Lost in the Post

How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin? That's where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville.___1.___

Swift’s management said it was an accident,but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures.According to the BBC reporter Jon Kelly,at the height of his fame,Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10,000 letters a week.___2.___

The dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier.The White House says it deals with 20,000 messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day.

Some celebrities don’t want letters.In 2008,Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy.___3.___ Robert Pattinson,star of the Twilight films,claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans,which takes up almost all his free time.

Many artists,however,outsource(外包) the task of opening,reading and replying.Sylvia “Spanky” Taylor,58,has run a service in California that does just that since 1987.___4.___ Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration,she says.A few ask for money.A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity’s security team and law enforcement.

The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence(通信).Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals,and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled.

___5.___ For some,this is enough,according to Lynn Zubernis,an expert at West Chester University.She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.

A. Others do attempt to get through it themselves.

B. In fact,there is no alternative to deal with the problem.

C. How could he have enough time to skim through these letters one by one?

D. Typically,correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “signature”.

E. Accordingly,the correspondence problem has been difficult for the computer to automate.

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, such 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 doesn’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 over 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 performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. 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. do better than you

C. notice your mistakes

D. know what you are talking about

2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.

A. you find the way of speech-making more important

B. you don’t fully understand the speech

C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

D. you attention is on the content

3.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

B. giving a speech is like giving a performance

C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

D. the more mistake a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker

B. How to Make a Perfect Speech

C. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

D. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech
