Great speakers are not born but made. You too can become a good orator by taking up the public speaking courses. Those who are incapable of speaking in front of the public can’ t come up in their life. The art of public speaking must be practiced by everybody who wants to reach great heights in their career. A lot of public speaking courses are available on the Internet. Choosing the best course that is right for you may be difficult but not impossible.
The basic motive of public speaking courses should be to train you to become a public speaker and improve your skills of delivering a public speech. The course should first educate you with the principles of public speaking and tell you how to overcome stress and anxiety. By overcoming fear, you will be able to deliver your presentation clearly to your audience.
A speaker can have a great influence on the audience with his body language and your public speaking course should tell you the gestures on stage that can attract the audience. Non-verbal communication also has a major role to play in delivering a speech effectively to a group. Though body language is important, the content and the natural use of words are what the audience are closely caring about. Public speaking courses should give tips in using the right words at the right time.
Even though you have prepared well, the real success of public speaking lies in the way your speech is delivered. Public speaking courses will train you to present the contents in a lively manner impressing the audience. Your presentation should be professional and stylish. You can add humor or interactive sessions (互动环节) to your presentation to gain the audience attraction.

It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods．
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull．Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him．But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim．For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull．
Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced．Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me．In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning．“I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom．
“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out．On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly．Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back．Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still．
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”．And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad．She’s been one of my best friends over the years．
1.What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?

D．His mother failed to ask permission for him．
3.What does the author think of Elsie in the end?
A．Aggressive．
B．Unkind．
C．Bad-tempered．
D．Friendly．
4.What’s the passage mainly about?

Orcas, or killer whales, are the largest of the dolphins and one of the world’s most powerful animals feeding on meat. They feast on marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and even whales, employing teeth that can be four inches (ten centimeters) long. They are known to grab seals right off the ice. They also eat fish, squid (鱿鱼), and seabirds.
Though they often frequent cold, coastal waters, orcas can be found from the polar regions to the Equator (赤道).
Killer whales hunt in deadly groups, family groups of up to 40 individuals. There appear to be both permanent and temporary group populations of killer whales. These different groups may hunt different animals and use different techniques to catch them. Permanent groups tend to prefer fish, while temporary groups target marine mammals. All groups use effective, cooperative hunting techniques that some are similar to the behavior of wolf packs.
Whales make a wide variety of communicative sounds, and each group has various noises that its members will recognize even at a distance. They use echolocation (回波定位) to communicate and hunt, making sounds that travel underwater until they meet objects, then reflect back, showing their location, size, and shape.
Killer whales are protective of their young, and other adolescent females often assist the mother in caring for them. Mothers give birth every three to ten years, after a 17-month pregnancy.
Killer whales are immediately recognizable by their special black-and-white coloring and are the intelligent, trainable stars of many aquarium shows. Killer whales have never been widely hunted by humans.
1. Killer Whales do not feed on ______.
A. seabirds B. seals C. fishes D. seaweeds
2.【The following aspects about killers whales are mentioned except ______.
A. hunting B. communication C. weight D. habitats
3.We can conclude that ______.
A. people can find killer whales everywhere around the world
B. killer whales live in different groups and never live alone
C. by making sounds killer whales hunt and communicate
D. humans’ hunt has made killer whales being endangered
4.Killer Whale are often seen in some aquarium shows because ______.

B. they have special body colors
