11、ed, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York，So I had to get back.

12、ffered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged一okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to earn more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think Im a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know

13、the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.Ive made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks . I have been the consumer reporter of NBCs Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one title

14、d Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in. I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your moneys worth.

BFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture, the smile is

18、 in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example,

19、many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont

20、smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.

21、re. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.

People from certain c

23、ultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.25What does

27、ons face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do yo
