____小题2:___ Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.

小题1:B与上文的顺承,Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group,句意为:一些标记被用来鉴别人的身份作为族人的一部分,故下文应是另一部分标记是用在某些仪式上比如说婚礼和战争的时候。与some相对应的others故答案应为B。
小题2:A与下文的衔接。they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.他们参加一些特殊的仪式,在这种仪式上他们头和脸涂上了红色。本自然段讲述了红色的意义,故答案应为A。
小题3:D对下文的理解。To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment.为了显示,他已经杀死了一头狮子,一个男士将把他涂成白色,使得这种特殊的标记来显示他们的成就。所以答案应为D,意为,是用独特的方式来显示他的勇敢。
小题4:G上下文的衔接。The men paint their faces yellow and red.把他们的脸涂上黄色和红色,与下文接着再加上黑白相间的圆,在眼的附近和嘴唇上涂上黑色相照应,故答案为G。

Last weekend I went to the Summer Palace as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happening. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many people standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd and I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.

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.     小题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!    小题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.      小题3:     . 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.      小题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?       小题5:    .
A.It doesn’t have to be that bad.
B.Take several deep breaths after your speech.
C.This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
