(单选题)

The expression “the devil finds work for idle hands” probably means that people are more likely to ______.

A.do what they should not do if they meet devils

B.achieve nothing if they work with devils

C.do more work if they didn’t work hard when they were young

D.get involved in trouble if they have nothing to do with their time

参考答案：D

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Belton pointed out that young people who don’t have the interior resources to deal with boredom creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters or taking cars out for a joyride”可知，贝尔顿指出，如果年轻人没有足够的内部资源来创造性地处理无聊问题，他们最终可能会撞毁公交车候车亭，或者开车出去兜风。由此可知，the devil finds work for idle hands意为“如果人们不能很好地处理闲暇时间，他们就更有可能陷入麻烦”。故选D。
