【答案解析】[听力原文]
   W: So Mr. Brown, this is your bed, and as you can see there are three other beds in the ward. Have you got everything you need?
   M: Yes, nurse. I think so. I followed the hospital's advice and I've only brought a few belongings with me.
   W: Good—you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that: the cupboard is really very small.
   M: Yes. Nurse. Can you tell me what the visiting hours are?
   W: Yes, of course. They're in the afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and in the evening from 7 to 8, but remember that only two people can see you at the same time.
   M: I see. What other rules are there?
   W: Yes, we start pretty early. We wake you at 6 o'clock, and breakfast is at 8 o'clock, lunch is at noon, there's tea at 3:30 and supper is at 6 o'clock.
   M: Oh, that's very different from what I've been used to. You'd better tell me the rest of the rules here.
   W: Yes. Well, you can see the No Smoking sign—we don't allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. However, if you do need to smoke there are special lounges.
   M: Oh, I don't smoke, so it doesn't affect me.
   W: Good.
   Why did Mr. Brown bring with him only a few things?
听到Mr. Brown说到I have only brought a few belongings with me之后,护士直接解释了医院为什么建议病人少带东西,即the cupboard is really very small,与选项A相符,故选A。对说明原因的句子要特别留意,这往往是考点。
