问题     There has been a boom in "karaoke" in Japan. Many people, no matter what their age or gender, go there often to enjoy singing out loud, to seek relief from daily stress or just for fun. The "kara" of kara-oke means "empty", while the "oke" is a Japanese abbreviation of the English word, "orchestra. " These two words coming together mean an orchestra without a singer. Karaoke systems are widespread in many countries nowadays.  "Karaoke bars" are well known by Americans, but actually we have few karaoke bars in Japan. What we call "karaoke box" is more popular in Japan.
    To relish karaoke is not difficult at all. All you have to do is to find some friends to go with you. After you have settled into the room and gotten something to eat or drink, you are already to sing. You look up one of the songbooks and choose a song you wish to sing in two different ways: either by the singer’s name or title of the song. Then enter the code numbers of the song into the remote control. Soon your music will start.  Some karaoke sets even have a voice change system. You can change your voice from a woman’s to a man’s, or a man’s to a woman’s. This is very interesting. But the important thing here is you should listen to other people singing at the same time. Usually people like to have audiences, and you want them to listen to you while you are singing, too. You can feel like a real singer if you have someone to listen to you, and that’s what people like when doing karaoke.
    Since you will have your own room and there will be no unfamiliar people watching you, you will feel more comfortable singing in a karaoke box than singing in front of many people, like in karaoke bars. You can spend the time in a more relaxed atmosphere, which is more enjoyable.
    Once you have experienced karaoke, you might want to go again and again, though some people would not like singing in front of people even if they were friends or family. But you can still have a lot of fun there, even if you don’t sing. We make jokes and we talk as if we were at home. I personally like karaoke very much. I like singing and I have so much fun every time I go. I think we are seeking a way to express ourselves to people whom we like.
How would you describe the writer’s attitude toward Karaoke?
选项 A、She often goes, and likes it sometimes and sometimes not.
B、She thinks it is not only fun, but stress relieving as well.
C、She has not tried it herself so has no attitude about it.
D、She feels it is a waste of tim
答案B
解析 作者在第一段中就表明唱卡拉OK可以放松一天的紧张情绪。其他段落也多次提到唱卡拉OK是多么有趣，所以作者才会经常出入卡拉OK厅。作者自始至终都在说明卡拉OK是很有意思的一种活动，并说她每一次去都会获得乐趣。所以，作者认为唱卡拉OK是浪费时间(选项D)，或说作者根本没参加过这种活动(选项C)，或说她有时喜欢有时不喜欢卡拉OK(选项A)都是不正确的选项。选项B是正确的。
