听力原文:
W: I visited mom and dad at the weekend. They said you're starting a business.
M: Yeah. I'm opening a repair shop with a couple of guys from college.
W: Cool. Do I know them?
M: You've met Katie. She started out on the same fine arts courses as me before changing to Fashion Design and Lee did business and computer science, so he'll deal with the money side of things. He'll also repair electronics.
W: And I guess Katie can fix anything made from fabric.
M: Exactly. Meanwhile I'm responsible for anything made from wood and metal.
W: Very environmentally friendly. So what's the business plan? Customers will pay you to fix their stuff?
M: Yes, we will offer repair services but probably the main aim will be teaching people to do their own repair mostly online, but will also run some in person classes.
W: And when something is beyond repair, you could turn it into art.
M: Great idea.

第2小题:男士提到 "She started out on the same fine arts courses as me",说明男士最初的专业也是 Fine Arts,选 C。
