问题     Sometimes file U.S. government goes out of its way to prove it can be an absolute nuisance. Take the case of Southern Clay, Inc., which has a factory at Paris, Tennessee, putting out a clay product for cat boxes best known as "Kitty Litter." It’s a simple enough process, but the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) insists that since clay comes from the ground-an excavation half a mile from the Kitty Litter plant--the company actually is engaged in mining and milling. Therefore, says MSHA, Southern Clay is subject to all the roles that govern, say, coal miners working in shafts several hundred feet down.
    The company has been told to devise an escape system and fire fighting procedures in case there is a fire in its "mine". Southern Clay estimates it will lose 6,000 manhours in production time giving its 250 factory workers special training in how to escape from a mine disaster.
    One thing that has always impressed us about cats, in addition to their tidiness, is that they seem to watch the human world with a sense of wise and detached superiority, as though they wondered what the hustle and bustle is all about. If they grin from time to time, as some people insist, it’s no wonder. [br] The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to______.
选项 A、explain how Kitty Litter is produced
B、describe the Mine Safety and Health Administration
C、show how tidy cats are
D、show that the government can sometimes be a nuisance
