Question 17 is based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage One

听力原文

    Do you have too much stuff? Are you, dare we say it, untidy? (16) [Say hello to a TV show called “Tidying up with Marie Kondo”, a home improvement show based on her widely popular book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.] 

    In the show, Marie Kondo acts as a tiny garbage fairy for messy people, visiting their houses to share the wisdom of the “KonMarie” method. This method is simple in theory, but can be endlessly complex in practice. (17) [You divide all the stuff in your house—all of it—into several categories, and then examine each item—all of them—to see if it sparks joy. If it does, you keep it.] If it doesn’t, you thank it and neatly discard it. So, is the TV show inspiring people to tidy up? First-hand accounts seem to indicate a small wave of people bringing piles of donation bags to used-good stores.

    One store receive thousands of bags of used possessions in one day. January is usually the store’s slow season for donations because it’s cold and people don’t want to bother. But not this January. People seem determined to clean up their homes. (18) [One used-book store received a month’s worth of books and donations in a week, when a man gave over 50 boxes of books from his home.] It seems Marie’s TV show is having a big impact after all.

17. What things can be kept in one’s home according to Marie Kondo?

解析：C。录音中间说到，你需要把家里所有的物品都分成几类，然后检查每一件物品，看看它是否能给你带来快乐。如果能，就把它留下。如果不能，就带着感激之情，干脆地把它扔掉。C项Things that make one happy对应录音中的it sparks joy和If it does，故C项正确。

错项排除：其他三项的关键词little space、rare和cost a lot of money在录音中没有提及，故均可排除。
