It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that 1 less than three minutes.
Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered, 2 you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by 3 these simple tips:
Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to 4 . Avoid technical 5 or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.
Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their 6 of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a 7 picture so they can better understand your words.
Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary 8 in your speech to a minimum amount.
Humor can be an effective way to 9 your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen 10 , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are 11 to.
Your speech will probably either inform or 12 your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.
Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see 13 you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you 14 and feel more comfortable.
Make sure to speak a little louder than 15 conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire 16 , not just the first few rows.
When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to 17 your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.
You can arrange to have helpful visual aids 18 before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and 19 later.
Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to 20 the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.

查看习题详情和答案>>It says every scientist cherishes a childhood dream indicating his or her future success, but for Yuan
Longping, dubbed (授予称号) as "father of hybrid rice", the dream is that he cultivates rice as plump as peanuts, and farmers can relax in the cool shadow of big rice plants.
Yuan,71,won a 5 million yuan State Supreme Science and Technology Award today, known as the Nobel
Prize in China, for his outstanding achievements in breeding high yield-Hybrid rice, which has substantially
increased China's grain output.
Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s.Since then,50
percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to
the country's grain output.
Furrows (皱纹) grown on his sunburnt face, a slim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse
foreign reporters who came to interview the most famous scientist in China, who would rather be called "a
farmer". Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in
paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.
The urbanite-turned-farmer graduated from Southwest Agriculture College in 1953 has his name related to
the world's most advanced agricultural technology. Four minor planets, a listed seed company's and a science
college in China were named after him, which were the first time that a Chinese scientist's name is valued for its intellectual assets.
By lending his name to the Longping High-tech, a seed company, Yuan obtained a 5 per cent stake, or 2.5
million shares worth 2 million yuan, in the firm. However, Yuan said his research requires the lifestyle of a
farmer, or rather a migrating farmer, as he has conducted extensive research related to the cultivation of new
strains of hybrid rice"Super Hybrid Rice" in some 10 provinces.
In the year 1999,more than 300 billion kilograms of grain were increased from about 240 million hectares
(公顷) of hybrid rice, which signified the success of his research. And this made Yuan firmly believe that
China can surely feed her 1.2 billion population with her limited cultivated land.
The "Super Rice" yields are 30 percent higher than those of common rice. The record yield of 17 055
kilograms per hectare was registered in Yongsheng County in Yunnan in 1999.But even after that achievement
Yuan won't take a break. He has a dream, more realistic than that of his young age, that popularizing new
strains of grain with higher yields around the world, can eliminate starvation on earth.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has vowed to get involved in the work of spreading the
coverage of Yuan's high-yield hybrid rice, which it considers the best way to increase the world's grain output.
The FAO's 1991 statistics show that 20 percent of the world's rice output was yielded from 10 percent of
the world's rice fields, which grow hybrid rice."If the new strain was sown in the rest of the rice acreage, the
present grain output around the world can be more than doubled. This can be a solution to the grain shortage,"
the unselfish scientist.
In 1980,Yuan went to the United States at the invitation of the International Rice Research Institute to share
his knowledge about the cultivation technology of hybrid rice. He was also employed in 1991 as the chief
consultant of FAO to bring his research methods to other countries. With the help of Chinese scientists, the
acreage (面积) of hybrid rice in Viet Nam and India increased to 200 000 hectares and 150 000 hectares in
1999, respectively.
The rice research costs time to prove its value. At the age of 43,Yuan cultivated the world's first hybrid
rice. At that time the country's grain yield was about 4500 kilogram per hectare."The natural disaster and policy miscarriage further deteriorated starvation in China by then," Yuan recalled tearfully.
This is his motivation to stimulate his research. Largely due to his scientific progress, China's total rice
output rose from 5.69 billion tons in 1950 to 19.47 billion tons last year. The growth rate of rice output far
exceeded the population growth speed.
Some people estimate Yuan's actual fortune might amount to more than 100 million ?yuan? (12 million
U.S.dollars),making him one of the richest people in China. But he doesn't know for sure himself, for he seems
not to care about his own assets than the rice harvest. Some people asked him to move the focus of his
research from improving amounts of hybrid rice to the quality and taste, which would be easier to do. But, the
stubborn academician (学者) insisted that the amount of hybrid rice's per unit yield still outweighs the quality,
for his foremost task is to improve the grain reserve in developing countries.

Joy in the journey
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to . “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the !” one of the brothers volunteered .
The older boys began to , telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was . After a long silence, one of the picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He the lid and showed the wonderful to the scoffing（嘲笑的）visitors. Then he said quietly and , “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found the way!”
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is a goal is for — to cause us to move in the we have chosen, in other words, to keep us ! But not every goal will be fully . Not every job will end . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be . But when you fall of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging life is lived. And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly .
