My family, my boss, even my doctor had told me this would happen, but I didn.t listen. They said I was getting _1_ and focusing too much on the negative things that happened to me. "If you don.t learn to control how you _2_ 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 _3_ about are beyond your control. Getting caught in them is very _4_ for you physically and emotionally. You have to learn to let these things go and _5_ on things you can actually change." I, undoubtedly, should have made his advice my number one _6_ right then. Unfortunately, I got caught in a traffic _7_ that very same day while driving home from work. This was the setting for the heart attack my doctor had _8_ me about. Instead of looking for a better outlet for my stress, I began to _9_ 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 _10_ me to the hospital. I have definitely learned that life is too short to worry about things you can.t control.（5分） Apriority Bfavorite Cjam Dyell Ereact Fcounter Gcomplain Hmoan Ifocus Jdestructive ​financial ​warned ​threatened ​overwhelmed ​accompanied
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 _1_ to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no _2_ like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) _3_ in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) _4_ 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 _5_, there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being _6_ when there is too much pressure. I don.t believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the _7_ is that they just don.t care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another _8__of making money. All of this used to create a real _9_ for me. At first, it caused me to have as little _10__ 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. （5分） Aassessed Baccessed Crituals Dconvention Eperception Fdistinction Gmeans Hprocess Idilemma Jrelation ​interaction ​appropriate ​convenient ​leisurely ​abrupt
