(单选题)

What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph One?

A.A polite way of asking ages

B.A brief introduction of zodiac signs

C.The influence of China in the world

D.The belief of foreigners

参考答案：B

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Have you ever been asked by your Chinese friends,‘What is your zodiac sign?’”可知，首先通过以询问年龄的方式引入生肖话题，接着第三句“By showing your zodiac sign, you are also being evaluated.”以及第一段最后一句“However, as a quarter of the world population is influenced by it, you’d be wise to do something about that.”可知，第一段询问年龄只是体现了生肖的一个功能，而后又回到生肖的主题。所以A、C选项太片面，D选项不符合段意。故选B。
