We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. 1. In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.

How a speaker moves is important. Whole?body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.

2. But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.

With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. 3. The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.

4. When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.

5. Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.

A．So they usually have eye contact with the audience.

B．So they have trouble with eye contact.

C．An important part of public speaking is practice.

D．New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.

E．A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.

F．Improve your public speaking with body language.

G．Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job. A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proofreading and problem solving. In an office?based experiment, 88 per cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.

The study also found that 81 per cent completed their work fastest when music was played. And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you're doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.

Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs. During proofreading, dance music, such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all. Dance music also had a positive effect on spell?checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.

The research, undertaken by Brighton?based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive. The Music Works experiment revealed a positive correlation between music and productivity. Overall, it showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people performed better, said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.

1.Whose music can help you do maths homework according to the study?

A．The music of Justin Bieber.

B．The music of Mozart.

C．The music of David Guetta.

D．The music of David Lewis.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to the passage?

A．Music makes you relaxed.

B．Music helps you to enter data faster.

C．Music improves maths skills.

D．Music has a positive effect on spell?checking.

3.The result of the experiment showed that when music was played, ________.

A．88% of people worked faster

B．81% of people did their most accurate work

C．90% of people worked better

D．75% of people completed data entry task faster

4.What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Music may be helpless to people in office.

B．Silent offices can make people work better.

C．Different kinds of music have the same effect.

D．Silent offices may make people work least profitably.

Year of Giving

Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.

I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.

After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.

I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.

1.The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.

A. help the charity B. remember his mother

C. make an explosion D. fulfill a wish of his mum

2.In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.

A. he was considered ridiculous

B. he hesitated for a long time

C. he was forced to donate the money

D. he had no time to take action

3.In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.

A. he didn’t need other’s help

B. he thought more for others

C. he didn’t care about money

D. he wanted to get more money

4.We can infer that the author was inspired by ____.

A. true friendship B. his own kindness

C. generous donations D. human’s good nature

In 1985, a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida. Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. And they are continuing to move south. Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. So how did they end up in the Atlantic? Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea. Little did they know the trouble their actions would cause.

The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish. Their venomous spines (毒刺) protect them from sharks and other fish. Female lionfish can spawn (产卵) every few days, producing as many as 2 million eggs per year. Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food. But overfishing has removed many of these large fish. As a result, the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more than three times the size of their cousins in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. “They eat mostly fish,” says Stephanie Green, a scientist at Oregon State University.

All that eating has caused great changes. Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere, many other fish, which are small enough for them to eat, disappear. Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats. For example, parrotfish eat certain plants off corals (珊瑚), which allows corals to grow better. But they are now disappearing due to lionfish.

Scientists say lionfish are here to stay. But there are ways to deal with the problem. The key, says Green, is to keep lionfish numbers in check. In Florida, divers can now go through a special training program and get certified (授予合格证书) to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed. And a number of restaurants have added the fish to the menu. “It’s going to be a long-term battle, but the missing sea species will come back someday,” says Green.

1.What can we learn about lionfish?

A. Its population is growing very quickly.

B. All of them are almost the same size.

C. They eat other big fish and even sharks.

D. Most of them have gathered in the Atlantic.

2.Parrotfish were mentioned to show lionfish’s _____.

A. loneliness B. carelessness

C. weakness D. harmfulness

3.What is Stephanie Green’s attitude towards the battle against lionfish?

A. She doubts it.

B. She is hopeful of it.

C. She is worried about it.

D. She thinks it is against the law.

Last year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”

That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.

The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.

All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.

If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.

If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!

1.How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?

A. Disappointed B. Anxious

C. Curious D. Relieved

D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. We Will See What Happens

1. . Still, all flavors are based on just four basic tastes: sweet, bitter, salty, and sour. Some food experts argue there is a fifth basic taste called umami（a Japanese word that can be translated roughly as "tasty" or "savory"）, but this theory remains controversial. 2.

How can so few basic tastes give rise to the enormous number of flavors we experience? 3. Compare this to colors. There are only three basic colors—yellow, red, and blue—but when mixed in different ways and proportions, these three basic colors are sufficient to create the vast array of colors that we see every day.

Apart from being influenced by different combinations of the basic tastes, the experience of taste is also enriched by other sensations, such as odor (气味) and temperature. These functions together produce what we recognize as unique tastes. In fact, what we perceive as taste often involves smell more than the taste experienced through the tongue. 4. For example, cinnamon tastes quite mild to people who cannot enjoy its fragrant smell. The same is true of drinks, like hot coffee or tea, which taste best when they can be smelled and tasted.

5. The reason why hot, spicy foods like chili peppers are tasty is that they affect the lingual nociceptors. Nociceptors are small areas on the surface of the body that help protect us against injury. Nociceptors on the skin warn us of potential damage to the body. When we are pricked with a needle, for example, nociceptors represent that sensation as pain. A special kind of nociceptor called a lingual nociceptor is found on the tongue and, along with the other senses, helps us enjoy certain foods.

A. These are basic tastes that we are familiar with.

B. This is possible because the basic tastes combine in different proportions.

C. Each food we eat tastes different, and there are untold numbers of different tastes.

D. This is why foods with strong tastes often seem unattractive to people who, due to a stuffy nose, cannot smell them.

E. What can also contribute to the sensation of taste is our ability to feel pain.

F. So there are a small number of basic tastes that affect a big number of flavors.

G. Regardless of whether there are four or five basic tastes, the number is small.
