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。

  Like to chew on pencils? It's a bad habit that you really should put a stop to.

  A British design company have launched(发布)a new product, to help children concentrate at school-pre-chewed pencils.The wooden pencils are priced at £1.50 for a pack of four.British design company Concentrate, who developed the product, say that pupils are less likely to put them in their mouths because thy have already been chewed.And they say this is a cheap but effective way of encouraging students to "get their teeth" into their lessons instead.

  The company, which says it designs products to help kids at school and make clear why they get distracted or are unable to focus in class, claim(声称)the chewed end encourages them to get thinking right away.

  “We know it's foolish but just get down to some concentrated thinking and who knows what might happen,” said company boss Mark Champkins.

  “We began to look at the reasons that children might be distracted, uncomfortable or unable to concentrate in lessons- and we set about designing some simple, cost-effective(划算的)products to work out some of the problems.”

  That way, you even don't want to put your mouth anywhere near it.At least, I don't think you'd have the stomach to, do you?
