第14练阅读理解完形填空语法填空.阅读理解Whats the allure (魅力)of coffee shops？Its been said that JK.Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books sitting in the elephant house in Edinburgh.Many people spend hours in these places nursing a coffee as they work away on their laptops.But if youre spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and havent sold your first novel yet，the costs can really add up.For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out，theres a new alternative in London：a payperminute caf.You can linger for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop.Youll be given a clock when you come in to keep time.When you leave，you return the item and pay the bill.The cost of hanging out，eating，working and meeting new people in the place is 3p per minuteor 1.80 an hour.The shops owner，Ivan Meetin，says，“Everything is free，except the time you spend there.”Customers help themselves to coffee and cookies.They can also bring their own food to eat on the premises while accessing the Internet through WiFi.Meetins customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with a paper cup to drink from at their desks.They are there for the ambience.The new coffee shops atmosphere is relaxed and a bit bohemian(不拘于传统的)Informality is at the heart of Meetins concept.Hes always loved the idea of building his own house.“With my mates，we were building tree houses where rules of society didnt exist，” he says.Meetin believes his coffee shop is a bit like “social media”，but with a face.Likeminded people go there to socialize.Some feel so much at home that they wash the dishes.The concept of coffee shops，where you pay for the time and not for the cup，has proved popular in Russia.Ziferblat is part of a Russian chain.Only time will tell if the British will warm to the idea.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，主要介绍了伦敦的一个按时间计费的咖啡屋。1The main purpose of mentioning JK.Rowling is _Ato introduce the topicBto give a summaryCto arouse readers interestDto introduce her book series答案A推理判断题。文章第一段提到J.K.Rowling的目的是引出所谈话题咖啡屋，下文均是围绕这个话题展开的，故选A。2What does the underlined word “linger” in the fourth paragraph mean?ALive.
