In the United States, there are about eleven million meetings taking place every working day. The reason is that people can often find better ideas when getting together. A meeting gives each member a chance to present his or her ideas and to discuss them with others. People hope that they can have a better use of time and money in this way. However, meetings must be controlled. If everyone wants to have a chance at a meeting, it can be very noisy; some people may even get angry. On the other hand, if no one wants to say anything, the meeting will be very dull and awkward. How can we deal with this problem? In fact, there is a man called chairman at a meeting, whose job is to keep the discussion in order. He helps to guide the discussion and makes decisions. Therefore, most of the time whether a meeting is a success or a waste of time depends on the chairman. 1. What is this passage about? A) American people. B) Good ideas. C) Meetings.
