对话内容：

　　Matt: Hey Jane – what’s the matter?

　　Jane: It was a rough day at work – the boss blew up at me when I told him I hadn’t finished a project on time. He said I was lazy, unreliable, and that I had really let him down.

　　Matt: Sorry to hear that.

　　Jane: What really pisses me off is that there were legitimate reasons for the delay, but he didn’t even let me explain. He just yelled at me for a solid 20 minutes before he finally calmed down. I was so shaken up that I left early to try and pull myself together.

　　Matt: Aw, I feel for you. I’ve worked with a number of people who flip out when something doesn’t go exactly according to plan.

　　Jane: How do you cope with co-workers like that?

　　Matt: Try not to let their comments get to you. Remember that some people lash out at others when they’re under a lot of pressure.

　　Jane: True. I’m dreading going to work tomorrow, though – my boss is probably still fuming about the whole situation.

　　Matt: Don’t fret about it – just do your best work in the future, and he’ll eventually get over this one incident.

　　Jane: I hope so.

　　Matt: Hey, I know what’ll help cheer you up – how about seeing that new comedy movie everyone’s been raving about?

　　Jane: Oh, my sister saw that the other day and loved it – she said she was cracking up the entire time. Let’s definitely go!
