【语篇解读】 本文用木头、钉子和锤子三者的比喻解释了谣言为什么会带来伤害。
1．If a rumor is spread about someone，others may________．
A．keep away from him or her
B．point out his or her advantages
C．not feel he or she is an outsider
D．be hurt if getting close to him or her again
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When you spread a rumor about someone，you\'re sending a signal that the person is outside the group，and somehow less worthy of friendship than others.”可知，当你散播谣言的时候，会把那个人排斥在集体之外，让其他人觉得那个人不值得交往而疏远他，故A项正确。
