托福og2听力Why does the student mention her high school newspaper? 答案解析

[00:00.00]Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
[00:04.22]Professor: Sandy, how's class been going for you this semester?
[00:07.43]Female Student: Oh, it's great. [00:08.85]I really like your business psychology class, but I have one major concern about the last assignment: you know-the one where we have to interview a local business owner, uh, I mean entrepreneur?
[00:21.81]Professor: Are you having trouble coming up with interview questions?
[00:25.26]Female Student: Well, that‘s just it. [00:26.95]I mean I worked on my high school newspaper for years, so I actually have great questions to ask.[00:33.73]The thing is I’m new to the area, and I don't know people off campus. [00:38.95]So I was wondering if, well, could you possibly give me the name of someone I could interview?
[00:45.89]Professor: You don’t know anyone who owns a business?
[00:48.66]Female Student: Well, yeah, back home my next-door neighbors-they own a shoe store, and they’re really successful -but they’re not local.
[00:56.42]Professor: Well, it wouldn't be fair to the other students if I gave you the name of a contact-but I could help you figure out a way to find someone on your own. [01:06.58]Let’s see. [01:07.78]Do you read the local newspaper?
[01:09.92]Female Student: Sure, whenever I have the time.
[01:12.10]Professor: Well, the business section in the paper often has stories about local business people who’ve been successful. [01:18.38]If you find an article, you could call the person who is profiled.
[01:22.79]Female Student: You mean, just call them up out of the blue and ask them if they‘ll talk to me?
[01:27.58]Professor: Sure, why not?
[01:29.25]Female Student: Well, aren't people like that awfully busy? [01:32.06]Too busy to talk to a random college student?
[01:34.74]Professor: Many people enjoy telling the story of how they got started.[01:38.59]Remember, this is a business psychology class, and for this assignment, I want you to get some real insight about business owners, their personality, what drives them to become an entrepreneur.
[01:51.69]Female Student: Like, how they think?
[01:53.43]Professor: And what motivates them? [01:55.29]Why did they start their business? [01:57.38]I’m sure they'd talk to you, especially if you tell them you might start a business someday.
[02:02.90]Female Student: I’m not sure I’d have the guts to do that. [02:05.69]Opening a business seems so risky, so scary.
[02:09.10]Professor: Well, you can ask them if they felt that way too.[02:12.24]Now you just need to find someone to interview to see if your instincts are correct.
