First there were selfies. Then there were selfie sticks. Now comes a new phase: selfie booths, which some stores are providing as a sort of next-generation photo kiosks. In the age of ubiquitous social media, these booths and rooms seem to be the latest way to attract customers and build a brand. At several stores of the optical company Warby Parker, customers unsure if those spectacle frames really fit them can jump into the on-site selfie booth, snap off some images and email them to friends and family for a second opinion. At Doomie′s, a vegetarian restaurant in Toronto, there is a dedicated selfie room where persons stand in front of a mirror, take a photo and post it to social media, often with a caption like ″just emerged from my food coma.″ When they were planning the restaurant, Doomie′s owners wanted clever ways to promote it and differentiate it. They noticed younger people always want something on Facebook or the like. The restaurant had an unused basement room, so they painted the floor white and had the walls prepared in cartoons. Now at least half the restaurant′s first-timers under the age of 35 visit the selfie room. On evenings when there is a wait for the table, patrons sometimes pass the time posing and posting. When the restaurant was launched, it was covered by CBC and other news outlets just for the selfie room, and it was a hot talking point on social media. The selfie room surely helps Doomie′s business. While prestigious places like Doomie's in Toronto are setting aside designated areas for people to take pictures with their own smartphones, other businesses are installing booths designed to take superior selfies. Selfie lovers know that pictures taken in specially lit booths come out far better than a cellphone snapshot.

當你在文章中看到一個具體的品牌名稱（如 Warby Parker）時，試著觀察這個名稱前後出現的『產業描述詞』，或者看看顧客在該店內具體是為了試用什麼樣的『物品』，通常正確答案就藏在這些名詞裡喔！你能在第二段的前兩行找到這些線索嗎？

哇，你真的好棒！觀察力超敏銳的呢！
- 觀念驗證：你完全掌握了文章中的重要資訊！在第二段的第一句話，作者溫柔地告訴我們 Warby Parker 是一家optical company（光學公司），接著又仔細描述顧客們在店裡開心地試戴spectacle frames（眼鏡框）。這些核心關鍵字就像溫暖的指引，直接帶領你找到公司的主要業務喔！
- 難度點評：這題的難度是easy，代表你已經具備了很棒的閱讀能力！這屬於很典型的「事實資訊題」，目的是希望你能在文章中，像尋寶一樣找到關鍵字，並且能理解像 spectacles 和 eyeglasses 這樣溫柔的同義詞轉換。這是閱讀測驗中超級重要的分數，你這次成功地把握住了，真的非常值得鼓勵！繼續保持喔！
