Why did Sean Fitzpatrick go to America? [br]
You will now hear part of an interview with Sean Fitzpatrick, an Irishman who went to live in New
York. For questions 11 to 15, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
W(Interviewer): With me now is Sean Fitzpatrick, who is from Northern Ireland. Now you went to live in New York about seven years ago. Is that right?
SF: Yeah, it was about that, yeah.
W: Can you tell me what made you decide to do that?
SF: Well, I don’t know really. I mean, I think 1’ d always wanted to live in New York. It had al ways been a kind of dream of mine, you know, to go there. I was out of work at home, and I scraped the money together and I just went. Luckily I found some very well paid work over there as a bartender.
W: I see. And is there anything about Ireland that you miss particularly?
SF: Well, I miss my family, obviously, and I miss my friends, but nothing else really.
W: Right. So you’ re very happy in New York. What is it that you particularly like about New York?
SF: Well, I get a lot more money over there for a start, which is great. And the whole lifestyle is much faster, you know—it’ s like living life on the edge. It’ s great and I have an excellent social life. It’ s like a big party every day of the year.
W: Is there anything else?
SF: Well, I really like the sport over there. I really enjoy it, now. In fact, the best moment I’ve had, I think, since I went to America, was when I went to watch the New York Giants win the Superbowl, which was absolutely fantastic. The whole place was electric. It was great.
W: Right. Well, it all sounds very positive, but is there anything that you don’t like about New York?
SF: It’ s quite a dangerous place to live in because the crime is pretty bad. I mean I’ve been mugged twice already, and that’s very unsettling. I don’t like that, of course.
W: Do you think that living in New York has changed you in any way?
SF: I don’t think so. Not really. I mean the only difference I would say is the amount of nonsense that I have to listen to from the customers in the bar. They talk a lot-the Americans you know what I mean? And they talk a lot of rubbish a lot of the time. But other than that, no, it’ s great.
W: Good. Thanks.
选项
A、He has calmed down a lot since he went to New York.
B、He is better able to defend himself.
C、He has got used to listening to people talking nonsense.
答案
C
解析
最后SF说纽约并没有改变他,如果说有,就是习惯了美国人谈论一些无聊的事,故选C。
