【答案解析】[听力原文] 11～13 W: First, I'd like you to tell me a bit about your experience. M: Well, I left school after I'd done my A level. W: What subjects did you take? M: French, German and Art. W: Art? M: Well, I really wanted to study Art. But a friend of my father's provided me a job-he's an accountant in the city. W: I see. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that? M: Well, honestly, I didn't like it. So I got a place at the Art College a year ago. W: Did your father mind? M: Well, he was rather disappointed at first. He's an accountant too, you see. W: Have you any brothers or sisters? M: Two brothers, both at school. One's eleven, the other's fifteen—taking his O-levels this year. W: Right. What do you do in your spare time? M: I like jazz and folk music; I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I read quite a lot, and I've done a bit of photography. Also, I've traveled a lot-all over Europe. W: Very interesting, Mr. Brown. I think that's all I wanted to ask about your background.
