单项选择题
[听力原文]
M: I didn’t see you in creative writing class today. What happened
W: Oh, just a dentist appointment. That’s all. Say, did we get a new assignment for next week
M: Yeah, a really interesting one, actually. We’re supposed to write a short story that has some sort of limitation or... or constraints imposed on it.
W: What do you mean Like rhyming in a poem
M: Well, that’ll be the idea. But what we write has to be prose, as prose poetry. Just to make rhyme in a poem is too easy, I guess. I think the professor really wants to challenge us, and to put our creativity to the test.
W: Well, did she give any hints about the kind of thing she’s looking for. I just finished a really strange book by some French guy. He wrote a whole book without even using a single E.
W: A whole book without a single E How’s that possible But, wait a minute, didn’t know you can read French.
M: I can’t. I read the English translation, but get this. There’s not one E in that either.
W: No way. Think of the words you couldn’t use.
M: I know, but that translator manages it. I got the book at home if you want to check out for yourself. What’s really amazing to me is that leaving E in English is going to involve a complete different group of words in French.
W: Sometime you have to show me that book. But right now I’d better get going on the writing for next week. I already have a couple of ideas thanks to you. And I think I just might be able to work it into something interesting.

B. To write without using it is difficult both in English and in French.
C. Every word in the French author’s book contains it.
