阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Believe it or not, there are many strange things banned around the world.

Black cars ----Turkmenistan

Trying to buy a new car in the central Asian country of Turkmenistan can be a tricky business due to numerous restrictions issued by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. Batir Turken,who is from Turkmenistan but lives in Dubal, explained,“For the country with 60℃in summer, it is really strange and stupid -- cars with black colors are banned, and dirty cars are not allowed to drive in the city.”

He added,“Cars which are older than five years are banned, cars with a right-hand drive are banned, sports cars and two-door cars are banned, and cars with tinted(有色的) windows are banned.”

Vacuum cleaners(真空吸尘器)Victoria ---- Australia

No one likes a noisy neighbor, but the state of Victoria in Australia has introduced a set of rules about at what point during the day you can make noise including when you can vacuum.

Sumit Gupta, Mumbai, India, said,“In Melbourne, Australia, vacuuming your house between 10 pm and 7am during weekdays and 10 pm and 9 am during the weekends is against the law.”

Chewing gum----Singapore

Singapore prohibits the sale and import of chewing gum,which makes it impossible for locals to get their hands on gum. However, exceptions are made for people who have medical conditions and need to chew gum. The ban began in 1992 and is still in effect.

Running out of fuel ----Germany

People are not allowed to let their cars run out of fuel if they are driving on the autobahn(高速公路)in Germany. What complicates matters is that a person can’ t walk along the highway to get some gas if necessary, as walking on the autobahn is also prohibited by law.

Changing bulb ----Victoria, Australia
