Let’s face it. Business trips aren’t the easiest. You are away from friends and family and must make meetings with partners the best you can. They can be stressful from the car ride to the airport all the way to the security check on the way out. One way to save yourself some of that stress is to pack light and pack right
Prepare yourself ① Know the local customs and do a bit of research on your destination to be sure you are at least somewhat familiar with the cultural differences if there are any. ② Check the weather of your destination. This could change your decisions hugely ③ Call the hotel to find what they offer. Does the room have shampoo, soaps, toothpaste… This can free up some major room in your luggage. ④Make a list on a card with important names and numbers… If you make this as detailed as possible, you will be aware of the time and find things running much smoother. |
Make a plan ①Make a schedule for your trip with time in a car, a train, a plane ②Make a list of important meetings and how long it will take you to get to them. ③If you are traveling abroad or into a different time zone, try to schedule your meeting at least an hour later and change your watch to local time as soon as you arrive… |
Make a list and check it twice ①If possible, try and pack a single carry-on bag, so you can quickly leave the airport and move about without noticeably heavy bags. ②The best thing to do is lay out all the clothes you‘think’ you need out on a bed so that you can see them all before you pack them. Then choose the necessities. ③Roll your shirts and skirts, even ties. White shirts should not go on the bottom of your bag, where they could be crushed. ④Fill your shoes with socks to save room… |

Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?
Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?
In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been 36 only once-for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 37 made me quite curious about how 38 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if 39 with a real mid-air medical emergency-without access 40 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So 41 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 42 a study about in-flight medical events, I 43 it with interest.
The study estimated that there are a(n) 44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 45 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 46 13% of them-roughly four a day-are serious enough to 47 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 48 heart trouble, strokes, and difficult breathing.
Let’s face it: plane rides are 49 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 50 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 51 , but passengers with heart disease 52 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis(血栓)-the so-called economy class syndrome(综合症). 54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation(立法), flights with at 55 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart attacks.
