Parkinson: Oh, I say, what a question! Ive never been asked t

4、hat before. Urn, I think that the prerequisite obviously is curiosity. I think thats the, er, a natural one, not an assumed one. I think the people who have, um, done my job and the graveyard of the BBC is littered with them, their tombstones are there, you know who failed to have been because basic

5、ally theyve not been journalists. Um, my training was in journalism. Ive been 26 years a journalist and, er, to be a journalist argues that you like meeting people to start with, and also you want to find out about them. So thats the prerequisite. After that, I think theres something else that comes

6、 into it, into play, and I think, again, most successful journalists have it its a curious kind of affinity* with people, its an ability to get on with people, its a kind of body warmth, if you like. If you knew the secret of it and could bottle it and sell it, youd make a fortune.Interviewer: When

7、youve done an interview yourself, how do you feel whether its been a good interview or not a good interview? Parkinson: I can never really tell, er, on air. I have to watch it back, because television depends so much on your director getting the right shot, the right reaction. You cant; its | amazin

8、g. Sometimes I think Oh, thats a boring interview and just because of the way my director shot it, and shot reaction, hes composed a picture thats made it far more interesting than it actually was.Interviewer: How do you bring out the best in people, because you always seem to manage to, not only re

9、lax them, but somehow get right into the depths of them. Parkinson: By research, by knowing, when you go into a television studio, more about the guest in front of you than theyve forgotten about themselves. And, I mean thats pure research. I mean, you probably use . in a 20-minute interview, I prob

10、ably use a 20th of the research. Material that Ive absorbed, but thats what youre gonna have to do. I mean I once interviewed Robert Mitchum* for 75 minutes and the longest reply I got from him was yes. And that . thats the only time Ive used every ounce of research and every question that Id ever t

11、hought of, and a few that I hadnt thought of as well. But that really is the answer its research. When people say it to you, you know, Oh you go out and wing it*, I mean thats nonsense. If anybody ever tries to tell you that as an interviewer just starting, that you wing it, theres no such thing. It

12、s all preparation; its knowing exactly what youre going to do at any given point and knowing what you want from the person.Interviewer: And does that include sticking to written questions or do you deviate*? Parkinson: No, I mean what you do is you have an aide memoir*. I have, my . my list of quest

13、ions arent questions as such, theyre areas that I block out*, and indeed, I cant remember, I cant recall, apart from the aforesaid Mr. Mitchum experience, when Ive ever stuck to that at all. Because, quite often youll find that they spin off into areas that youve not really thought about and perhaps

14、 its worth pursuing sometimes. The job is very much like, actually, traffic cop; youre like youre on point duty and youre . you know, youre directing the flow of traffic when youre directing the flow of conversation. Thats basically what youre doing, when youre doing a talk-show, in my view.Intervie

15、wer: Have you got a last word of encouragement for any young people setting out on what theyd like to be a career as an interviewer? Parkinson: I, I, envy them, I mean, I really do. I mean Id go back and do it all again. I think its the most perfect job for any young person whos got talent and ambit

16、ion and energy. And the nice thing about it is that the proportion of talent is only five percent; the other 95 percent is energy and no examinations to pass. Id love to do it over again.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences
