问题     There was once a man who spent all his time in his glasshouse. Flowers was his name, and flowers were his main joy in life. He grew flowers of every color under the sun. He grew these flowers in order to enter them for competition. His greatest hope in life was to grow a rose of an entirely new color that would win him the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.
    Mr. Flowers’ glasshouse was close to a public path, which was always used by children walking to and from school. Boys were often attracted to throw a stone or two at his glasshouse. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glasshouse at the beginning and end of the school day.
    However, it was not convenient or possible to be on guard all the time. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to prevent harm to his glass; but nothing that he had done had been successful.
    Then, just as he was giving up hope of ever winning the battle, and of growing the Rose of the Year, he had a truly wonderful idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some metres away from the glasshouse, where it could be’ clearly seen from the path. He had painted on the board the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble. The boys were much more attracted to throw stones at the notice than at the glasshouse.
He put up a large notice made of good strong wood in order ______.

选项 A、to tell the children not to throw stones at the notice
B、to warn the boys not to throw stones
C、to attract the boys to throw stones at the notice
D、to warn them whoever threw stones would be punished

答案C

解析 此题属对细节信息考查和逻辑推理题。其中关键词put up a notice...把读者引到第4段,并从中得知自从立了这块牌子,孩子们便不去砸花房了。通过第二题我们已知道孩子是淘气的。而自从有了这块牌子,孩子们便把目标对准了它,可见,上面写有“不要砸告示”的木牌是为了.吸引孩子们,故选C项。至于A项的信息,虽然和牌子上的内容一致,但是Mr.Flowers立它的目的不是为了阻止或警告孩子们。
