Great and informative qingwen!

I had also bumped into this form before and found it befuddling as well.

Though以为 as a phrase like 我以为认错人了 ”I thought I had mistakenly recognized you“ is pretty口语

Also there was a fairly recent upper intermediate lesson "beware of professional beggar" http://chinesepod.com/lessons/beware-of-professional-beggars#sthash.LmUTcYa6.dpbs where they use this form as well "他们以乞讨为职业" they make begging into a job.That seemed like a common use of the 以。。。为 structure as well.

那受刺激和令你震惊有什么区别呢,好像意思差不多的

决心和决意有哪不同的地方?

can 受刺激 be used to talk about culture shock? 比如"你一开始来到中国的时候你 最受刺激的事情是什么"
