阅读理解。 Have you heard about the woman who put her wet dog in the microwave (微波炉) to dry it, and ended up cooking her dog by mistake? Or did you hear about the man who died at his desk at work, and nobody in the office noticed he was dead for five days? These stories have two things in common. They both are not true, and they both are legends (传闻). Usually, legends are stories of s from long ago. legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for legends to spread very quickly. A good example of an legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi's sold special jeans that shrank (缩水) when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, this legend came from a Levi's advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size. However, some stories that sound like legends really come from real s. For example, there is a story about muggers (抢劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers hold a snake in a person's face and then take the person's money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for (密切注意) strangers carrying snakes. 1. What's the main idea of the passage? [     ] A.
