【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Your readers are interested in your childhood. What was it like?
W: I grew up in a small town. We lived in very poor housing but we lived always in very beautiful settings, so I have favorite trees and I have contacted with birds. My parents were farm workers. Though we were poor for most of part, I think I was often happy.
M: It would not have been expected from that background that you"ll become a literary figure. Was your mother ambitious with you?
W: Well, my mother wasn"t especially ambitious with me in the sense of going to college when I grew up. I think her greatest contribution was simply that she loved me very much. No matter what happened, I had my mother with me.
M: She gave you confidence.
W: Oh, she did. She earned very little money, offering about $10 a week and never more than $20 a week. And in spite of that, she managed to buy a typewriter for me. She managed to buy me my first toothpaste when I left home. She just wanted me to be able to do things that she couldn"t do even she didn"t know what they were.
