Removed from their hunting lands, the Indians have no choice 29 their culture. Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. Now people are working together to correct them. Tourists, too, are 30 the pressure. Though the beginnings are small, the results are 31 . The good news is that everyone, including us, can 32 in helping the local people in the place we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by 33 that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages. They can make it a point to use only locally 34 hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy.

The driver almost caused a(n) 41 , saying bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy 42 . So, I said, “This guy almost 43 your car and sent us to the 44 !” On the way to the Grand Central Station, my taxi driver told me what I now 45 “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 71 .
So, you have to give a speech ─ and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! 72 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many example as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 73 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief, 74 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 75 .
A.It doesn’t have to be that bad. |
B.Take several deep breaths before your speech. |
C.This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech. |
D.Say what you have to say and then stop. |

When you are far away from home for the first time and have a lot to adjust to,you can't do it alone. However independent you are,it is good to have a roommate during your first year.
Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.
Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can't always be there. Even worse, they may be selfcentered and show no interest in your problem. It's not that roommates aren't like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.
Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don't like each other,you still study,relax,and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along.
Finally,having a roommate exposes (使接触) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city,and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don't have to end up liking the same things your roommate does,but try to learn something different. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate?
Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides,there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years.
【小题1】Who are probably the intended readers of the passage?
A.University teachers. |
B.Students who are not independent. |
C.Students in the first year of college. |
D.Students who will graduate from college soon. |
A.roommates will become good friends in the end |
B.there may be disagreements between roommates |
C.students can choose those they like as their roommates |
D.those with similar interests can become roommates |
A.tell the importance of friends |
B.compare friends with roommates |
C.encourage students to find a roommate |
D.state the different ways of living |
