Do you have too much stuff? Are you, dare we say it “untidy”? Say hello to a TV show called “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo”, a home improvement show based on her wildly popular book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. In the show, Marie Kondo acts as a tiny garbage fairy for messy people, visiting their houses to share the wisdom of the “KonMari” method. This method is simple in theory but can be endlessly complex in practice. You divide all the stuff in your house— all of it—into several categories, and then examine each item— all of them—to see if it sparks joy. If it does, you keep it. If it doesn’t, you thank it and neatly discard it. So, is the TV show inspiring people to tidy up? Firsthand accounts seem to indicate a small wave of people bringing piles of donation bags to used goods stores. One store received thousands of bags of used possessions in one day. January is usually the stores’ slow season for donations because it’s cold and people don’t want to bother, but not this January. People seemed determined to clean up their homes. One used bookstore received a month’s worth of books in donations in a week when a man gave over fifty boxes of books from his home. It seems Marie’s TV show is having a big impact after all.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is Marie Kondo’s TV show about?
17. What things can be kept in one’s home according to Marie Kondo?
18. What do we learn about one used bookstore this January?
选项
A、It joined the city’s clean-up campaign.
B、It sold as many as fifty boxes of books.
C、It received an incredibly large number of donated books.
D、It did little business because of the unusual cold weather.
答案
C
解析
细节推断题。短文中提到,Marie Kondo的电视节目还是产生了很大的影响。一月份天气寒冷,通常是商店捐赠的淡季。但今年一月份,人们似乎决心行动起来收拾家里,有人整理出了50多箱书捐赠给一家二手书店,该书店一周内收到的捐书量相当于过去一个月的捐赠量。由此可知,该书店在一月份收到了大量的捐赠图书。
