  • D. She has a quite extended family.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: What inspired you to act? W: It must have been born in me. I've been doing it since I was 7 years old. Maybe it was my family. Who knows? I just know when I saw a stage for the first time, I wanted to be on it. M: {{U}}How do you balance your life between family and your career?{{/U}} W: How? I don't know how. I just know I do it. But it takes work. I have a great husband, a great set of parents and in-laws, and obviously I have help with a nanny. It's not easy but there are others who do it every day and don't have a high profile job as I do. M: Does it ever get difficult to balance? W: Yup. But what parent has it easy? {{U}}I just never make the difficulty of it all an obstacle. As I said, I just do it.{{/U}} M: Has that always been your philosophy? To simply work through the "obstacles", no matter what? Just do it? W: Yes, but I also find "she works hard for the money" or "she's overcome so many obstacles" a bit overused. {{U}}I know it allows me to stand out in a crowd when the sea of faces can seem so similar, and I know it serves a purpose in inspiring others who might face the same obstacles I faced while growing up.{{/U}} M: You're a tough dame.
