17.Around four years ago,I received a call from the principal of our school as to the"Parents View"talk the next morning.He asked me to speak to the group.After the call,my whole body became feverish and panicky.The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years.The whole night,I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind.One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come.Finally,I gathered some courage.I thought,"If I miss this opportunity,surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs."I reached the school in time.Before my turn came,my whole body was trembling.When my turn came and I started speaking,my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry.I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly.I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading.That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness,Public Speaking.
After my speech,I met with the principal and explained what happened to me.He told me that this happens to everyone.Even great speaker,faced the same things when they started.He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later,I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation.This time I was feeling comfortable.My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers,because I was able to get my idea across to them.They encouraged and praised my efforts.
After delivering is successfully,I became more confident.l said to myself,"If I can speak in front of such a learned audience,like the principal who educates others,I can now speak in front of others too."
I started delivering lectures in my plant,on various topics like Self Motivation,Personality Development,Personal Excellence,Spoken English and Presentation Skills.This has become a passion for me.I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.

点评 标题归纳题做题技巧
1.寻找主题句:
抓住段落或文章主题的捷径之一就是在段落或文章中寻找主题句.主题句是指能表达或概况段落主题或文章主要内容的句子,通常是一个简洁、完整、具有概况性的句子,较多出现在说明文和议论文中,而其他句子则围绕着主题句展开进行说明解释或扩展.
主题句在文中的位置:
1)开门见山:提出主题----细节支撑阐明主题
2)段末点睛:细节描述----归纳要点---概括主题
3)段中点旨:细节描述---归纳主题---进一步解释
4)无主题句:考生需根据文章中所叙述的事实或提供的线索来概括和总结文章的大意
2.捕捉关键词:
略读是概括和归纳文章或段落大意的基本方法.略读时要快,把注意力集中在关键词(即实词)上,非关键词(即虚词)则一带而过.注意出现频率高的词可能是蕴涵中心思想的关键词,分析归纳筛选出最能表达主旨或这这意图的关键词,继而确定文章的主旨大意.
3.仔细推敲选项:
干扰项的特点有:
1)"以偏概全":选项范围太窄,只表达局部信息或某一细节,片面、单一的内容应排除,注意锁定选项中的重点词.
2)"主题扩大":概括范围太宽,表达的内容超出或多于文章阐述的内容.这种选项可以反过来考虑,若以这个主题,这篇文章可以
3)"断章取义":根据某一句话或者某几句就断然指定段落的大意.
A. | What; how | B. | It; how | C. | It; that | D. | What; that |
