听力原文:W: Well, Mr. Smith, we have had an interesting discussion about your work. Now, tell us something about your after work activities.
M: I guess not much different from everyone else. I'm interested in sport, and I run about three miles every day. I particularly enjoy cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on While I'm running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.
Next year I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race--26 miles, or 42 kilometers--and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old, and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as fit as I was twenty years ago.
I'm interested in climbing as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger, and I've done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in Mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt iii as soon as she got above 1,000 meters, so we decide to follow different hobbies.
W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation. All right, Mr. Smith. Thanks for your interesting talk.
What are the man's hobbies?

A. Running and thinking.
B. Running and jumping.
C. Running and climbing.
D. Running and skiing.
