【题干】【阅读选择题】Coffee in the Workplace
lt doesn't matter whether you drink coffee or not. In the workplace,coffee is the newlunch.Coffee doesn't mean a drink. It means a short meeting outside of office. It could besocial, 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 youdidn't know well. All the dating sites proved that dinner was just too much. Now, it's lunch'sturn. The alternative (替代品)? Coffee.
When people invite you to a "coffee", it means they will spend some time with you andthey will probably help you—-but not that much. However, the benefits to the new culture ofcoffee 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 everytime.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 withcoffee. Lunch is now arranged for true friends and making deals. In some places,a nicebusiness lunch has become a luxury (奢侈).And there are lots of business lunches whereeveryone 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 acoffee—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.
