I recall how annoying it was years ago when smoking everywhere was legal in California. Many complained about the restrictions when they arrived, but I didn’t, because I seriously hated watching shoppers smoking through the tomatoes and lettuce in the vegetable section of the store.
People forget how sickening that used to be, especially with the butts all over the grocery store floor. Tossing a burning smoke on the ground, stomping it with your foot, and leaving it to be swept up by somebody else later was somehow OK.
But laws were passed, and you could finally shop without having to buy broccoli while gagging on a nearby Winston.
Grocery stores are now filled with drips talking on cell phones about their sisters. I believe these obnoxious chatterers are all rebellious smokers getting back at us. This is worse than smoking! How did these phones come to dominate our lives like this, and does anyone even try to Resist?
Cell phones now rule the world’s collective unconscious in untold ways. What astonishes me about all this is the sociology that has crept up on us. Why do we have this incessant need to chat on cell phones all day long? Test out this thesis. Make a note of a friend who calls you from both a cell phone and a land-line at different times. Time the calls and note the content. The cell phone calls will always be longer and more inane— without exceptions! [br] According to the 4th paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、People like to talk in grocery stores endlessly about their sisters and family matters.
B、The obnoxious users of cell phone in public places remind us of the smokers in grocery stores years ago.
C、Smokers were angry when laws were passed to forbid smoking in groceries, and they now talked loudly in the shops on cell phone to rebel and revenge.
D、People who now talk incessantly on cell phone in grocery stores are those who liked to smoke there before.
答案
B
解析
本题应选B。依据文章第四段的大意,本题B项最确切,意思是说现在到处都是用手机闲聊的人,该情景很像以往的吸烟者所带来的困扰。
