(答案→)C
解析：
试题分析 美国的电视是免费的，所以有很多的广告，其中一个广告在讲述一个新口味咖啡加强了夫妻之间的沟通。
【小题1】C 推断题。根据第二段They haven't spoken to each other at the breakfast table for years，主妇厌倦这种生活。丈夫根本就不关心他。故选C项。
【小题2】A。主旨大意。这是一个广告，目的是介绍新产品。故选A项。
【小题3】C 推断题。通过最后一段Now they aren't bored any more. Breakfast is different.得知广告的目的是通过新产品改善人们的生活。
【小题4】B 主旨大意。通过对美国生活现状的分析，夫妻之间关系冷漠，而一个小小广告却打破其中的冰层，突出广告的功效，更是对现状的担忧。对文章大意的把握。
