Unit 1
As 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 a(n) chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper
with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.
作为一个外国人在美国做生意，我觉得很匆忙。我习惯了做生意的时候，开放交流的友好。在芝加哥，一切都不同了。你没有时间去了解彼此。这似乎并不适合我。是没有机会发展一个信任人们见面时谈的问题。没有任何仪式喜欢茶或者咖啡谈生意，虽然这是一个在我国（略）公约。当我们讨论业务开始与（氮）悠闲地聊天。我认为这是非常重要的商业伙伴熟悉彼此第一和放松。如果交流是太突然了，有一种风险，有些事情是可以遗忘。一些可能没有得到评估时，有太多的压力。我不相信这是最好的战略，适当的沟通。此外，看法是，他们只是不关心你作为个人在这里。你基本上只是另一种赚钱的方法。
这一切，用来创建一个真正的困境我。首先，它使我有小小的互动与美国商业合作伙伴尽可能。渐渐地，虽然，我已经明白了我们两国之间的文化差异。这真的让我感到更舒适，在这里做生意。

Unit 4
What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious
One thing that seems to love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are
they will end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of or need transform into love with time.
Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly to finding true love, you should make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.
我们知道什么是爱吗？这是因为，一些人建议，一个神秘的力量？或许可以解释，甚至可能造成的？好的，即使在这种科学和理性的时代，爱似乎仍然不完全理解。我们可以，但是，知道什么是爱和作出更大的个人之间的联系.

有一点似乎是爱的距离影响。普遍的看法是，人与人之间的爱成长为他们分开。有时这是真的，渴望某人去了海外变得更加激烈。
一些滋养爱情是危险的。发送爱好者危险的地方，他们将会爱彼此。这可能是因为担心它的发展。它也可能是感情的不确定性或需要变换成与时间的爱。
爱让我们温暖，勇气，和一个安全的感觉，但它也需要无私的奉献和牺牲。如果你是真正致力于寻找真爱，你应该让自己更有趣。做你喜欢的事情，并努力满足人们谁分享相同的兴趣。

Unit 7
My family, my boss, even my doctor had told me this would happen, but I didn't things that happened to me. "If you don't learn to control how you to bad things that happen in your life, you are going to cause damage to your heart," said Getting caught in them is very for you physically and emotionally.

me. Then the muscle fibers of my heart began beating like a bag of worms instead of pumping blood. Fortunately, it was only a mild heart attack. Someone came to my aid and then to the hospital. I have definitely learned that life is too short to worry about things you can't control.
我的家人，我的老板，我的医生告诉我这会发生，但我没有听。他们说我是越来越不堪重负，重点太多的负面的事情发生在我。”如果你不学会控制你如何反应，糟糕的事情发生在你的生活，你会损害你的心，说：“我的医生。”这么多的情况，你抱怨你无法控制的。遇上他们是非常破坏你的身体和情感。你必须学会让这些事情于事情上，你可以改变。”我，毫无疑问，应该让他的忠告我优先权利。不幸的是，我遇到交通堵塞时，同一天下班开车回家。这是设置的心脏病医生警告我。而不是寻找一个更好的出路，我的压力，我开始在我前面的车。然后，肌纤维的我的心开始跳动像一袋蠕虫不是抽水血液。幸运的是，这只是一个轻微的心脏病发作。有人来帮助我，陪我去医院。我有一定了解，生命太短暂，担心那些你不能控制的事情。
Unit 8
Having a lot of money is useless without a good education. Life isn't simply about consumption and having a good time when you're not at work. Money will only cause you grief unless you use it for the literature, and culture helps a person learn how to from wrong. Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only skills for performing a task. It doesn't teach you how to make important decisions. Employers tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task. Our world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their It is far too many people today are focusing on making money and not on improving themselves. What me is why people should can't be built on the principle of making money alone.
around them. This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.
有很多钱是无用的，没有一个好的教育。生活不是简单的消费和有一个很好的时间，当你不在工作。钱只会使你悲伤，除非你使用它，世界人民的福利。这就是为什么我认为一个好的教育是必不可少的。一个正式的教育重点放在历史，文学和文化，帮助一个人学习如何明辨是非。教育只有教技能的具体工作才能使技能执行任务。它不教你如何做重要的决定。雇主往往更需要员工的能力来执行任务。我们的世界需要工人谁经常注意高标准的性能。显而易见的是，很多人今天的重点是赚钱而不是在改善自己。令我不解的是，为什么人们要忽略的贡献人类的利

益而赚钱。这是唯一合理的人谁给世界享有的好处。毕竟，我们的文明不可能的原则基础上赚钱的。
总之，我们要教育年轻人了解和喜欢他们周围的世界。这是唯一的出路，以确保一个更好的明天。

been that I am much more ambitious than most. The way I see it, life is too short to make periodical to comfort and fun. If you want to accomplish something remarkable, you've got to stay and constantly work toward your goals. My goal has been to become a(n) since I was a young boy.
I didn't want to deceive myself about how hard it would be, so I started that day by do my work before school. I was arrived to work early to ask questions. I wasn't much of a scholar, so I eventually and did not give up my dream. I wrote for the school newspaper and when I graduated, took a job sorting mail with a local media company. I later convinced them to give me a chance to write some simple articles. That's how I got my start.
有人曾告诉我滚出去的床。我的头号资产一直是我更加雄心勃勃的比大多数。在我看来，生命太短暂，使期刊优惠的舒适和乐趣。如果你想完成某件事情，你要保持积极性和不断的向着你的目标。我的目标是成为一个（氮）记者因为我是一个年轻的男孩。我八岁的时候，我的父亲说，“这一领域的工作是对你太竞争。你应该更现实的前景和能力。”
我不想欺骗自己有多么难，所以我开始这一天被送报纸的工作。我离开了家，每天清晨四点半做我的工作在学校。我喜欢上了印刷机，所以我总是去上班早问问题。我不是个学者，所以我最终结束在普通高校招生。不过，我希望成为一个记者并没有放弃我的梦想。我为学校题写了报纸，当我毕业了，工作了邮件分类与当地媒体公司。后来我让他们给我一个机会，写一些简单的文章。这就是我开始的。
UNIT 8
It is strange that some people tell us the economy is bad and the job market is changing for the worse, especially for young people. This puzzles me. From my perspective, the world is never seen so many incredible opportunities for young people exiting college. Trends toward specialized careers and lower salaries leave economists and sociologists fearful that the next generation of

employees will be confined to roles that are too narrow and thus not regarding enough. Many say corporations are taking advantage of the labor force. But, no one is forcing our youth into such occupations. If a rewarding job does not exist in the current system, they’ll have to create it for themselves. The Internet has already answered students’ cries for more career possibilities. The next breakthrough to create something truly creative is bound to happen anything now. At the same time let’s ensure that students are prepared for the day when their chances are coming. By telling our young people everything has already been done and that there is nothing left to dream about, we are robbing them of the opportunity to create a system that is new and exciting, outside the confines of what is currently imaginable. But then again, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I shouldn’t worry about our youth at all. Their ability to challenge what is before them and defy our unnecessary worries is their great strength. Maybe by telling them they can’t, we are in effect encouraging them to create something truly incredible. All in all, the future for the young people is not gloomy; instead, it is promising.
