People      the selected coffee beans and ground (碾碎) them in the shop or carried them home. The      of Starbucks at the time was to sell quality coffee beans so that consumers could      coffee in their own houses.
Just after 1987 Starbucks began to show significant      after their brand was bought by a former employee of Starbucks, Howard Schultz. He joined Starbucks in 1982 and his       to Milan changed his ideas about the coffee shop. Italy, a country that was famous for their coffee consuming habits, inspired Howard to bring these Italian-style coffee shops to the American      and the world. However, the idea was      by the owner of Starbucks because he believed the business of Starbucks should     the same. That is, they should       selected coffee beans, and not an Italian-style coffee shop.
After      Starbucks in 1985, Howard Schultz set up his own shop      the name of ⅡGiomale. This name      was not too good. After he bought the Starbucks brand he quickly changed the name of the shop to Starbucks, and the business      to be a great success.
People liked to come to Starbucks because the      was different and helped to release tiredness after working all      long. A shift in American culture was also      towards the Starbucks’ success, because before American people liked to go to a      and drink alcohol. It was clear that drinking coffee was much healthier than drinking alcohol. Starbucks’ success      to many countries, and the culture of drinking coffee has become popular all over the world.

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.
A girl named Jenny once told me about her   36   in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke 37   :
My 38    with my mom all started one day   39   she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure sassy today.” I   40   it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never   41   back to her. So every time she would say something   42    I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay, 43   you want, Mom”
But I really got cold quickly. And my   44    began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s   45   ”and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever   46   ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was   47   upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I   48    her how important it was to me.
At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to   49   . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s   50   than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a   51    to her.
After my blowup, we felt like we were   52    all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always   53   my feeling with her.
If you adopt Lose Win as your basic   54    toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be   55   your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.
