问题     It is reported that bags are getting bigger and bigger all the time, and that there are more bags today than at any other time in history. If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of electronic gadgets, a reading-material explosion, a popular interest in tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bag-making labor overseas.
    But, city life has set impediments(障碍) to bags. To enter many public buildings, theaters, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go without a bag. The city has countless bag rules.
    Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game. Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule. You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library. If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check.
    What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people’s taking things out, rather than their bringing things in. A librarian said on the second day, "It’s a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats. The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so. The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to. "
What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?

选项 A、To change people’s way of reading.
B、To help people better use the library.
C、To prevent people stealing from the library.
D、To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.

答案C

解析 根据最后一段第一句“What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people’s taking things out, rather than their bringing things in. ”可知,图书馆新规的目的是防止人们把东西带出去,即从图书馆偷东西。故选C。
