十元咖啡里的十分真诚,南京阿姨“手冲咖啡”走红
十元咖啡里的十分真诚,南京阿姨“手冲咖啡”走红


Auntie Han, a coffee seller, recently became popular online for her “10-yuan handmade coffee.” In the video, Han pours three sticks of Nestle instant coffee into a plastic cup, brews it with boiling water, and then shakes it well. Despite the simplicity, the video received over 1 million likes within hours.

Many customers come over to taste the coffee from this roadside shop, with some even taking the high-speed railway to check out the place. The shop’s sales have suddenly increased to 300 to 400 cups a day, causing the owner to run out of boiling water on occasion.

Han, the shop owner, is 74 years old. She has been running this shop for more than three decades. Her business is focused on selling sugarcane juice, with sales of about 500 kilograms a day. She started to sell coffee around 20 years ago and at the time the price for coffee was 6 yuan a cup and she used two packages of Nestle instant coffee. Two years ago, Han got complaints from her customers, saying the coffee was not strong enough, so she changed her “recipe” to three bags of instant coffee per cup and the price was raised to 10 yuan a cup.

Following her overnight fame, Auntie Han attracted more customers. But she remains calm by her sudden online popularity, focusing on making a living through hard work. Some online users were puzzled by Han’s popularity. Others were touched by her sincerity, commenting, “At least she is genuine” and “What we bought was emotional value.”

While her sudden popularity may have gained her the attention, the spotlight on Han’s shop has also brought her some challenges, such as an increased workload and mean online comments. Han now barely has the time to eat her lunch and the Internet users are coming to her defense, urging (敦促) Internet trolls to refrain from hurting Auntie Han in any way.

1.What does the second paragraph want to show?

A What netizens are drawn to is Han’s sincerity.

B Han lived a hard life before selling coffee.

C Han serves customers with the best she has.

D Han’s shop is gaining attention.

解析:选D。D段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知,南京阿姨的10元咖啡走红后,现在一天能卖300到400杯,甚至还有网友坐高铁专程去购买她的10元咖啡。由此可知,这家店正受到关注。故选D。

2.Han added an extra package of instant coffee in order to __________.

A make the coffee stronger

B refresh the customers

C attract more customers

D reduce customer complaints

解析:选A。A细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Two years ago, Han got complaints from her customers, saying the coffee was not strong enough, so she changed her “recipe” to three bags of instant coffee per cup and the price was raised to 10 yuan a cup.”可知,店里咖啡最早的时候6元一杯,那时候是用两袋雀巢速溶咖啡粉,前两年有顾客嫌两袋冲一杯太淡了,于是她就改成了三袋咖啡粉冲一杯卖10元,因此增加一袋是为了让咖啡味道更浓。故选A。

3.How are the reactions online to Han’s popularity?

A Supportive.

B Mixed.

C Doubtful.

D Disappointed.

解析:选B。B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Some online users were puzzled by Han’s popularity. Others were touched by her sincerity...”可知,对于韩阿姨的爆火,一些网友感到困惑,而另一些网友则被她的真诚所打动。即网友对此的反应是好坏参半,即混杂的。故选B。

4.What does the underlined word “refrain” mean?

A Continue.

B Impact.

C Conquer.

D Stop.

解析:选D。D词义猜测题。根据划线部分前面的“mean online comments”和“the Internet users are coming to her defense”可知,网络上的关注是一把双刃剑,虽然韩阿姨的突然走红可能让她获得了关注,但也给她带来了一些挑战,比如工作量增加和一些网友刻薄的评论语言。因此网友们纷纷为她辩护,敦促网络“喷子”们停止以任何方式伤害韩阿姨。故选D。
