问题     In a famous lab trial, a chimp named Sultan put two interlocking sticks together and pulled down a bunch of bananas hanging just out of arm’s reach. Nearly a century later, eager tourists have conducted their own version of the experiment. Equipped with the camera extender known as a selfie stick, they can now reach for flattering CinemaScope selfies wherever they go.
    Art museums have watched this development nervously, fearing damage to their collections or to visitors, as users swing their sticks. Now they are taking action. One by one, museums across the United States have been imposing bans on using selfie sticks for photographs inside galleries (adding them to existing rules on umbrellas, rucksacks, tripods and monopods), yet another example of how controlling overcrowding has become part of the museum mission.
    The Hirshhorn Museum in Washington prohibited the sticks this month, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston plans to impose a ban. In New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has been studying the matter for some time, has just decided that it, too, will forbid selfie sticks. "From now on, you will be asked quietly to put it away," said Sree Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "It’ s one thing to take a picture at arm’ s length, but when it is three times arm’s length, you are invading someone else’s personal space."
    The personal space of other visitors is just one problem. The artwork is another. "We do not want to have to put all the art under glass," said Deborah Ziska, the chief of public information at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, which has been quietly enforcing a ban on selfie sticks but is in the process of adding it formally to its printed guidelines for visitors.
    Last but not least is the threat to the camera operator, intent on capturing the perfect shot and oblivious to the surroundings. "If people are not paying attention in the Temple of Dendur, they can end up in the water with the crocodile sculpture," Mr. Sreenivasan said. "We have so many balconies you could fall from, and stairs you can trip on."
Selfie sticks have been baned in case of all the following problems EXCEPT
选项 A、invasion of personal space.
B、damage to the artwork.
C、waste of printed guidelines.
D、danger to camera users.
答案C
解析 根据题干关键词定位到第四、五段。第四段“其他游客的私人空间只是其中一个问题，艺术品则是另一个问题”承上启下，涵盖了使用自拍杆带来的两个问题，A项和B项分别进行了概括。第五段首句是该段的中心句，指出带来的问题还有“自拍杆对使用者同样有威胁”，D项也是问题之一。C项“浪费纸质游客指南”文章没有提到，为正确答案。
