Question

Dave Bruno works as an online marketing manager. Several years ago, one weekend Bruno and his family did a major house cleanup and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store. “After all were done, I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff”, says Bruno, “It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100Thing Challenge”.
With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism（消費(fèi)主義）, Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items. He cut down his possessions to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes. He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate, familyshared and household items did not count as personal items. He also grouped together some basic things such as underwear and socks. Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book, The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul.
Since completing the experiment, Bruno has continued to live by the motto: reduce, refuse, and rearrange and maintains just 110 personal things. “ Nearly three years of living with a minimal amount of personal possessions, I’m no longer in the habit of consuming for the sake of consumption (消費(fèi)),” he wrote in his blog last week, “That has freed me up for all sorts of better endeavors (活動(dòng)) than shopping—like spending time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.”
Bruno’s project has also inspired others to live minimally, many of whom post their own 100 Thing Challenge updates on YouTube. “The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisinglyeasy”, says Bruno, “I’m  not saying there were no challenges or disappointments. I miss some things, but not that much. Frankly, it’s far easier to live with less stuff than with excessive trash.”

解析試題分析：本文介紹了一種新型的簡(jiǎn)單生活“The 100Thing Challenge”，并詳細(xì)介紹了其中的具體的信息。
【小題1】D 推理題。根據(jù)第一段后4航過“After all were done, I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff”, says Bruno, “It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100Thing Challenge”可知他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的東西仍然很多，所以決定過一種更為簡(jiǎn)單的生活，也就是生活的用品更少的生活。故D正確。
【小題2】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段3,4行He cut down his possessions to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes.可知ABD都屬于他不使用的東西，C項(xiàng)廚具是他仍然需要使用的物品。故C正確。
【小題3】A 主旨大意題。本文主要講述的是Dave Bruno所要過的“The 100 Thing Challenge”簡(jiǎn)單的生活，以及這一行動(dòng)的具體信息的介紹。故A正確。
