10、fficulty with most of my school work.When the other kids made fun of me, I was sure that I was a bad person. I saw myself as a boy who wasnt smart enough to keep up with the class.Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.One morning, she asked the class

11、a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand because I was sure I had the right answer. But when she called on me, I was afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. Maybe even impress my classmates a litt

12、le. I didnt want to blow it. Despite my fears, I took a deep breath and answered Mrs. Jordans question.I will never forget what happened next.

With a few minutes to spare betw

17、een meetings, you go to get a quick cup of coffee. “Hey, David, how are you?” one of the senior partners at the firm asks you. “Good, thank you, Dr. Greer,” you reply. Youve really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership atthe firm, and this seems like a great opportunity. But a

18、s you start to think of something to say, your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight. “So Arnold”, your colleague says to your boss, in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩), “So whats your Super bowl prediction? I mean, youre a Niners fan, right?” The convers

19、ation moves on, and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee. You know how important small talk is in the U.S., and you feel jealous of people who can do it well. Theres nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture. People from other countries are o

20、ften surprised at how important small talk is in the U.S. and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it - with peers, men, women, and even with superiors. You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world, but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dep

21、endent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work. And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk. What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U.S. to build relationshi

22、ps and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨练) your own version of American-style small talk. Watch how others do it. You dont have to imitate what they do; in fact, that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic. But if you can develop your own personal version, that can go a

Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides,

26、and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on

27、Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very

28、 used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College. The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to m

29、ore freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in

30、ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and thats a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be

31、a plus.” Schor continued. To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money.

For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 12. The American teens like the autho
