问题     Delta Goodrem says she’s learnt a lot over the past few years. But one little nugget of wisdom she’ll be taking with her when she moves to New York next month is the advice to keep her private life private.
    "Being in Australia and the UK definitely taught me a lot very young, " the 20-year-old girl said. "You make mistakes and go, okay, I need to protect myself here or I need to do this. And they(the media)can get any information they want from the past but I guess it is just a matter of keeping things more private. I don’t know exactly what I have learnt. All I know is that I have a totally different perspective on things now. "
    Goodrem, who first became a household name as Nina Tucker on Neighbours, has rented an apartment in New York with Irish singer boyfriend Brian McFadden in a bid to break into the lucrative US market. She will move to the US following her Visualise national tour which kicks off officially this week.
    "I am not moving, " Goodrem said. "1 still have my home in Sydney. I am just having a place to rent(in New York)because I can’t live out of a hotel. It is fine(living in hotels)but I have done it for quite a long time now and I feel like I’d like to have a base in the place I am going to be in. So Brian(McFadden)and I are renting a place. "
    Goodrem will release a hybrid of her first two albums, Innocent Eyes and Mistaken Identity, in the US and recently did a series of showcase gigs to American music executives through her local label Sony BMG.
    For the moment, Goodrem is keenly focused on her first ever national tour, marking her first major live gigs since she underwent cancer treatment in 2003. The tour began with a preview show at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Sunday but officially starts on Friday in Perth before the singer performs dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney and Hobart.
"This is what I do, " she said. "This is what I have worked hard for. This is the first time I have got to do an arena show and I just want it to be really relaxed and enjoy it.
    Media reports leading into the tour have focused on poor ticket sales despite a number of shows selling out. But that doesn’t seem to bother the singer. " As long as those people in there think it is one of the best shows they have ever been to, then I am a very lucky girl, " she said. "You don’t worry if it is going to be full. "
    Goodrem has sold millions of albums, enjoyed seven number-one singles and received eight ARIA awards from her two albums. She is undoubtedly one of the Australia’s most successful recording artists ever, and with the full support of Sony BMG’s US label Columbia Records, Goodrem is likely to go well in the US.
What is the main idea delivered by the passage?
选项 A、Goodrem will continue to keep her private life private.
B、Goodrem will have another success in the US.
