问题     When word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring — "Hockey(冰球) Literature and the Canadian Psyche(精神)" — the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China.   “They think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. They’re right," says Beardsley.
   Students in Beardsley’s class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading Iist included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gaston and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.
   In Beardsley’s words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. "I think that along with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱). So we invent the game and — whammo! — you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we don’t allow ourselves elsewhere," says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form of saying. "Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. "   “I’m talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is the course."
What is the main purpose of the text?
选项 A、To teach how to play hockey.
B、To introduce an English teacher.
C、To introduce a book by Beardsley.
D、To talk about hockey and the Canadians.
答案B
解析 主旨题。通读全文可知，短文说明的都是Beardsley这个人物，介绍了他开设的一门关于冰球的课程情况，以及他对于冰球与加拿大人性格的理解。由此可知，短文主旨就是向读者介绍这位教师，故答案是[B]。其余三项中，[A]指“教人如何打冰球”，[C]指“介绍Beardsley写的一本书”，这两项在文中根本没有提及；而[D]指“讨论冰球和加拿大人”，则只属于短文部分内容，无法概括全文主旨。
