Miss Parkinson became interested in her own business ______.
M: So, Miss Parkinson, you organize fitness training and beauty treatments for working women?
W: That’s right, Mr. Cruise.
M: Could you tell me how you first got the idea for the business?
W: Certainly. I suppose it all started about 5 years ago. I was on holiday and had a very bad skiing accident. I found that the only thing that helped the pain was massage and gentle exercise, like yoga or stretching exercises. So I used to go to therapists and classes after work.
M: Where did you work at that time?
W: In the training department of a media company.
M: I see.
W: But then I got a promotion to training manager. That meant I worked longer hours and was difficult to get to classes. I asked some of my teachers if they would come to my house instead, and most of them agreed. It was more expensive but I thought it was worth it. Lots of my friends loved the idea too. So I recommended people to them. That’s when I began to realize that maybe I could make a business out of it.
M: Did you give up your job then?
W: No, not immediately. The idea was too scary. I had a good job with a good salary, and starting my own business seemed a bit risky. So I just did it at a hobby really.
M: So why did you leave your job in the end?
W: Well, the decision was made for me really. My company decided to relocate to a different town. They offered me the choice of relocating with them or quite a large sum of money if I preferred to leave. I know an opportunity when I see it. So I took the money!
M: Good for you.
选项
A、before she worked for the media company
B、when she was on holiday five years ago
C、after her friend recommended it to her
D、after she went to therapists and classes
答案
D
解析
对话开头男士询问女士是否创办了服务职业女性的健身和美容机构,接着问及她开公司的想法最初怎么来的。女士提到,一切源于她五年前度假时滑雪出了事,耍通过按摩和瑜伽之类的轻度锻炼止痛,于是她习惯下班后去治疗或上课。但她后来升职当了培训经理,工作太忙,于是让老师到家里上课。很多朋友也觉得这个想法不错,于是她也介绍朋友去。那时,她开始意识到自己可能把它做成一门生意(I could make a business)。由此可知女士有自己做生意的兴趣是在她去治疗和上课之后,D项正确。女士有想法做生意时,还在媒体公司上班,故A项的before不对;五年前度假时她并没有做生意的念头。排除B项;C“朋友介绍生意给她”与对话不符。
