1 . Gradually, the need for green space became a habit that changed my life. When I was staying with friends, I’d hunt out parks. Within a couple of months, I’d signed up as a volunteer at a local community garden and would get there early on Sunday mornings, as if it were my own kind of church.

Annoyed by the level of distraction (干扰) in his open office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street — so I can focus. ” His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
| A．It helps him concentrate. |
| B．It blocks out background noise. |
| C．It has a pleasant atmosphere. |
| D．It encourages facetoface interactions. |
