第一篇文章围绕business lunch商业午餐这一话题展开，段落中并没有难词、生词，还是比较容易把握的。关键点在于美国人经常利用社交场合来做生意，特别是business lunch。此外，商务午餐可以用来争取客户，扩大影响，讨论并解决内部分歧，甚至面试未来的员工。其提供了安静宜人的氛围并且非常适合私人对话。整篇文章提到了两个数字也很容易听出。
第二段提到人口稠密带来的压力问题，同时也提到一些担忧，如：birth control带来的问题，以及人类智力水平下降。社会问题是passage translation 常考的话题，我们在历年的模考中也出过类似的题目。整篇的难度一般，没有我们常考到的数字问题或是细节问题，同学们听懂的基础上，合理笔记，全篇翻译一般问题不大。
