“If you haven't got anything interesting 1 , don't say anything 2 .” That's 3 mothers and fathers sometimes 4 their young children.It is not rather a good way 5 the children shut up.However, the Maxism may be worth remembering.
If you are 6 speaking 7 , have you 8 had to stand up in front of a crowd, knees trembling to speak? You have almost certainly been bored by one of those public speakers who can make even 9 seem endless.In our new radio series Speak Out, we examine the art of speaking in English, and take a look at the trick people use to draw and hold the attention of an audience.
The series is based on actual speeches 10 during a public speaking competition organized by the English Speaking Union.Every year the ESU invites pupils from schools all 11 Britain to choose a subject then come to London and give their 12 speeches in front of the audience.
The young speakers-all 13 their mid-teens are judged on their general ability, 14 on their originality and mastery of the subject.We have 15 some of the speeches and you will be able to listen to them in the Speak Out programs.

完形填空 :通读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在1—25各题所给的四个选项中, 选出 一个最佳答案。
When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心) about the language.

Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases; negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent copying is a help to 25 by heart.
