【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 23-25 W: Now let's go back to your first novel, Rag Doll. When did you write that? M: Rag Doll, yes. I wrote that in 1961, a year after I left school. W: How old were you then? M: Um, eighteen? Yes, eighteen, because a year later I went to Indonesia. W: Mm. And of course it was your experience in Indonesia that inspired your film Eastern Moon. M: Yes, that's right, although I didn't actually make Eastern Moon until 1978. W: And you worked in television for a time too. M: Yes, I started making documentaries for television in 1973, when I was thirty. That was after I gave up farming. W: Farming? M: Yes, that's right. You see, I stayed in Indonesia for eight years. I met my wife there in 1965, and after we came back we bought a farm in the West of England, in 1970, a kind of experiment, really. W: But you gave it up three years later. M: Well, yes. You see it was very hard work, and I was also very busy working on my second novel, The Cold Earth, which came out in 1975. W: Yes, that was a best-seller, wasn't it? M: Yes, it was, and that's why only two years after that I was able to give up television work and concentrate on films and that sort of thing. 23. How old was the man when he went to Indonesia?
