When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couple – people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think. (248words)
选项
What can you infer from the passage?
A The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable
B Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town
C Only those who don’t have enough money to rent furniture
D People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented
答案
B
解析
这是一道推断题。本题询问从本篇文章中可以推断出什么结果,因此需要通篇阅读。文章中谈到目前有越来越多人开始接受租用家具这一做法,因此选项A错误。租用家具的人不仅包括资金不足的年轻人还有许多由于工作往来不同城市的人,所以选项C也是错误的。选项D“人们越来越喜欢他们租用的家具”这个观点在文章中没有谈到,故选项D也是错误的。文章结尾处谈到租用家具还是一个新的想法,很多人还不能完全接受,选项B“在这对夫妇的家乡,租用家具并不流行”与此观点相符,故选择B。
