问题     Photographer Teresa Berg replaces a Rottweiler’s collar with a pink scarf. She picks a string of pearls to complement a dachshund’s coat. She is taking glamour shots of shelter dogs, hoping her spiffed-up subjects will be adopted more quickly. "Most photos show dogs in cages, looking dirty and mangy," says Berg. "I consider my work like an antismoking campaign. We have to make adopting cool."
    Her father wouldn’t allow the dog of her own as a kid. He did, however, show her how to use a camera. Together, they took pictures and developed them at his office.
    Living in Dallas at 24, Berg found her perfect roommate on the street: a Border Collie-Shetland sheepdog mix she named Gypsy. Berg always has a soft sport for the ones that don’ t have anyone to love.
    For years, she worked as a real estate agent, but she quit in 2006 to launch a photography business. Searching the Internet for a dog to adopt as a companion for Max, her Pomeranian, she was instantly put off by the photos online, "They had dirty laundry, dirty dishes, and empty pizza boxes in the background," she says.
    Berg finally found Flash, a 12 years old long-haired dachshund who was a Dallas rescue dog. She went to pick him up and ended up volunteering to take pictures of all the rescued dogs there for free. As more dogs went to the program, she took their pictures too. In the following year, after the photos went up on the website of the Dallas-Fort Worth Dachshund Rescue, the group’s director noticed that adoptions had doubled compared with last year. She attributed this to the professional photos. "When dogs are adopted that quickly, it makes room for others off the streets, "Berg says.
    Over the years, Berg has developed some tricks to snap flattering pictures: position dogs so that light falls on their faces, and shoot at eye level. In 2011, hoping to inspire more photographers, Berg posted video seminars on focusonrescue.com. About 75 people per month now watch the offer tips for taking quality pet photos. She’ s gratified to see the recent wave of well-shot dog photography on shelter websites and social-media sites.
    In the past couple of years, Berg has added two dogs to the Dallas home she shares with Flash and her husband: a dachshund named Jasper and a Pomeranian named Maggie. "I want to take all the shelter dogs home; that’ s the hard part," Berg says. "I have a particular affinity for dogs with gray muzzles."
Why did Berg, the photographer, put scarf and pearls on shelter dogs?
选项 A、Because she enjoyed taking fancy pictures of dogs.
B、Because she was a faithful antismoking campaigner.
C、Because she wanted to make their adoption quick and enjoyable.
D、Because she felt relieved to make them look attractive and stylish.
答案C
解析 A项为混淆选项，文中没有明确指出Berg喜欢给狗拍新奇的照片。文中没有提到Berg是禁烟运动倡导者，第一段第五句只是说“I consider my work like an antismoking campaign”，所以排除B项。D项说Berg会因为使狗看起来有吸引力和时尚感而感到释然，该选项未在文中涉及。第一段第三句“hoping herspiffed-up subjects will be adopted more quickly”即Berg希望她把狗打扮的整洁漂亮的行为可以被实施的更快更好，与C项所表达的意思一致，故选C。
