The family of Sirycs refused all the benefits of civilization. Now they live in a forest near Zhitomir and enjoy their hermit’s life.
52 year-old head of the family Ivan Siryc, his wife Victoriya and their 12-year-old son Stepan live in a sun-dried hut, covered with thatch(茅草屋顶). There are 3 rooms in it(each of them is about 2 square meters). They are joined together with the other room, in the middle of which the stove can be found.
The Sirycs happen to be indoors only in winter, in summer they spend all their time in the workshops. During the whole year a hayloft serves as a bed for them. They even made a glass roof above it to see the stars. They say, no one can see such a wonderful view in the city. As for the toilet, they didn’t build it at all. They just have some special place in the forest not far from their hut.
To move into such conditions was a joint decision. 8 years ago the Sirycs were successful artists in Moscow. But one day they accidentally heard on the radio the story about the dolmens(巨石墓)on the Caucausus and decided to go there. Stepan at that time was 8 months old. Victoriya remembers herself sitting near the brook and holding her son in her arms while Ivan was examining those wonderful places. When he returned they both suddenly realized they wanted to change their life.
Now the Sirycs eat only raw food, because they believe the food heated to 40℃ immediately becomes dead. So they eat berries, pickled and dried mushrooms. The latter tastes like chips, they say. But you should be careful and not to eat too much of them, because they swell in your stomach and you can feel like you’ve overeaten afterwards.
So at first they were vegetarians, now they are raw food eaters but what they really dream about is to become "air eaters". Such people’s bacteria produce all necessary elements from air and are gradually becoming younger and even able to "grow" new organs. Victoriya, for example, has already grown two new teeth.
As for their son Stepan, he goes to school once a month. He’s in the 4th grade now. But actually he doesn’t like to go there because other children often tease him because of his long hair. But Stepan can’t cut them off because he believes this is connection with cosmos.
His father taught him to draw and make sculptures. Later he’s going to become a sculptor. [br] The growth of Victoriya’s two new teeth is most importantly attributed to
选项
A、her vegetarian diet.
B、the raw food she eats.
C、the air she takes in.
D、her intrinsic physical growth.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的two new teeth定位到倒数第3段最后一句,该句中的for example表明该句的举例是为了说明上一句关于air eaters的描述,可见能长出新牙,主要与air有关,故本题应选C。
