19．We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life，but most of us don't do a very good job．（36）C．
So，you have to give a speech-and you are terrified．You get nervous，you forget what you want to say，you stumble over words，you talk too long，and you bore your audience．Later you think，"Thank Goodness，it's over．I'm just not good at public speaking．I hope I never have to do that again．"
Cheer up!（37）A．Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making．Ask yourself the purpose of your speech．What is the occasion？Why are you speaking？Then，gather as many facts as you can on your subject．Spend plenty of your time doing your research．Then spend plenty of our time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow．Use as many examples as possible，and use pictures，charts，and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly．（38）F．Don't talk down to them．Treat your audience with respect．They will appreciate your thoughtfulness．
Just remember：Be prepared．Know your subject，yor audience，and the occasion．Be brief．
（39）D．And be yourself．Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience．If you follow these simple steps，you will see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking．In fact，you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches!You're not convinced yet？（40）G．

18．Gallows humor（黑色幽默）seem like a mistake，or at least in poor taste．But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress．"Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not，"says James M．Jones，a psychology professor at the University of Delaware．
Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you're wasting time．Occasional teasing among colleagues，particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job，can boost creativity，departmental cohesiveness（凝聚力）and performance．
"There are a lot of stressors out there，"says Ed Dunkelblau，a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago．"But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult．"
This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose．The main point of it should be inspiring people--not laughing at them．"Anything that would lift morale（士气）in terms of the company would be good humor，"says Thierry Guedj，a professor of business and psychology at Boston University．"Before you say or do anything，think about，‘How is this helping my employees'morale？'"
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging，so don't make observations that are aggressive．Most obviously，Dr Guedj says，don't make comments about people's pysical appearance，or faith．If you have any dubt，it's appropriate，don't go through with it．
Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended（冒犯）：Yourself．"If there's going to be a joke or story，it should be you，"Mr．Dunkelblau says．For example，if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led，begin with a line like，"The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week．"
"People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too，"Mr．Jones says．"And if you can laugh at yourself，you feel better about yourself．"

17．Body language is quiet，secret and most powerful language of all．
In fact，non-verbal communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean．And body language is especially important，when we try to communicate across cultures．
Indeed，what is called body language is so much a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed．And misunderstandings happen as a result of it．For example，different cultures treat the distance between people differently．Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact，even with friends．And certainly not with strangers．People from the Latin American countries，on the other hand，touch each other quite a lot．So it's possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian （挪威人）all over the room．The Latino，trying to express friendship，will keep moving closer．The Norwegian，very probably seeing this as rude behavior，will keep backing away，which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness．
Obviously，a great deal is going on when people talk．And only a part of it is in the words themselves．And when parties are from different cultures，there's a strong possibility of misunderstanding．But whatever the situation is，the best advice is to obey the golden rule：Treat others as you would like to be treated．
