(11).Coffee in the Workplace
It doesn't matter whether you drink coffee or not. In the workplace, coffee is the new lunch. Coffee doesn't mean a drink. It means a short meeting outside of office. It could be social, it could be networking, and it could be all about business; but it means "not too long". Or, it could mean "I don't like you enough in that way" to have lunch.
Not long ago, dinner was too much time and energy to risk spending with someone you didn't know well. All the dating sites proved that dinner was just too much. Now, it's lunch's turn. The alternative（替代品）？Coffee.
When people invite you to a "coffee", it means they will spend some time with you and they will probably help you-but not that much . However, the benefits to the new culture of coffee are many. There is often nowhere to sit in coffee places, so meetings tend to be short. Coffee does not make you fat，if you don＇t order a 1000 calorie（卡路里）coffee drink every time. Coffee is cheap, relatively speaking, so there is no worry over the check.
In our drive for getting more work done in a short time, lunch is being replaced with coffee. Lunch is now arranged for true friends and making deals. In some places, a nice business lunch has become a luxury（奢侈）. And there are lots of business lunches where everyone is on his or her phone anyway. That can be done over a coffee.
Going for a coffee is here to stay. So the next time someone asks you to have a coffee-GO. It's not that much of a concern for either side . And, although it's time-saving. "coffee" could be the first step to something much bigger.

A.makes people relaxed正确答案B

(16).City Life in the Early 1900s
① In the 1890s,electrie streetcars had replaced horse-drawn vehicles, and they ran above or below ground to avoid the crowded streets. After Henry Ford introduced his Model T car in 1908,people soon had to avoid getting hit by various kinds of vehicles.
② Many city people lived in apartment buildings then. Their buildings were four to six stories（层）high，with four apartments on each floor，and held two or three families in each apartment. And people just threw their garbage in the street. But laws were passed to stop it later on.
③ At that time， the newest invention in construction was the skyscraper（摩天大楼）. Advances in technology allowed people to build the Woolworth Building in 1913. It was the world's tallest building then.
④ On the streets，one might pass all sorts of newcomers（新来的人）to the city. Actually. more people lived in urban areas than rural ones for the first time in American history. Millions of immigrants poured into the cities, trying to get jobs and make a better life. The political leaders helped them out with jobs and food when they could.
The labor shortage after 1914 also brought millions of blacks to the cities. There they faced a lot of discrimination. They lived in neglected and overcrowded sections like Harlem in New York City. The white middle-class used to live in those places before they moved to the suburbs. The blacks still did not have much political power, but it was beginning to grow.
