问题     Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon bury yourself in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment.
    This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a book shop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing (浏览). Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
    Once, a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning (招呼) to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was put away in a comer. "I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.
You may spend a long time in a bookshop because ______.

选项 A、the books are very attractive
B、you have started reading an interesting book
C、it is raining outside
D、you have to make sure you don’t buy a dull book as a present

答案A

解析 本题为细节推理题。文章开头就提到在书店的时间是令人愉快的。不论你是出于什么原因而去书店:图书爱好者,买书当礼物送人,或只是进去躲会儿雨,你都会完全忘记周围的一切而沉迷于书中。因此,可以推断出“书是非常有吸引力的”。
