1、Unit 1As a foreigner doing business in the United States, I feel very rushed. I am used to friendly opening exchanges when doing business. Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a se
2、nse of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with ea
3、ch other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt, there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I dont believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they j
4、ust dont care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cul
5、tural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.Unit 2Bill Johnsons path to Olympic gold was different than that of most. In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many rejected him as
6、 a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became involved in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17. There was no lifelong commitment to the sport. He did not exemplify th
7、e Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still, few failed to appreciate his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was perfect for the course. And so even before the race began, he was cl
8、aiming victory. This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me, he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers hostile toward him. That just encouraged him even more. Then on the day of
9、 the event, he turned out the fastest. It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain, Bill Johnson remarked proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States. Not many can do that.Unit 3At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black. I guess my dad wa
10、s a bit of a racist. Unfortunately, no arguments could counter dads beliefs. Despite his protests , though, Will and I decided to go through with our wedding. On a marvelous June day we were married in the park. The wedding went off without any hostile words or embarrassing exchanges. It was actuall
11、y quite beautiful. There was just one problem. Many of our friends and relatives didnt attend our wedding. I had to conclude that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we knew. Other than my father, no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Will. It did not seem appropriate for t
12、hem to show their resistance to our marriage in this way. My dad had strong reservations about my marriage to Will, but at least he was there. Will and I decided to overcome this burden by showing everyone how wrong they were. We wanted not only to love one another, but also to defy racial hatred by
13、 loving one another. We probably werent being all that realistic, but we did succeed with one person. My dad and Will have developed an amazing friendship. My dad says he has forgotten why he ever had any doubts about our marriage.Unit 4What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest
14、, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and possibly even created? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love seems still to defy total understanding. We can, however, know something about love and make stronger connections between individuals.One thing that seems to affect love
15、is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are separated. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more intense.Something that nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more
16、. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love with time.Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also demands selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly committed to finding true love, you s
17、hould make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.Unit 5My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys. He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise. Lately, thoug
18、h, he has ceased to listen to what I say. He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures. The change in his attitude has been very noticeable even to his teachers.The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead
19、he rebelled and stayed out until ten oclock. Later I found out that he had skipped school completely that day. I found out that he was with a(n) bunch of boys who often cause trouble. I decided to forbid him to do anything with those boys, but he didnt listen to me. In spite of my objections to him
20、being with those boys, he was with them the very next day.A friend of mine has a son who is having identical problems. She decided to give him a change of scenery and sent him to a private school. Im not sure this is the best solution, though. You cant just change a boys behavior by changing his sch
21、ool every time he does something wrong. It is better to help a kid establish a good set of core values.Unit 6My name, Bobby, is used both for boys and girls. Girls spell it Bobbie. It is characteristic for little boys to be given a name with a y sound at the end. For example, I often had a Jimmy, Jo
22、hnny or Billy in my classes. In my second grade, I also had a Bobbie. In order not to confuse us when she called our names, our teacher assigned us the names Bobbie Girl and Bobby Boy. This caused me a lot of trouble on the playground. There, my friends labeled me Bobbie Girl. For my friends, the ap
23、parent contrast between my name and my sex was the source of much laughter. The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very embarrassing . I had a tendency to compensate for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have otherwise. I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of th
24、e other boys added together. The real Bobbie Girl, conversely, acted more like a girl. When my teacher realized she had made a mistake, she stopped calling us Bobbie Girl and Bobby Boy. Unfortunately, my friends never forgot or ceased calling me Bobbie Girl. Third grade was an improvement; the origi
