問題詳情:
Do successful businessmen need an office? Increasingly the answer seems to be no.
Chris Ward, author of the book Out of Office explains how President Barack Obama’s first inauguration (就職) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks (星巴克); how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton Smith invented the children’s virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caffè Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a café is the best place to write.
It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces such as cafés than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery(痛苦) of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job.
Thanks to mobile communications, WiFi and cloud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is becoming redundant for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to special locations. But many of us – from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers – can operate almost anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make one’s career more enjoyable and, sometimes, more efficient.

A. Obama didn’t write his inauguration speech by himself
B. People don’t have to work in an office
C. A café is the best place to write
D. Many writers like to write in a coffee shop
30. The underlined word “redundant” in the last paragraph most probably mean_________.
A. uncomfortable onable C. unnecessary D. popular
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Many people hate commuting daily.
B. The tradition office will no longer exist.
C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency.
