11、r the night. Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July, the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre. We decided to sell them online for $50. One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets. Since the time was limited, I told
12、Peter to pay me the next day. Peter seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye.However, a month later, Peter still didnt pay me back. A few more weeks passed. Another month. Thered been one e-mail promising to mail the check, then silence.Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought. But truth was, Pet
13、er seemed to be having a pretty normal time. According to the pictures and messages on his Face book, he had been playing golf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat. But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e-mails or messages. So I tried reaching him with my wifes
14、 phone one night. And he didnt pick up when I called, but texted right back, playfully wondering who might be calling him.“You should go to his office, “my wife said, “He would have to give you the money if all his coworkers were watching.”But I didnt want to become a debt collector. My efforts to r
15、each Peter over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way. My initial exchange with Peter had been just two regular people agreeing to handle things humanly.

19、eck out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble. When you are pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.1.Yotel New YorkThe self-servic
20、e kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones youd see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There is even a robotic luggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and sto
21、re your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is head to a series of meetings.2. Marriott Detroit AirportAnother option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325
22、hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (Ive tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iphone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and
23、 your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.3. Hyatt Regency MinneapolisI happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The w
24、hole process took about three minutes, when I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.4. Radisson: LaCrosseThe Radisson is trying to make the kios
25、k process even faster, at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text.

28、ou with all the check-in process.B.With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key.C.The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal.CEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someo
29、ne. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them
30、and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well. That doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. M
31、ost of the time they will make up (和解) and go on being friends.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we g
32、o to these places.Theres more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who dont. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well.

36、ork if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction. For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friend
37、s and families. For many others, though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax. Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app M

This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and
