问题     Walking down any of Shanghai’s main shopping streets this week, newcomers might think the locals have been celebrating Christmas for centuries. Christmas may not be a customary holiday in China, but businessmen in Shanghai know it will bring something more valuable than tradition; people are willing to spend money. Most Chinese may feel little connection with the Christmas celebration , but with most shops offering discounts (折扣) , the message couldn’t be clearer—it is the season to part with one’s hard-earned cash.
    Much of that marketing drive is directed towards thousands of foreigners and foreign companies that call Shanghai home. But for Shanghai’ s 13 million locals, regardless of personal interest, there seems no avoiding the season’ s commercial (商业的) greetings. Along some major roads, nearly every shop window displays some symbols to the holiday: a man-made fir tree (杉树) with lights, or a snowman.
    With an increasing number of Westerners arriving in the city for work, young Shanghainese, eager to keep pace with the latest Western fashions, have begun to show their interest in Christmas. But some people still don’t think Christmas is an important festival in China. At least it is less important than the New Year and China’s Spring Festival.
Which of the following statements is true?

选项 A、Christmas is the season for common people to earn money.
B、Most Chinese people think they have something to do with Christmas.
C、Christmas is the season people will hold their hard-earned money tightly.
D、Few Chinese people feel they are connected with the Christmas celebration.

答案D

解析 事实细节题。根据第一段第三句可知,很多中国人都感觉圣诞节和他们有很小的关联(little connection),故选D。
