问题 What are the speakers talking about?
  
M: I have a question. I’m never quite sure where to sit during a business meeting.
W: The ancient Chinese art " Feng Shui" teaches that you should never sit with the door behind you—and actually there’s a scientific reason for that. When a person’s back is placed towards an open space he becomes stressed: his blood pressure increases and his heart beats faster.
M: That makes sense! People subconsciously worry about getting attacked if they don’t know what’s going on behind them.
W: Many famous people discovered important things when they were just sitting silently by themselves... you know the story about Isaac Newton, right?
M: Yes, He came up with the theory of gravity while sitting in a field and seeing an apple fall from a tree.
W: He probably wouldn’t have had time to think about gravity if he was talking on his cell phone. Anyway, I really hope they don’t allow cell phones on planes. We need a few last places without cell phones’.

选项 A、To show the importance of scientific discoveries.
B、To explain how a falling apple inspired him.
C、To show a positive effect of not using cell phones.
D、To explain the impact of the theory of gravity.

答案C

解析 录音开头提到牛顿的故事,说他只需静静地坐在树下就能发现万有引力定律。最后通过女士的话“He probably wouldn’t have had time to think about gravity if he was talking onhis cell phone(如果牛顿当时在打电话的话,可能根本就不会有时间去思考引力。)”可知,提到牛顿的故事是为了表明没有电话的好处。因此选C项。
