A、A businessman. B、A writer. C、A painter. D、A freelancer. D事实细节题。本题问的是男士现在的职业。女士介绍说，男士在40岁时放弃了一份企业的工作，做了一名记者和摄影师，成为一名自由职业者。

W:(12)At the age of forty you gave up a good job in industry to do what you had always wanted to do—become a journalist and photographer. You’re self-employed and do freelance work. Mr. Evans, do you have any regrets?
M: Yes. That is I didn’t resign from my other job when I was younger!
W: What made you leave the business world?
M: Well, although I had a good salary and a job which involved a lot of traveling abroad, I always felt I was in the wrong job.(13)I felt tense all the time and I suddenly realized that, in spite of security and what seemed to my friends to be an exciting job, I’d stopped enjoying simple but important things.
W: Don’t you consider your choice rather selfish? What about your wife and family?
M:(14)They’re delighted. They see the change in me, find me more relaxed, and therefore my relationship with my wife and family has improved, because I’m not frustrated any more. It’s because I’m doing what I want to do.
W: Do you work as hard as before?
M:(15)Yes, even harder. But I’m self-disciplined and I find that working hard for a few hours gives me time to play hard too. I have a more balanced life.
W: So in fact, you too have a routine life?
M: Of course! Everything becomes routine after a while. But it’s up to us to make that routine a creative experience.
