     It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech,
every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are
usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.
They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order
of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such
moments occur, don"t worry about them, just continue as if nothing happened.
     Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don"t really matter. If you have ever listened
to Martin Luther King"s famous speech -"I have a dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) his words
twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don"t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your
attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in
a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.
They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking
for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker"s ideas clearly
and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers" attractiveness by making him more
human.
     As you work on your speech, don"t worry about being imperfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will
find it much easier to give your speech freely.
1. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _____.
[     ]
A. be smarter than you
B. notice your mistakes
C. do better than you
D. know what you are talking about
2. You don"t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _____.
[     ]
A. your attention is on the content
B. you don"t fully understand the speech
C. you don"t know what the speaker plans to say
D. you find the way of speech-making more important
3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
[     ]
A. giving a speech is like giving a performance
B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
4. What would be the best title of the passage?
[     ]
A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker
B. How to Make a Perfect Speech
C. Don"t Expect a Perfect Speech
D. Don"t Expect Mistakes in a Speech
5. Which of the following statements is true?
[     ]
A. If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech.
B. Speech-making is a kind of performance.
C. Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message.
D. Martin Luther King is not a good speaker.

    When a friend is sad about a tragedy (悲剧), it"s hard to know how to comfort (安慰) him/ her. But the
worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could mean that you don"t care. You don"t have to say much. A
single supportive phrase doesn"t require absolutely perfect words to break the ice. Here are some conversation
starters when difficult situations have your tongue tied.
1. A friend loses his baby. 
    Don"t say:"Don"t worry. You"re so young. You"ll have another baby." Do say:" I"m so sorry. I can"t begin
to imagine what you are going through, but if you want to talk about it, call me anytime."
2. A guy deserts your friend.
    Don"t say:"I never liked that rat bastard (坏蛋) anyway!" ( If the couple winds up reconciling (和解), you
could end up losing your friend.) Do say:"Breaking up is always hard to deal with, but I"m here for you,
whatever you need."
3. A friend has a death in the family.
    Don"t say:"It"s God"s will." or "I know exactly how you feel." Do say:"I"m sorry about your loss. What can
I do to help?"
4. A friend loses a job suddenly.
    Don"t say:" Work is always boring. Those employers didn"t suit you!" Do say:" I"m sorry for that, but I
know there"s an even better job waiting for you there. Let"s think about possibilities."
5. Someone"s pet dies.
    Don"t say:"Gee! It was only a cat!" or "My roommate doesn"t like her dog and she is getting rid of her dog.
Do you want it?" Do say:"I"m sorry, she was such a great cat. How long did you have it?"

D. To do your best to make him/her cheerful again.

  Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can"t be healthy if
you"re dead."   
     Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a
mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.   
     There have been many myths (误区) about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty
years ago. The following are three of the most common.    
     Myth Number One: It"s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.   
     Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to
give you a very bad landing. And chances are you"ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door
to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people
are "thrown clear".   
     Myth Number Two: Safety-belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
     Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety
belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having
a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.   
     Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).   
     Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

B. He was running across the street.

[     ]
A. wasn"t feeling very well
B. hated to drive in the dark
C. wanted to take some exercise
D. didn"t want to be caught by the people
3. According to the text, to be"thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _____.
[     ]
A. may be knocked down by other cars.
B. may get seriously hurt thrown out of the car
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D. may get caught in the car door

[     ]

     Nowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there
is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. Regular drilling and
repetition make perfect. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (过度) is
bad. So homework should be given with the idea of giving students a practice and not to overwork them.
Jane
     What"s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just
makes them bookworms but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just
make them memorize things but not put them into use. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢)
the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. The same
trend continues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things
in an interview.
Sally
     It is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at
least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldn"t be able to
pay attention to extra-curricular (课外的) activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health.
So please give less homework to us.
Johnson 
    It is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won"t do our
work. So I have to do that though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.
1. Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to students" physical and mental health?
[     ]
A. Sunny
B. Jane
C. Sally
D. Johnson
2. Who thinks homework should helps students learn something practical?
[     ]
A. Sunny
B. Jane
C. Sally
D. Johnson
3. According to the last paragraph, why do teachers give students homework?
[     ]
A. Because they care more about students"mental health.
B. Because they find it easy to control students in this way.
C. Because they will be punished if they don"t give homework.
D. Because they want students to get interested in their studies.
4. What problem do the speakers talk about?
[     ]
A. Whether students should be punished without doing homework.
B. What kind of homework should be given to students.
C. What role homework plays in helping students to learn.
D. Whether teachers should give homework to students.
