F: Mr. Sharp, thank you for giving me this interview. So, my first question is, are you happy with your life? ,M: Am I happy? You may know you are the first person to have asked me this question directly. The others dared not because they were afraid I might say yes. They wanted me to say no so that they could make up stories about me. ,F: What kind of stories? ,M: Brian Sharpe, author of over 100 historical novels, lives in a lonely house 30 miles away from Sydney. But is he happy? (?). ,F: Is that why you have refused many interviews? ,M: I'm tired of being told that I must be unhappy because I'm rich and successful. I'm not unhappy. ,F: Understood. And I'm wondering if you follow a similar pattern of writing.
(A) M: Although I have gained success and happiness, I am always pursing an innovation in writing. (B) M: Indeed I am rich, but I don't feel any happiness because I am always alone. (C) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (D) M: Dan Brown is a successful and happy man, but I am not.
