Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
In order to present the best presentation and eliminate room for error, you need to keep in mind certain guidelines. Here"s are some of my ideas for presenting quality presentation that demand genuine attention from your listeners.
Picking out a topic is the hard part, when it comes to choosing from a list of presentation subjects. It has to be interesting, impactful and unique, therefore it is crucial to choose something you care about rather than randomly selecting one. Ask yourself if it covers angles －is it informative? Will it keep my listeners hooked? Will it create an air of boredom? Will I be able to get all my facts and research done? Is it appealing to me, but not to them?
There"s nothing more annoying than have someone blabber on about a topic he/she hasn"t done extensive research on. It is obvious from the way they speak, how monotonous their tones sound and how robotic their movement and gestures are. So don"t be that someone. Take the effort to learn as much as you can. Make it matter to you, and remember how it can impact your listeners, and enlighten them on things they didn"t know about at all.
No one is perfect, and there are bound to be mistakes or circumstances that you didn’t count on and couldn’t avoid. You could stutter with a word, mix up slides, or forget some important sheets of your presentation and so on. Straighten up. Crack a minor joke in your defense. In other words improvise and don"t beat yourself up about it or else your presentation will end in disaster. Don"t let it ruin the rest of it, and finish the presentation as planned, so that people think more of how well it ended.
The best thing about presenting a topic is eye contact. If you are able to say it by heart, and not by looking at a piece of paper, you will have mastered the most effective presentation technique. Memorize your lines, and points, and only glance at your notes occasionally if you think you may forget something. In the end, if you think that you are well prepared to answer questions, then by all means invite them. |

It’s difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. 36 enough blood, the brain can live only three to five minutes. Usually doctors can’t fix the hurt 37 such a short time.
Dr Robert White thinks he knows a 38 of help. He thinks doctors should make the hurt brain 39 to live for 30 minutes without blood. This gives the doctor 40 time to do something for the brain. Dr White experimented his 41 on fifteen monkeys. 42 he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go 43 a machine. When the brains’ 44 was 10℃, he stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes, he turned the blood back on. He 45 the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were almost 46 before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the job the doctor 47 them.
Dr White’s idea works well on monkeys. He thinks it will work on 48 . He think it will help with heart problems. A person 49 die when his heart stops; doctors can 50 it again. The problem comes: when the brain is without blood for about 5 minutes, it 51 . If doctors start the heart again after 5 minutes, the person has 52 body but a dead brain. Maybe in the future, doctors will 53 Dr White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops the doctor will 54 cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no 55 the brain.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!” That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see.
小题1: By touching things,________.| A．you will have a strange feeling | | B．you will learn how to reach out your hand | | C．you can tell the difference of the things | | D．you can tell what colors they are |
小题2: When people buy things in shops, they often_________.| A．try them on first | B．keep their right hands on them | | C．ask about them | D．feel and touch them |
小题3:Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?” Because__________.| A．the things are used by people, too | B．people feel the things too often | | C．people know how to use the things | D．the things are hard to feel |
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of the story?| A．Touching by Feeling | B．To See or to Feel? | | C．To See Better---Feel | D．Ways of Feeling |

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性） as a whole. And it has influenced（影响） us to be more mindful（注意的，留神的）of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
小题1:Why was the bike so important to the couple? | A．They used it for work and daily life. | | B．It was their only possession. | | C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed. | | D．The man"s job was bike racing. |
小题2:What does the underlined phrase mean?| A．go very far to see someone | | B．walk out on foot to greet someone | | C．help someone with one’s best | | D．enjoy the moment with someone |
小题3:We can infer from the text that ________. | A．the couple worked 60 hours a week | | B．people were busy before Christmas | | C．the stranger brought over the bike | | D．life was hard for the young family |
小题4:How did people get to know the couple"s problem? | A．From a stranger. | | B．From a newspaper. | C．From TV  news. | | D．From radio broadcasts. |
小题5:What do the couple learn from their experience? | A．Strangers are usually of little help. | | B．One should take care of their bike. | | C．News reports make people famous. | | D．An act of kindness can mean a lot. |

The easy way out isn"t always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu(菜谱) which included homemade bread . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozens would be better , so I doubled（加倍）everything . As Doug loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn"t have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to eat Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and l ooked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing .It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the "living thing” was and why it was there . I don"t know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing － Doug or me.
