Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carrid with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It included a variety of "fun facts" about the mall, such as; 140 000 hot dogs are sold each week, there are 10 000 full-time jobs, 44 sets of moving stairs and 17 lifts, 12 750 parking places, 13 000 tons of steel, and $ 1 million is drawn weekly from 8 ATMs. Opened in the summer of 1992, the mall was built where the former Minneapolis Stadium()体育馆had been. It was only a five-minute drive from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. With 4. 2 million square feet of floor space—twenty-two times the size of the average American shopping center—the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation (娱乐) center under one roof in the United States.
I knew already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, $625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200 000 Japanese tourists. Sales were expected to be at $650 million for 1993 and at $ 1 billion for 1996. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger had visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2. 3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as much steel as the Eiffel Tower. It was also home to the nation’s largest indoor park, called Knott’s Camp Snoopy.
Why are the pieces of information provided by Mall of America referred to as "fun facts"?
选项
A、Tey are largely imagined.
B、They are surprising figures.
C、They give exact descriptions.
D、They make people feel uneasy.
答案
B
解析
本题可以利用排除法做。由于the Mall of America是美国最大的购物和娱乐中心,让人们了解这些数据的目的是为了吸引更多的顾客,关于此购物中心的数据也是突出其大,所以才显得特别,令人惊奇。
