The  success  of  a  speech  is  often due to the  skill  of the  speaker  who  is  confident，knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively．

But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches；it is a speechwriter.    And polities is one industry in which this practise is common．．So what does it take to be a     political speechwriter? 

According to a recent job  advertisement from the  US Embassy in  Britain，a political     speechwriter needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate a deep     knowledge of their subject．They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate     to the speakers’ style．  

Some believe that the best speechwriters have a—born talent，a natural creative ability， and that speechwriting is an art.

What  about  those  of us  who _______? Can we  still produce  successful  speeches?

 In an interview with the BBC，Dr Atkinson(a communications specialist)outlined a

number of speechwriting techniques．He also explained how the．se techniques have been used     in historic speeches．

One such technique is introducing contrast(对比)．This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy：“Ask not what your country can do for you，but what you can do for your country.”   

Another technique is the use of three—part lists．Dr Atkinson explains that this can be     an excellent way of confirming a statement．Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a    fan of this technique．One of his most famous campaign Slogans(口号)was“education，    education，education”.

    A low-carbon lifestyle means cutting carbon dioxide emissions and living a life characterized by low-energy use, low consumption and low spending. This way of living is being accepted by a growing number of average people in China.

Before low-carbon became a popular word here, some environmentally conscious people known as "Lohas" had already devoted themselves to living green, low-carbon lifestyles. Lohas is for "lifestyles of health and sustainability." It was first introduced in 1998 by American sociologist Paul Ray and later became a popular lifestyle in western countries. After this concept was introduced into China a few years ago, Lohas was translated into a proper Chinese word "lehuo," meaning happy living.

  Zhang Tao from a joint venture in Beijing is a Lohas supporter and follower. He and some others set up a Lohas club two years ago. They often get together to share their experiences about living green lifestyles or to volunteer for environmental protection activities.

    Zhang says Lohas is both a lifestyle and an attitude towards life rather than just a fashion or slogan.

  "A Lohas lifestyle means a natural and healthy life with low costs. We don't drive cars, and we try our best to save water and electricity. Some people misunderstand us as being too stingy. But in fact, most of us are well-paid. We don't do it to save money, but for the sake of the environment. Living a rich life doesn't mean you can waste resources. We hope what we do can help save energy and reduce the pressures on earth. I know our personal strength is too small, but the changes will be great if everyone can make a little contribution."

   A. low energy     B. low wages     C. low consumption   D. low spending

65. A Lohas is most likely to_______.

   A. drive a car to work every day   B. save money to live a better life

   C. turn off the tap when not using   D. leave the light on day and night

66. What does the word “stingy” mean in the last paragraph?

A. generous                B. mean               C. rich                  D. willing

67. In Zhangtao’s opinion, _________.

A. Lohas is just a fashion or form     B. one shouldn’t get well paid

    I used to going to the countryside to draw animals and plants. One day I was walking across a field look for rabbits to draw. Losing in thought, I hadn’t noticed a bull to running towards me. About 100 meters ahead was a tree under that I would sit and draw. Suddenly, I heard the noise behind me. I turned and saw the bull. Knowing a bull can run more faster than a man, I quickly reached the tree and climb up. From there I saw the bull kicking my food bag by its feet. It kept done this for 15 minutes and moved away. But I was quite nervous in the tree.

My secret of staying young is simple: keeping your mind awake and you will stay young all over. Take an interest in world around you, and learn at least one old thing every day. Don’t think that you are ever very old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college in 70. He got his degree with honors and became a famous doctor. Other man went to law school at 71 and is now a active lawyer. You may say that staying young is easy only for those live in the future. In fact, you can do it whether you care enough to try to keep your mind awake and active, and which is the only way to be always young.
