问题    What are some of steps a person can take to prevent his house from being broken into while he is away? One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only halfway. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险). Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turn on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and set to a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overfilled mailboxes.
Why did the writer begin this passage with a question?
选项 A、Because he wanted to catch the reader’s attention.
B、Because he wanted to have the readers guess the answer before reading.
C、Because he wanted to sum up (概括) the topic of the passage.
D、Because he wanted to make the reader understand him better.
答案A
解析 一般来说，以一个问题作为文章的开头主要是设置一个悬念，吸引读者继续往下看。当然，本文开头的问题也概括了文章的主题，但一个陈述句也可以达到这个目的。所以总的来看，这个问题的作用是为了吸引读者的注意力。故选项A是正确答案。
