people and occasions where you’re paid very little.So make sure that you’re determined and focused on working in these industries.可见要从事创意产业必须具备坚毅的品质,选项C正确。根据“But it’s also extremely competitive and the number of places for people to work in is a lot smaller than the number of people trying to get work.So you have to be very tenacious…But if not,you can make a lot more money a lot more easily doing something else.”可知创意产业竞争相当激烈,找到工作并不容易,如果不下决心从事该项事业,人们完全可以在其他行业赚取更丰厚的收入,因此可以排除选项B和D,所以答案为C。
