    Reading novels is a tricky business; reading novels in a foreign language is exceptionally tricky. And, please bear in mind, I have not read this novel. That said, "good Joe" is an American expression meaning a good person, someone you can trust.. I wouldn't say that "friend" explains the preceding "Joe", rather I would say that it influences the way we think about Sheldon as a "good Joe". Because, was Sheldon really a "friend", a word that has "sprouted leaves of meaning"? Did Trotsky have friends? Could he trust the people he thought were his friends? After his assassination did the word friend mean what we take it to mean? Did it mean anything in "Casa Trotsky"?

    Simply put, no. It can be used sarcastically, but it isn't always.

    It's perfectly correct, but to an American ear it does sound archaic. Very few Americans would say, "they play basketball and we baseball", much more common would be "...and we play baseball".

    Although "nobody questions my ability to get the job done" is in a form that makes it sound like the passive voice, there is nothing passive about it. "Get the job done" does mean literally what it seems to mean, i.e. to finish or to complete a task, but it is in fact an idiom. It means not only that I have the skills/ability to do the job, but that that I have the will to see it to completion.

    Oliver's answer is a good one, I would only add that "honor" is the American spelling, "honour" the British.

    Q2 DO you think family relationships become more or less important as people grow older?
    Well, I think that family relationships depend on ages.
    When people are young, they pay attention to career advancement and they spend time on meeting business partners and employers. It benefits their social relationships and top-level promotion.
    On the other hand, when people retired, they want the company of family.
    If their children and grandchildren can accompany them, they will be content with the life.
    Otherwise, they may feel lonely.

    Q3 Do you think money is important to a life why or why not?
    Yes, I think money is important to life because it satisfies our basic needs, like food and housing.
    Also, with a large sum of money, people can enjoy a decent quality of life.
    Otherwise, people may feel stressful stressed  if they don’t have sufficient money to afford basic necessities.
    On the other hand, there is something as important as money in our life, like family relationships.
    Family relationships can determine whether you can achieve happiness or not.
    For example, if a millionaire doesn’t have the company of his family, he may fell feel lonely.

    Q4.where does pressure come from in our daily life?
    I feel that the increasing increasingly heavy workload is the main cause.
    In this competitive society, people have to work overtime to finish their work commitments and satisfy their employers.
    As a result, they feel they are under a lot of pressure.
    Another problem is the relationship between friends and families.
    Employees have to deal with official office politics; similarly, students have to solve problems in social activities.
    We all know it’s very difficult to tackle these problems which are related to social skills.
    That’s maybe why they feel stressful.
