I laid my bike down and picked up the bike lock from theUnit 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 sense 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 each 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 don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they just don't 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 cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.Unit 3At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black. I guess my dad was a bit of a racist. Unfortunately, no arguments could counter dad's 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 actually quite beautiful. There was just one problem. Many of our friends and relatives didn't 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 them 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 loving one another. We probably weren't being all that realistic,but we did succeed with oneperson. 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, 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 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. 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 should 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, though, 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 he rebelled and stayed out until ten o'clock. 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 didn't listen to me. In spite of my objections to him 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. I'm not sure this is the best solution, though. You can't just change a boy's behavior by changing his school 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, Johnny 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 teacherassigned 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 apparent contras t 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 the 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 original "Bobbie Girl" was in a different class. Also, I requested the teacher just call me "Bob".Unit 7My family, my boss, even my doctor had told me this would happen, but I didn't listen. They said I was getting overwhelmed and focusing too much on the negative things that happened to me. "If you don't learn to control how you react to bad things that happen in your life, you are going to cause damage to your heart," said my doctor. "So many of the situations you complain about are beyond your control. Getting caught in them is very destructive for you physically and emotionally. You have to learn to let these things go and focus on things you can actually change." I, undoubtedly, should have made his advice my number one priority right then. Unfortunately, I got caught in a traffic jam that very same day while driving home from work. This was the setting for the heart attack my doctor had warned me about. Instead of looking for a better outlet for my stress, I began to yell at the car in front of 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 accompanied me to the hospital. I have definitely learned that life is too short to worry about things you can't control.。
