A New Coffee House on Campus
WELCOME STUDENTS! Looking for great coffee and a quiet place to study? Then come to Java Joe's Coffee House. We're located on the ground floor of the Math Building. We offer a great selection of sandwiches and a full range of coffee drinks. Plus, absolutely free, you can plug in and recharge your laptops! So come one, come all! Java Joe's is open M-F from 7:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m., and Sat-Sun 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m..
We're as quiet as the library with better food!
Now hear a conversation between two students.
Question: The woman expresses her opinion toward the notice. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
【正确答案】The university opens a coffee shop in the math building. And the woman thinks this is good news because of the following reasons.
The first is that the dining hall is too far away for many students. The coffee shop here saves them time they would otherwise waste walking back and forth across campus.
The other reason is that the shop lets students recharge computers for free. The old classroom buildings lack such facilities: more and more students bring notebook computers to class. The coffee shop thus offers a highly needed service. In short, the coffee shop allows students to eat, study, visit, and recharge batteries all in one convenient location.
【答案解析】 通过阅读短文,我们知道数学楼新开了一家咖啡店。
