37、 get rid of tile bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuriesThe American bug could also be a person，an enthusiast or a fanatic, as the Congressional Globe(美国国会议事录)records in l841： “Mr. Alford of Georgia warned the tariff bugs of t
38、he South thathe would read them out of churchAnd although “fan” became the usual term, sports enthusiasts were racing bugs, basketball bugs, and the likeAnd a bug could be just a plain person with mental disease, confined(限制)to a bughouse.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, a telegraph ke
39、y; a dip used by a card sharp to hold cards under the table；even a car, the small, bug-shaped, trademarked Volkswagen beetleThe bug could also be burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, originally to install an alarm now a surveillance(监控)device like a hidden microphoneSince
40、the l840s to bug has long meant “to cheat”，and since the l940s it has been annoyingWe also know the bug as a fault in a computer program or other designThat meaning dates back long before computers to the laboratory of inventor Thomas EdisonIn l878 he explained bugs as little fault and difficulties

46、efits from socializing and interacting with individuals who work for their suppliersThe first, Dr. Bohlmanns study analyzed cross-functional product development teams，which combine together engineers, researchers and business personnelThe point to involve people with various backgrounds was to show
47、that there was a focus on finance, marketing and also on a design and functionality, right from the start of the product-development process. In addition to all this, this diversity also helped to make communication more effective in order to ensure that all members of the team were socializing and
48、cooperating, and not just working at cross-purposesAs a result, it indicated that “interactional fairness awareness” indeed had an effect on a “cross-functional communication”. In other words, all the team members who thought that they had been treated well and respected, showed a great increase in
49、their commitment to the success of the project they had been working on in cooperation with other team members, and，in particular, when they realized their project manager or supervisor to be a kind, nice and honest guyAccording to DrBohlmann，the increase in such commitment is very essential and imp
