听力原文： After years of study, I hove determined there are only two types of people in this world: Those who get to the airport early and those who walk in just as the plane is about to take off. If there were any justice in the world, the early airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late airport people would be punished. But there is no justice. I know I hove been an early airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first but it will be the last luggage to come off the plane when we land. You know who really gets his luggage first when we land？ The late airport person, who rushes into the airport three minutes before the plane takes off. "But if I get there real early," I told myself, "I will get the best seat." Well, no matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three days ahead of me and asked for that seat. The utmost embarrassment of the early airport person happened to me a few years ago when I was flying from New York to Chicago, When I got to the ticket counter, the person there said, "Sir, you hove a seat on the 9:15 A.M. flight, is that right？" "Yea. ' I said. "Well, it's only 7:00 A. M. and the 7:05 A.M. flight has not left yet. If you hurry you can make it." I was too embarrassed to say that I arrived early so I wouldn't have to hurry. Instead, I ran down the corridor to the plane.

On Being a Matchmaker

The first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. I'm very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking(媒人) ideas come while I'm in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom.

Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970.

Over the last few years we've been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, a bout 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人) find someone that they get on very well with. We're great triers. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle...

Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon be came clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, "But a woman can't start to love you if your shirt smells." The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love.

What does the author mean by saying "I'm very organized"？

A．She is especially capable of organizing things.

B．She has a fixed plan for her everyday activities.

C．She likes to remember things she has to do.

D．She always finishes what she does on time.
