问题     We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistani plane would fly him over the mountains to China.
    Kissinger’s trip was given the code (密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.
    Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word—Eureka—which he would use if his mission were successful.
    On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived.
    "What’s the message?" I asked.
    "Eureka," he replied.
The reporters in Islamabad believed that______.
选项 A、Kissinger was not feeling well
B、Kissinger had just come back from Vietnam
C、Kissinger had put off leaving for China
D、Kissinger was preparing to entertain them
答案A
解析 文中第二段第三句、第四句说：“他的小病在伊斯兰堡只引起了对他进行报道的记者的轻微关注。他们接受了他至少要卧床休息两天的故事后开始为他们自己的娱乐作安排。”因此我们得知，在伊斯兰堡的记者相信了基辛格感觉不舒服。
