We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck，or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff．Your whole body feels tight．The slightest move makes you jump with pain．Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck．

　　That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling．We have all met such people．

　　One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands – often at the wrong time – during a performance in the theater．He keeps you from hearing the actors．

　　Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins．They come hurrying down to your row of seats．You are comfortably settled down，with your hat and heavy coat in your lap．You must stand up to let them pass．You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats… Well，what now… Good God，one of them is up again．He forgot to go to the men’s room，and once more you have to stand up，hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass．Now，that is “a pain in the neck．”

　　Another，well – known to us all，is the person sitting behind you in the movies．His mouth is full of popcorn；he is chewing loudly，or talking between bites to friends next to him．None of them remain still．Up and down，back and forth，they go – for another bag of popcorn，or something to drink．

　　Then，there is the man sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar．He wants you to enjoy it too，and blows smoke across your food into your mouth．

　　We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you，just as close as you will let him．You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you．He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it．

　　We also call such a person a “rubber neck，” always stretching his neck to where it does not belong，like neighbors who watch all your visitors．The enjoy invading your privacy．People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks．They hate being spied upon．

阅读下面短文，从题后所给的A、B、C、D四个答案中选出最佳选项。

　　There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art．Washington, D．C．has the National Gallery of Art(美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum．Florida International University(FIU)in Miami also shows art for people to see．And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings．

　　FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States．You don’t have to visit the University to see the art．You just need a computer linked to a telephone．You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it．All of the art is stored in the school computer．It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers．In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings．

　　Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum．He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works．

　　A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers．He can also put his pictures on paper．But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer．

　　Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities．Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students．Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it．He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience．And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum．
