问题 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 2、Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?
A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new
B. Because it saves them a lot of money
C. Because it saves them much trouble and money
D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way

答案C

解析这是一道细节题。本题询问为什么人们更喜欢租用家具。文章第二段表述由于工作而被迫频繁来往不同的城市的人和收入少的年轻人喜欢租用家具是因为这样可以为他们省去很多钱和麻烦,选项C与这个表述一致,故选C。
