单选题
The word "sloths" in the first paragraph probably means ______.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】语义理解题。由题干定位至首段。通过分析可知,首句中的news是指第二句中提到的too much exercise is bad for you and that doing less could lengthen your life。第二段提到新书:The Joy of Laziness: How to Slow Down and Live Longer,可见这对于那些疏于锻炼者是个好消息,[B]符合文意,故为答案。既然是waiting for,应该是指人,排除[C]。
