Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “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 and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit 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 reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be 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.

(答案→)D 解析:这篇文章的作者对所谓的《100个必须旅游的地方》、《100本必须要读的书》等书是持抵制和鄙视态度的。也正是因为如此,他出炉了《101件死前不要做的事》。在这些事情中,和海豚一起游泳其实是对海豚生命的伤害和威胁;去看蒙娜丽莎的微笑,也会因为人满为患而索然无趣……但说到底,他是为了自己的新书打广告。【小题1】从此句判断而出:“Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).”【小题2】从这两句可看出答案:“In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.”,并且作者还开玩笑的说:如果蒙娜丽莎知道了她现在的名声和卢浮宫里游人如织的情景,她早就不是微笑,而是大笑了。【小题3】从此句“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:”可知。虽有借踩踏其他名单而抬高自己之嫌,但是这确是他打广告的目的——售书。【小题4】从“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.”可知,作者终极目的是要把读者拉到他的网站来买书,还提供八折购书。
