问题     It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history. If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets (装置), a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.
    But much as nature finds ways—such as disease—to control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments (障碍) to bags. To enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless. The city has countless bag rules. It is hard to keep them all straight, and you’re never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.
    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. You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them. You return them when you come back for your own bag.
    What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than 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 does the writer mainly talk about?
选项 A、The history of the bag rules.
B、The importance of using libraries.
C、Different bags used in our daily life.
D、The use of bags and the rules against it.
答案D
解析 文章第一段第一句“It is reported that bags…than at any other time in history．”说明了包的使用情况，接着第二段第三句话“The city has countless bag rules．”又说明在城市中存在数不清的用包规则，所以D项符合题意。ABC三项在文中均没有体现，故选D。
