  Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 1 I last met this man eight years ago,I have not forgotten his 2        qualities. First of all,I respected his 3        to teaching. Because his lectures were always well prepared and clearly delivered,students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 4        what he taught. Further more,he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 5        way,introducing such aids (辅助) to 6        as oil paintings,music,and guest lectures. Once he 7        sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 8      ,I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 9        the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe,he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 10       a student to a game of chess (国际象棋).11      ,he would join students’ groups to discuss a variety of 12      :agriculture,diving and mathematics. Many young peo ple visited him in his office for 13        on their studies;others came to his home for the social evening. Finally,I was 14        by his lively sense of humour. He believed that no lesson is a success 15        during it the students and the professor 16        at least one loud 17        Through his sense of humour,he made learning more 18        and more lasting. If it is 19        that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry,20        my friend is indeed a wise man.

 Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter:

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.1.      The Sermon on the Mount,a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus,for example,lasted hardly more than three minutes.

  Focus on one topic. We’re human beings and tend to have lots of thoughts,opinions and ideas. You have to make the proper selection. 2.       Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint (观点).

  3.       It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable.

  Humour is vital.4.      Ronald Reagan always wanted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.

  Don’t forget to say thanks. You should always,at the beginning of the speech,thank the person who invited you and introduced you.5.      While you’re doing it,the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They’re going to daydream at some point anyway,and it may as well be before you get to the heart of your remarks.

   A. Choose your words carefully.

   B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.

   C. First you have to work out what you’re going to say.

   D. Every speech needs it,and you need it,too,probably at the beginning.

   E. Stick to one subject -the future of the soccer club,for example.

   F. This process takes time,so start once you begin thinking about the speech.

   G. The more important the message is,the less time it requires to say it.

As I pulled the bus over to 8       a little girl,she handed me an earring 9        I should keep it 10        somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.

  At first I got angry. Then it 11        me—I had been giving all of my 12        to what was going wrong with my 13      rather than what was right!I decided then to make a 14      of fifty things I was happy with. Later,I decided to 15        more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 16        from a lady who was a director at a large 17      . She asked me if I would 18       a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

  Kids’ health : four steps for fighting stress 

  Everybody gets stressed time to time.1.        Some ways of dealing with stress- like screaming or hitting someone——don’t solve (解决) much. But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

  Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed :

  (1) Get support. When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted adults,such as parents or other relatives.

2.        They might have had similar problems,such as dealing with a test,or the death of a beloved pet.

  (2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh,dear,that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you.

3.       

  (3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friencLs,it’s time to get down to business.

4.        Even if you can’t solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.

  (4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的) .Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren’t magic,but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time,you’ll help yourself feel better even faster.

5.       

   A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

   B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.

   C. Different people feel stress in different ways.

   D. Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone.

   E. You need to figure out what the problem is.

   F. And don’t forget about your friends.

   G. Then,find a way to calm down.
