【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: It"s been hard then to adopt David.
W: We have not even been granted the full adoption. It"s supposed to be happening in the next month. So for the last 18 months I have been a foster parent. I have been visited every 6 weeks by social workers who come into the house and make sure that you are being a good parent, and David"s health is thriving, and asking you all kinds of invasive questions, and you have to put up with it and endure it and you know, I have been fingerprinted about 20 times, and undergone psychological evaluations and I think everybody who goes through adoption has to do this. I am not alone and, but you know, I"d do it again.
M: You would?
W: Yeah.
M: Why?
W: Because David is amazing, because he"s brought so much joy to our lives and more than about him. And so, it was worthy. I think most people will suffer for the things they love.
M: And now at this point in your life, it seems you"re opening, to some part of you, it"s softening, something that is looking for wisdom, usefulness.
W: Well, thank God.
M: Era... what do you mean by that?
W: Well, thank God I am searching for wisdom and usefulness. Em, one hopes that one gets to that point in their lives sooner or later.
M: Do you wish that you could just be anonymous?
W: No, no...
M: No?
W: I mean, yeah, I have moments of it, but I don"t wanna wish that I am not me, I don"t wish I were someone else.
M: What is it that you want to feel about your life?
W: That my soul reached its true potential. And that I did everything that I was put on this Earth to do...
M: Well, thank you, Madonna.
