12．George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker，not an artist.Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure，Mr.Nakashima rejected the label of artist.For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs，tables，and cabinets.
Nakashima had a clear goal.He intended to make each piece of furniture as perfect as possible.Even making a box was an act of creation，because it produced an object that had never existed before.Initially Nakashima used local wood，sometimes from his own property.Later，he traveled to seek out English oak，Persian walnut，African zebrawood and Indian teak.He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was cut down.Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.
Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards，but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots （节疤） and cracks.These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a colourful life.
He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful.One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter，Mira，to use when she sat at the table for meals.The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions.Another famous piece，the conoid chair，has two legs supported by blade-like feet.Always，Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful，marked by the simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.
As the years passed，Nakashima's reputation grew and he received many awards.His children Mira and Kevin，now adults，joined the team of crafts-people in their father's studio.Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true.

14．Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland，California，makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven.Many of them are sweet.For example，the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame （芝麻） seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said： "We get a lot of comments，for example，'The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.' ''Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up." She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries （糕点）.
Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
"Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression，" said Robert Ku，who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy：The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
"The bakers are showing that their foods，which mix cultures，are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored，" Ku said. "They're instead really trying to fuse things together."

15．Everyone knows the advantages of using e-mail.It's much faster than ordinary mail.It's much cheaper than the telephone. （1）
However，it is not always good to use e-mail at work.Some companies are limiting the use of e-mail in their offices for several reasons.
（2）You send out your message and then you have to wait for an answer.This is not a problem if you need to send simple information.But if the message is more complicated，e-mail is not so good.
There is another problem with e-mail：You don't get much information from the message.You have only the words themselves.This doesn't matter if the message is just about facts or if it is not important. （3）You can't tell much about what the e-mail sender was thinking or feeling.You may put your own feelings into the message.And this can lead to communication problems in a company.
Psychologists from England studied office workers opening their e-mail.（4）They found that certain kinds of messages made blood pressure go up.It went up if the messages seemed angry or negative.It also went up if the messages were from the boss.It went up the highest when the messages were both negative and from the boss.
The psychologists said that people should be careful when they use e-mail at work.This is especially true for the people with top jobs in a company.（5）They should never send important news by e-mail.They should always meet face to face with the person.
A.One reason is that email is only one-way.
B.Sometimes，their blood pressure went down.
C.Their messages can easily hurt or upset people.
