              But people are getting (4) and tired of such perfection,leading to something Pamela Grossman,a director at Getty Images,calls"perfection fatigue(疲劳)".This new attitude is now (5) people to value something different: (6)
              The pizza company Domino"s,for example,is (7) the trend by encouraging its customers to (8) unedited pictures of their pizzas on social media,as part of the nofilter(未过滤的)movement that"s become so popular on Instagram.This may mean oily boxes. (9) cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat,but these (10) show what we"re actually (11)
              "It"s (12) what it looks like when you really get a pizza,"Dennis Maloney,chief digital officer of Domino"s,told the website Fastcodesign."It feels much more honest and transparent when the images are imperfect."
              Things are also changing with perfect human images.For example,US clothing company Gap (13) a"Dress Normal"campaign in 2014, (14) simple clothes instead of smart suits like those of runway models.
              "We spend so much time trying to (15) our shortcomings owing to the fact that our (16) has set it up that we have to be (17) if we"re not perfect,"US filmmaker Cynthia Wade told The New York Times."I think people are tired of it.They"re suddenly much more willing to (18) the ugly or sarcastic."
              But while it"s probably true that we won"t see an (19) to"perfect"pictures any time soon,at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be (20) to be imperfect,or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal"s albums,Perfectly Imperfect.

              An important part of any business relationship is informal conversation.Before you start a discussion, (1) ,make sure you understand which topics are (2) and which are considered taboo (禁忌) in a (3) culture.Latin Americans enjoy (4) information about their local history,art,and customs. (5) questions about your family,and be sure to show pictures of your children.You may feel free to ask (6) questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art (7) ,and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as (8) .For them,arguments can be interesting-and they can (9) pretty much or any topic- (10) they occur in are spiteful and intelligent manner.
              In the United States,business people like to discuss a (11) range of topics,including opinions about work,family,hobbies,and politics.In Japan,China,and Korea,however,people are much more private.They do not share much about (12) thoughts,feelings,or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away the harmonious business relationship they're trying to (13) .Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family (14) .It is considered (15) ,for example,to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
              As a general (16) ,it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.This (17) get you into trouble, (18) in the United States,where people hold different religious views.In addition,discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is (19) a friendly subject in most parts of the world,although be careful not to (20) a national sport.Instead,be friendly and praise your host's team.

              The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish from each other a lot.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems (1)
              The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries:China and India.Both of the two cultures are gestated(孕育)by (2) .In China,the mother river is the Yellow River (3) the Indian one is the Hindu River.These two cultures were (4) for several thousand years and formed their own styles Then in the Tang Dynasty of China,the Chinese culture (5) went overseas to Japan, (6) into the Japanese society and (7) the Japanese culture nowadays.Though a bit different from the Chinese one,it (8) to the same system.
              When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture,another famous culture was (9) on the Mesopotamian Plain(美索不达米亚平原)-the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.And these two are well-known as the (10) of the European culture. (11) the Chinese culture,the European one also (12) waters.When the colonists of England (13) in America,their culture went with them over,the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't (14) from the European one a lot.
              At the same time,the (15) of the language systems adds to the cultural differences.In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic (象形文字的) language while the Western languages are (16) based on the Latin system,for example,the one I'm using to write this paper.
              Other factors like human race difference (17) counts as well.However, (18) the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West,the two cultures seldom (19) until recent centuries. (20) ,they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference(干扰) from the other.

              Americans prefer to try every way to have fun.For example,they drive their own cars,some even tow a small boat after vehicle.They start from Los Angeles,California under sun, (1) through four or five hundred miles to go to La Fulin,Colorado to spend weekends (2) Chinese people are still busy with work,and have dinner at home together with families on weekends or (3) time watching TV.
              The difference is mainly due to cultural customs and traditions (4) the two countries.It is said that Chinese people are living for others,while Americans are for (5) .When Chinese people come to the United States,they fight for (6) first,and then desperately make money after they are recognized by others.It seems that,the purpose to earn money is not to enjoy life, (7) for their following generations:sons and daughters and even grandchildren.Chinese people prefer to save money (8) emergency'such as illness.Although Chinese people with (9) in the United States don't need to worry about their own social welfare and health insurance,they work still very hard, (10) they hope that they can save more money.

(17) ,they earn money to enjoy a (18) life,and pursue a higher quality of life.As for their own parents or children,they think that parents have their own pension and social welfare,and children should live a(n) (19) life when they are 18years old.So they could boldly spend money on themselves.
