My wife and I had booked and paid for our tickets over the Internet and were now trying to collect them. Nowhere had it warned us that there wasn't an SNCF ticket office in Geneva. Rather than miss our train, we paid for two more tickets and spent three hours sitting with several people who smoked one cigarette after another between Geneva and Pads. Fortunately, we were able to get Our money back for the unused tickets without any difficulty through the customer service office at the Gare de Lyon.
I have to admit at this point that not only do I love France and the Franch, I also think that their trains are second to none, anywhere in the world. Having said that, the SNCF Internet ticket- buying process (过程) is very French in nature and requires considerable patience. This is where we fell into the "no SNCF office in Geneva" trap (困境). Once you've figured it out, however, it can work very smoothly and is usually more convenient than buying tickets in the US. This is how you go about it.
Where did the writer run into a problem with their ticket reservation?

A. In Paris.
B. In Geneva.
C. In the Gare de Lyon.
D. In a city in the United States.

听力原文: I grew up in Scotland. And that was where I first became interested in mu- sic. I've never been outside the country before I joined a rock group. Scot- land has no music industry as such. Everything in terms of the industry goes through London, which makes it quite difficult for Scottish artists to really attract any national attention in the United Kingdom. I think Scottish artists work just by themselves a lot of the time. Edinburgh is a very artistic city. It's sort of known as the artistic center of Scotland and also has quite any effect on the UK scene because it has an arts exhibition every summer and a film week every year. There are a lot of chances at that time for us to attract a huge following. There have always been a lot of popular music groups. The Scots are very friendly and really love to get together. Playing in the bars and cafes is a very common way of reaching the fans. They all sing a- long. There are a lot of great things coming out of Scotland now which is very exciting. It goes in waves. It's becoming quite common for the record companies to come north. And at the moment, I think Scotland is enjoying a sort of rebirth in a sense. With the huge success of Scottish artists over the last ten years, twenty years, they have to rethink. There's just a lot of new development and much more variety now than there was when I was fifteen.
What does the speaker mainly tell us about?

A. Music in Scotland.
B. Art events in the UK.
C. Music industry in London.
