Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读与写) VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
A linguist, who studies languages, is always listening, never off-duty. I invited a group 01 friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents (地方口音), and it would take only a few minutes to record it. Afterwards, one evening, three people came to my house and were shown into my sitting-room. In front of each chair there was a microphone (麦克风) at head height, connected to a recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, rather nervously. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty, men we could relax and have a drink.
I turned on the recorder and each in turn counted from one to twenty in their best accents. When it was over, I turned the recorder off and brought round the drinks. The rest of the evening was spent in complete relaxation. I talked and joked with them freely by leaving them only for a telephone call which lasted some time.
Or at least that is how it would appear. You know, of course, the microphones were not connected to the recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the bedroom. My friends, having seen the recorder before them turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality (质量). It meant that I was able to get a piece of natural talk.
[来源学科网]I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them after the recording was over, and asked them whether it should be destroyed. None of them wanted to – but for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, I paid for them Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.

71. The writer left the room in the middle of the evening because_____.
