Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 books to read”. Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”:
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong after all. But they can be quite annoying standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security read. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

B．believes other lists are not humorous enough
C．intends to persuade people to read more lists

試題分析：你是否厭倦了“100件必須做的事”之類的說法？那么就來看看這本書吧，《101件不要做的事》 。想知道更多？那就先看看這里的簡介。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳).”可知，海豚在于人們距離過近游泳時(shí)可能會(huì)有生命危險(xiǎn)。故選D。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第三段可知人們要跑好長的隊(duì)才能看上15秒鐘，你去了以后會(huì)很失望，因此建議不要去。故選B。
小題3:推理判斷題。由“Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!”可知這本書的創(chuàng)作意圖是為了提供給讀者不一樣的列表書籍類型。故選D。
