W: So, Eric, how is life in Greenland these days?

M: Oh, you know. Winters are long. I live on the coast, though, so I get to see the ocean every day. That’s always nice.

W: I heard that winters in Greenland are somewhat shorter than they used to be — global warming, I guess?

M: Yes, that’s true. They’re calling it “the greening of Greenland”.

W: The “greening”? What does that mean?

M: Well, the average temperature in Greenland is rising twice as fast as in other places. So, now I have a few trees near my house. Trees didn’t use to exist in Greenland, you know! And we, um, people are growing some vegetables now — cabbage, potatoes, and things like that. And farmers can grow more grass for their animals.

【题目】阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.

Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.

Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.

Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”

“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence.

Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it.

“The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.

This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.

As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.

Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.

【题目】 No matter what field you are in, there will likely come a time when you have to give a powerful speech to friends, colleagues, or even complete strangers. 1 However, being able to give great speeches is often a necessity for those looking to achieve success. Here are a few tips to help you make the entire process easier.

1. Get in the Right Mindset

Visualize yourself before your speech succeeding to help calm your nerves. 2 And you should remember that people want to see you succeed, they don't want to see you fail. If you get in the right mindset, you will find the rest comes much easier than you may imagine.

2. 3

Make sure that you focus on the point of your speech and the message that you are trying to get across. Don't worry about focusing on the fact that you are giving the speech or any of the props or visual aids that you may have. If you get nervous or stutter during your speech, don't apologize and just fix your attention on your speech.

3. Do Your Research

When it comes to preparing for your speech, it is not only important that you research the topic but that you research your audience as well. Know who you are speaking to. Also if you are able to greet some of the audience members and speak with them before hand, this is a great way to break the ice and feel more comfortable while speaking. 4 Make sure you also research the room. Arrive early so you feel comfortable in the room, and practice with the microphone or any equipment you will be using.

4. Practice

It may seem like a simple and rather obvious tip, but unfortunately, adequate practice is something that many people today avoid when it comes to speaking in public . 5, but it means practicing out loudstanding up in a similar position while giving your speech. Make sure that you practice in front of both the mirror and the audience.

A.Focus on the Point

B.Develop a Strong Message

C.Make sure you take several deep breaths before giving your speech

D.Practicing does not just mean reading the speech over and over again

E.Thus you won't feel as though you are speaking to a room of strangers

F.You may feel stiff, tight or uncomfortable when you are about to speak

G.There are many people struggling with the process of writing and delivering speeches
