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. 1. .
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.”
Cheep up! 2. . 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 examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3. . 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. 4. . 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? 5. .
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.
E. Don’t give a try to say what you aren’t familiar with.
F. Never forget your audience.
G. Give it a try and see what happens.

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory（记忆力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.
1.The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______.

A．his father or mother may have a poor memory |
|

|
D．they will become neither stronger nor weaker |
3.Which of the following is NOT true?
|
A．Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs. |
|
B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice. |
|
C．Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. |

Some American parents might think their children need better education to compete with China and other countries’ children． But how much do the parents themselves need to change?
A new book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting． Ms． Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and a mother of two daughters． She was raised in America by immigrant Chinese parents． In her book, Ms． Chua wrote about how she demanded excellence from her daughters． For example, she threatened to burn her daughter’s dolls unless she played a piece of music perfectly． She would scold her daughters if they failed to meet her expectations．
Ms． Chua had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do: “Attend a sleepover, have a play date, watch TV or play computer games, be in a school play, get any grade less than an A．” Many people criticize Amy Chua, saying her parenting methods were cruel and violent． She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style． But she says that is the way her parents raised her and her three sisters．
Ms． Chua says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities． Amy Chua thinks one of the biggest differences between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents take on strength rather than fragility．”
Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says: “Parents should rethink, what does it mean to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child?” She says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families． It represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children． But she also sees a risk． When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life． Stacey DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised．
1.Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is mainly about ___________．
A． how to teach children to learn music
B． how to change the ways of parenting
C． Amy Chun’s experience in parenting
D． Amy Chun’s reflection of her family life
2.The underlined word “rebelled” in Paragraph 4 probably means “____________”．
A． disobeyed B． succeeded C． failed D． panicked
3. According to Ms． Chua, Chinese way of parenting is powerful because ____________．
A． parents set good examples to children
B． parents understand their children better
C． parents usually treat their children as friends
D． parents have high expectations of their children
4.What is Stacy DeBroff’s warning to immigrant parents?
A． Don’t expect too much from their children．
B． Don’t allow them to communicate with others．
C． Don’t give them freedom to do what they want to．
D． Don’t bring up their children as their parents did．

When you are talking to somebody at a party, do you focus entirely on the person you are speaking with or does your attention keep jumping around the room to all the other people there? General1y, if the person is someone you really want to talk to, you will focus on him. Most other people will only get about half of your attention.
You may think that this is OK, because if you don’t really want to talk to him, then what does it matter if you don’t give him your full attention? Consider two things. First, you may just not realize the importance of that conversation. If you are at a networking meeting and you hope to meet the CEO of Company X, but you end up talking to someone who has a low-level job at a different company, then you may let your attention wander（走神）as you speak to him. But maybe you don’t realize that this person has already met the CEO and could introduce you. Do you think he will do that if he feels you don’t really care about speaking to him? This doesn’t mean you need to spend the whole time talking to him. Five or ten minutes of real attentive（专心的）conversation can be worth 30 minutes to an hour of partial attention.
Second, whether you want to speak to someone is based on the situation. You can love your wife, but if she tries to talk to you while you are watching something you like on TV, where is your attention going? Make your own decision, but if you want her to feel valued, give her your 100% attention. The nice thing is that in many cases you can give her your attention for a few minutes and then return to what you were doing. You miss very little, she feels valued, and all is good.
1.The author’s opinion is made believable mainly by ________.
A using figures B. giving examples C. asking questions D. description
2.The second paragraph mainly tells you that ________.
A. you should be interested in everyone at a party
B. you can refuse to talk to someone you don’t like at a party
C. you should focus on whoever you are talking to
D. you should be patient with everyone at a party
3.A person who has a low-level job probably ________.
A. would like to talk to you
B. is well worth focusing on
C. wants to make friends with you
D. is the one you’re looking for
4.If your wife wants to talk to you when you are busy, you should ________.
A. decide what to do according to the situation
B. go on with what you are doing
C. stop doing anything immediately
D. finish what you are doing with her
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Always be friendly to others at a party.
B. It is important for you to be active at a party.
C. You should respect your wife at any time.
D. Improve your communication skills by focusing on others
