It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. __71__ Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. 72 If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
73 If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech--- “I have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. 74 Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. 75 They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
A.They only figure out what you are trying to say.
B.Most likely, however, you don’t remember.
C.But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer.
D.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter.
E.Quite often, however, you just laugh his small mistakes off.
F.Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners.
G.They hear only what the speaker does say.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. 71
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. 72 Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money.
73 If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. 74
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. 75 They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
A.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. |
B.The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. |
C.They are not less likely to make mistakes. |
D.Some children get a weekly allowance. |
E. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
F. Their parents will teach them a hard lesson.
G. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.
