【答案解析】[听力原文] W: So, are you doing the internship at the bank next semester? M: Maybe. I'll be doing an internship anyway. My parents want me to take the bank internship because they want me to go into banking. But Dr. Kim has asked me to be her intern. She's doing a study of population growth and wants me to help her. I'd rather work on the population study, but I don't want to disappoint my parents either. W: Do you want your career to be in banking? M: At one time I thought I did. But now I'm much more excited about the idea of working with statistics, you know, doing pure research. W: Then you should do the internship with Dr. Kim on the population study. That way you'll know for sure if pure research is what you want to do with your life. M: My father won't be happy about that. W: How do you know? Talk to him. Tell him why the population project excites you. Tell him it's a great opportunity to work with Dr. Kim, and quite an honor for a professor to ask you like this. That might actually please your father. But in the end, you have to do what makes you happy.
