7．Public Speaking Training
•Get a coach
（31）E，so get help．Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses，here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you．
•Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well．Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well．（32）B，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do．
•（33）C
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts，walk away!Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about．（34）G．As far as we're concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking．Your audience can be your friends．
•You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly，good public speaking training should treat you as a special one，with your own personal habits．（35）A．Your training course should help you bring out your personality，not try to turn you into someone you're not．

A．You aren't like anybody else
B．You already do lots of things well
C．Ignore too many rules
D．Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E．Whatever the presentation，public speaking is tough
F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse．

6．Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy．It can also be full of challenges，setbacks and heartbreaks．Whatever our circumstances（境况），we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires-that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones．Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls（陷阱） that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place．
This tension（矛盾） between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling（烦人的） suffering，the anxiety we feel．This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up．But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more．The intelligence behind that knowing is us-the real us．It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities．If you drop that，you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you"．
So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns？
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time．This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges．
While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind-or the minds of those close to us-usually says we can't．That isn't a reason to stop，it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again．It has done it many times before．It's all about starting simple and doing it now．
Decide and act before overthinking．When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way．
27．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we shouldC．
A．slow down and live a simple life
B．be careful when we choose to change
C．stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D．be satisfied with what we already have
28．What is the key to breaking the old patterns？B
A．To focus on every detail．
B．To decide and take immediate action．
C．To listen to those close to us．
D．To think twice before we act．
29．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph？C
A．Escape from your punishment．
B．Realization of your dreams．
C．Freedom from your tension．
D．Reduction（减少） of your expectations．
30．What does the author intend to tell us？A
A．It's easier than we think to get what we want．
B．It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life．
C．It's impractical to change our way of thinking．
D．It's harder than we expect to follow a new course．

5．Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines，say UK researchers．
Their study found that theobromine，found in cocoa，was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine，which was considered the best cough medicine at present．
The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment．"While coughing is not necessarily harmful，it can have a major effect on the quality of life，and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem，"said Professor Peter Barnes．
Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine，codeine or placebo，a pill that contains no medicine，during the experiment．Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill．The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin，which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs．
The team found that，when the volunteers were given theobromine，the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group．When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo．
The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity （神经活动），which causes coughing．They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments，theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness．

A．cannot be as effective as codeine

B．Chocolate May Cure Coughs
C．Cough Treatment：A Hard Case
D．Theobromine Can Cause Coughs．
