作业

语音作业（必做）

今天主要练习停顿和图表的解说（位置：10:21）

(Laughter)

The agreeable givers are easy to spot: they say yes to everything. The disagreeable takers are also recognized quickly, although you might call them by a slightly different name.

(Laughter)

We forget about the other two combinations. There are disagreeable givers in our organizations. There are people who are gruff and tough on the surface but underneath have others' best interests at heart. Or as an engineer put it, "Oh, disagreeable givers — like somebody with a bad user interface but a great operating system."
