问题 Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan, 47, the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.　　Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling（姊妹篇） of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,” he says from his office in New York. “It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it's forced upon them in schools.”　　Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says: one story per issue.　　Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It's not about having a message or positive spin（说教）. It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story.

I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody—would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this.”In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means____.（　　）A. editing magazinesB． reading storiesC． making moneyD． writing stories

选项 A. editing magazines
B． reading stories
C． making money
D． writing stories

答案 D

解析最后一段的主旨句为第一句，即Ryan也把One Teen Story看成鼓励有天赋的作者的一种方式。根据最后一段第二句也可得知，Ryan想要把One Teen Story办成第一种针对从事故事创作的作者的杂志。
