17、rden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less whi

18、le all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what

19、 kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well theres your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce 4fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longe

20、r for the Big Boys.”With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.Thinking about my sisters gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I-but once she discovered that information, she was no

21、 longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants.

22、nd worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass.

25、 bad beginning makes a bad ending.C. Success sometimes needs a little patience. D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.COne of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first

26、 place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that

27、you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)-holding back from saying something until youve “checked” to make sure that what youre about to say is cool, impressive and interes

28、ting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you dont know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.5It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. Its fun to realize that youre allowed to say whatever is

29、on your mind. As long as you dont say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the “Oh! Thats interesting” “Hmm, Ive never heard of that” “Hmm, cool!” expressions are reactionary (保守的 ) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that youre really listening. This works 99% of the tim

30、e. So, if you show some interest, theyll hang around and want to talk to you even more. Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if its not from yo

34、er than normal wages is a pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past several years, a handful of progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradu

35、ally stop tipping at the companys 13 restaurants.What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less its everything. To start, leaving a waiters pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视)And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is

36、 at least supposed to motivate better service. This fails in practice because humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (随意的) about their tipping behavior. Research has shown that the amount diners tip has very little to do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesnt encourage waiters and wait

37、resses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.6Tipping is also very unfair to kitchen staff.

Rather, Union Square Hospitality Group me
