It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that   1  less than three minutes.
Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered,   2 you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by   3 these simple tips:
Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to   4  . Avoid technical   5 or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.
Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their   6 of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a   7 picture so they can better understand your words.
Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary   8 in your speech to a minimum amount.
Humor can be an effective way to   9 your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen   10 , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are   11 to.
Your speech will probably either inform or   12 your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.
Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see   13 you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you   14 and feel more comfortable.
Make sure to speak a little louder than   15 conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire   16 , not just the first few rows.
When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to   17 your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.
You can arrange to have helpful visual aids    18 before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and   19 later.
Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to   20 the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.

本文说明的是如何让演讲更有魅力。完成本完形填空要结合日常生活中人们做演讲的实际和作者的思路结合在一起。
1. B 演讲持续了不到三分钟,这四个词中只有last(持续)后面可以接时间,继续(continued)看起来对但是没有这样的用法,广播(broadcast),走(went)就更不合适了。
2. A 你的演讲不会为人们长时间的记住,但是(but)你可以应用以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。虽然(though),和(and),因此(therefore)等等都不是表转折的意思。
3. B你可以应用(就是听从并应用:follow)以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。心理上的接受(accepting),复制(copying),记住(remembering),这些不能使句意通顺。
4. A 别使用难以发音(pronounce)的词语,因为是做演讲,所以不能是理解(understand),学会(learn),和听(listen)。
5. B 避免使用技术专业术语(terms),而不是句子(sentences),发音(pronunciations),和意思(meanings)。
6. A 在大脑(minds)中形成思维图画,而不是笔记(notes),话(words),和磁带(tapes)。
7. C 上文就说是思维(mental)图画,这儿也是,根本不是智力(intellectual),生理(physical),和视觉(visual)方面的思维。
8. C 保存必要的统计数据(statistics),上文已经提到这个,不会是信息(information),概念(terms),和单词(words)。
9. A 幽默可能是一条有效的让你的听众高兴(使……高兴:amuse)地方法,控制(control),说服(persuade),驾驶(drive),明显不符合常理。
10. D 幽默可以缓解听众的紧张(tension),而不是注意力(attention),可怕(terror),悲伤(sorrow)。
11. A 就是要确保你的幽默对于你正在对着讲(speaking)的听众是合适恰当的。是讲话,不是涉及(referring),导致(leading),和归功于(owing)。
12. B 你的演讲可能将会要么告知要么是说服(persuade)你的听众采取行动帮助福利组织等等。演讲的功能就是告知或者说服(persuade)别人,而不是帮助(help),强迫(force),和困住(trap)别人。
13. B 这样一来,你就能看清对于听众来说你看起来将会是怎样的(how),而不是什么(what),为什么(why),更不是在哪儿(where)。
14. D 感觉更舒适,就是放松(relax),而不是睡觉(sleep),休息(rest),和让别人舒适(comfort)。
15. A 确保比平常(normal)讲话的声音大一些,晚了(later),以前(previous),故意的(intentional)显得不符合语境。
16. D 这样一来就能很容易的让全体的听众(audience)听到你的演讲,而非仅仅是前几排。演讲的对象就是听众,而非演讲(speeches),男演员(actors)和朋友(friends)。
17. A 记得要放慢(slow)语速,不会是加速(speed),停止(stop),和燃烧(turn)。
18. B 你也可以安排提前或在演讲期间把相应的可视材料分发(passed out)给听众,而不是检票出去(checked out),拿出(brought out),和遗漏(left out)
19. B 这样一来听众就可以把他们记下的内容带回家去看(就是再看一遍:review),根本不会是卖了(sell),扔了(throw),或者邮寄出去(mail)。
20. A 记住去感谢(thank)请你做演讲的人,不是去找到(find),教学(teach),帮助(assist)他们。

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long?hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of l
iving and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny(保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about ittoo much or you might not do it at all.”

I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God,Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币).It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

So far,scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种),and that’s just a small number of what probably exists on Earth.With so many plants,animals,and other living things covering the planet,it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of bird just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started Web site might help.An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia(百科全书) of Life(EoL).The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single,easy-to-use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases(数据库) that already exist.And eventually,in special sections of the site,non-scientists with specialized knowledge will come to help.Bird-watchers,for example,will be able to input what birds they’ve seen and where.To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it.
As the EoL develops,you might find it useful for school projects.The site will feature(以……为特色)_____special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods.Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interests,age,and knowledge.
It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new fool will speed up that process.
小题1:The Web based EoL aims to _______.
A.find out what covers the earth
B.list all living things on Earth
C.work out the number of birds
D.save the existing plants
小题2:One characteristic of the EoL is that _______.
A.it is run by school students
B.it focuses on different types of grass
C.it provides different levels of information
D.it allows non-scientists to review its data
小题3:In the last paragraph,“that process”means _______.
A.analyzing speciesB.creating a new tool
C.collecting dataD.describing species
What kind of life do you want? And what would you do if you were born with an illness like Cystic Fibrosis (囊胞性纤维症)?Charley was such a man.He was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a serious disease of the muscles.Without properly functioning muscles, eventually you’re unable to breathe.However, Charley was fortunate to have many care- givers, including his wife who helped him a lot.He became an engineer and helped plan structures that would allow streets and buildings to give better access to the disabled.Charley couldn’t live without a wheelchair, and could only use one hand to move it.His speech was also difficult to understand.However, Charley had a sharp mind.He could see, hear, use a few fingers and think, and that was enough to allow him to make an important contribution to his city.He made those around him more aware of their physical health.
In the movie JackandJillvs.theWorld, Jill is a 25-year-old girl who has just arrived in New York City.She has Cystic Fibrosis, but she doesn’t let it control her life.She’s happy, in fact! She meets a young man, Jack, and changes his life forever.One day she has to tell him about her illness.He’s angry and disappointed, but later he realizes that it’s their relationship that matters.They decide to be together, and live as happily as possible.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals (专业人士). They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action, for nowadays there are stunt girls too!
小题1:Stuntmen are those who ______.
A.often dress up as women
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives
C.often perform seemingly (表面上) dangerous actions
D.often fight each other for their lives
小题2:Stuntmen earn their living by ______.
A.playing their dirty tricks B.selling their special skills

小题3:When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.

B.he will be covered with a mattress
C.his life is endangered
D.his safety is generally all right
小题4:Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?

C.Parachutes must be of good quality.

In order to improve relationship with others, you need to be aware of several sensible ways to complain.   1 , you need to be specific. Don’t say, “Boy, did you   2 like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting   3 and loud and telling offensive jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you   4 attention from the problem at hand. Moreover,   5 you complain, don’t add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will   6 create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really   7 you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that   8 . Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as   9 . This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.
