Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carried with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It included a variety of "fun facts" a-bout the mall, such as:140,000 hot dogs are sold each week, there are 10,000 full-time jobs, 44drawn weekly from 8Minneapolis Stadium(体育馆) had been. It was only a five-minute drive from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. With 4. 2 million square feet of floor space — twenty-two times the size of the average American shopping center — the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation(娱乐)center under one roof in the United States.
I knew already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, $625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200,000 Japanese tourists. Sales were expected to be at $650 million for 1993 and at $1 billion for 1996. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger had visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2. 3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as much steel as the Eiffel Tower. It was also home to the nation’s largest indoor park, called Knott’s Camp Snoopy.
What’s the point of mentioning popular stars who had been to the ma11?
选项
A、To show its power of attraction.
B、To show that few rich people like to shop there.
C、To tell the public about a new movie being made about it.
D、To tell people that they have chances of meeting famous stars there.
答案
A
解析
推理题。一般人认为名人所喜欢的一定是有档次的东西,大家会效仿,这就是“名人效应”。The Mall of America为了吸引更多的顾客,也会在这方面大做文章。
