单选题 As soon as Linda went into the department that sold raincoats, she sensed there was something unusual in the atmosphere.
First of all, there was a salesman there and not a saleswoman. That was very unusual in the women's coat department. The salesman asked if he could be of any help. But when she said she was just looking he did not seem to be listening. He (lid not look very much like a salesman, either.
A second later a raincoat caught her eye. Site asked him a question about it. He did not even hear her at first. She asked again. She wanted to know if he had any coats like it with a detachable (可分离的) lining. He did not seem to understand what a detachable lining was. She explained. Then she went on looking. She noticed that the salesman seemed to be watching another customer in the department all the time. The other customer, a middle-aged woman, left the department. The salesman immediately went to the phone and told somebody on the other end that the woman had gone and had definitely taken two leather belts without paying for them. Then he turned to Linda and explained that he was not a salesman at all but a store detective. Later, Linda read in the paper that a woman had been arrested for stealing some belts front a department store, or, in other words, for shoplifting.

【答案解析】[解析] 细节题。根据第一段中：But when she said she was just looking he did not seem to be listening．可知她进雨衣店只是看看，和B选项一致；A选项文章中没有提及；虽然文中提及She asked again she wanted to know if he had any coats like it with a detachable lining但这并不是她进店的原因，这样说过于绝对，因此不选C；文中虽然提到she sensed there was something unusual in the atmosphere．但这是她进店后才感觉到的，也不是她进店的原因。
