I didnt even like to answer the telephone for fear Id have to talk to somebody I didnt know. I enjoyed the loneliness of exploring nature. However, at school I had to spend all day in the pany of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of lime studying and was rewarded with good grades. My only failure was Spanish Id get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part.Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and determined to change my outlook and behavior.

The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “M radio land” terrified me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonies (交响乐）and a public service announcement to read, and a list of posers names to pronounce. It wasnt hard for me. I left the recording session (录音时段）with a sense of relief and a sense of acplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel fortable talking to people.Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, Im still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interview them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel disfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But Im also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed.29.What do we learn about the author?A.She didnt like reading.B.She didnt work hard enough.C.She wasnt interested in music.D.She wasnt good at speaking Spanish.30.How did the author feel before the interview?A.Very excited.
