【解析】交流在日常工作中非常重要，文章介绍了交流时需要注意的地方。

【1】考查形容词。句意：在商界，交流对于成功的日常工作很有必要。这里用形容词successful修饰名词。故用successful。

【2】考查形式主语it的用法。句意：在一些国家，比如美国和德国，人们在分享观点时大声说话很正常。这里用形式主语it指代后面真正的不定式主语to speak loudly when sharing ideas or giving direction，故本题用it。

【3】考查名词。句意：但是，在日本这样的国家，人们砸分享观点或者给出建议时会小声说话。make suggestions提出建议，这里用suggestions。

【4】考查副词。句意：随着科技的发展，人们很容易立刻和全世界的人联系。这里用副词修饰动词connect，故用easily。

【5】考查冠词。句意：在联系之前，有几条规则需要记住。a few几个，故这里用a。

【6】考查动名词。句意：在联系之前，有几条规则需要记住。这里介词before后用动名词形式，故用doing。

【7】考查形容词比较级。句意：比如，很多西班牙人比美国人有更长时间的午饭休息时间。根据这里的than可知用比较级longer。

【8】考查动词。这里的意思是”那就意味着，西班牙人需要花一段时间吃饭’，这里根据主谓一致和时态可知用means。

【9】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：那就意味着，西班牙人需要花一段时间吃饭，在这期间你想要见的人是没有时间的。根据结构，这里构造了非限制性定语从句，用介词in+which表示在这期间。故用which。

【10】考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦你联系上他们，慢慢地清楚地说话。be able to do能够做。故这里用to connect。
