As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some tips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good meal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion（消化）. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate（提前準(zhǔn)備）your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed．Take a folding（折疊）case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy（方便）for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first time by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

1．Who is the author’s intended audience?

    A．Working women who have no time for cooking.

B．Husbands and children of working women.

C．Working women who must travel on their own.

D．Hotel personnel who must attend to working women.

B．Professional men refuse to go with women on business trips.

C．Each year there are more women tourists in the United States.

D．Businesswomen become successful by showing a willingness to travel alone.

3．Why is lightweight luggage important for the traveling businesswomen?

A．It provides space for dirty clothes.

B．It is easy to carry and move.

C．it can double as a briefcase.

　　When asked to point out of or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars．

　　A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected．It is a treasure we should prove it．Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements．And the sult can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship．

　　The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended．First, don’t let your pride get in your way．Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open．Second, apologize when you’re wrong–even if you’ve been wronged．Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes．Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong．Third, see things from your friend’s point of view(觀點(diǎn))．And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles(生活方式)change．Making friends can sometimes seem easy The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships．My suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培養(yǎng))．

As a foreigner , I often hear the Chinese calling me laowai ” . If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no understanding of Asian customs , I might be angry when I am called a “ laowai ” . But having lived in the Philippines and China’s Taiwan Province teaching English for several years , I have come to China with a different view from most other foreign teachers here . In such situations , I just answer back in standard Chinese : “ Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren ?( How do you know I’m a foreigner ? )” When I hear people shout out “ hello ” in a more impolite way and then laugh , I reply in Chinese with “ Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao .(Your English is better than mine .)”
Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China . As an English teacher at Hubei University in Wuhan , I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family . Because I can speak Chinese quite freely , I was able to talk with my student’s entire family . From my personal experience , I knew that the Chinese have a “ gift ”for making foreigners in China feel right at home .
