问题    Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent. They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
   The touch-screen devices are on show at the Food Marketing Institute’s exhibition here this week. "These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker, " said Michael Alexandor, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc. , which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
   Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM’s " shopping buddy, " has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts. Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thought that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.
   People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system that will organize the trip around the store. If you’re looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
   The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When you’re finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay. Of course, the new computerized shopping assistants don’t come cheap.
According to Michael Alexandor, shopping carts can______.
选项 A、decrease value
B、show you around the store faster
C、tell you how many calories are in your cart
D、know what you like and help you get them
答案B
解析 由题干中的Michael Alexandor定位于文章第二段。由These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker不难发现，对应的正是选项B中的show you around the store faster，故选B。而选项A所含内容与此句意思相反，选项C可定位于文章第三段第三句，与文意相反，选项D所含内容在原文中没有提及。
