    Around four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”

    I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.

    After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker, faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.

    Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.

    After delivering is successfully, I became more confident .l said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”

    I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.

    1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

    A. Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker

    B. Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.

    C. Principal Provides the Best Chances.

    D. Spoken English Develops in Malting Speeches.

    A. he disliked the idea of giving a lecture

    B. he had got a high fever before that

    C. he regretted accepting the invitation

    D. he feared he couldn't perform it properly

    3.What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean？

    A. Unlucky opportunities. B. Negative ideas.

    C. Curious views. D. Happy comments.

    4.What can we conclude from the passage？

    A record 6.15 million trips were made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Thursday, according to the China National Tourism Administration. That is an increase of 7 percent compared with last year’s Spring Festival. About 374,000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.

    The administration also reported growth from individual and high-end (高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities—such as those in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region—became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad for Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.

    “Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local culture and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys in hot springs,” Li Xuejing, the agency’s marketing manager, said.

    A Chinese tourist surnamed Guo, who was vacationing on an island in the Philippines, said: UI now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”

    Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation (货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.

    1.How many trips were made to foreign countries during the Golden Week of this Spring Festival holiday?

    A. 6,150,000. B. 2,500,000.

    C. 7,000,000. D. 374,000.

    2.What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi?

    A. They’re reported to have become important attractions.

    B. They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.

    C. They have the best hot spring in the world.

    D. They belong to coastal source markets.

    3.What would Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text?

    A. Go shopping for gifts.

    B. Study foreign cultures.

    C. Relax and enjoy herself.

    D. Chat with her relatives.

    4.Where does the text probably come from?

    Chopsticks

    Right now, millions of people are digging into their food with two sticks that have school the test of time as a utensil(烹调用具)for humans. But what’s so special about them? 1.Personally, I think they teach us the importance of:

    2.

    If you’re ever tried using them, you know that you can’t get what you want by just randomly stabbing at the plate. To be able to get what you want, you have to aim for it. There’s no way you can pick up everything in one go. Know what you want, and just do it. 3.

    Practice

    Using chopsticks doesn’t come naturally. You can’t learn to use them by just reading about them. 4.It is the same with the real life. You can read as much as you like about all the things you want to do, but it will just amount to dreams and theory if you don’t try actually doing it.

    Slowing Down

    5.Why? Because it allows your stomach to tell your brain you’re full before you overeat. Eating with chopsticks is a slower process, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes we need to slow down and take things one step at a time, so that we have time to think and realize that we don’t have to keep charging full speed through life.

    A. Aim

    B. Motivation

    C. What can we learn from them?

    D. You have to practice using them

    E. Those who eat too fast were less successful at losing weight

    F. Sometimes, a little bit of focus makes the difference between failure and success

    G. A common health tip is to try to eat with chopsticks when you can

    Alex Elman runs a big business --- something hard to imagine after she lost her sight in her twenties. But Elman says that losing her sight helped her focus on finding success.

    Elman’s father planted a hillside vineyard in western Massachusetts in 1981. It’s where Elman fled during the darkest period of her life. When she was 27 years old, she went blind due to complications from juvenile diabetes (幼年型糖尿病) 17 years ago. She recalled, “I hid in my home. I hid in the place, to me, that was the safest place in the world.”

    Elman is now the founder of Alex Elman Wines, a growing portfolio (股份) of organic wines from all around the world: Chianti from Italy, Torrontes from Argentina. Elman doesn’t work alone. Her assistant, a guide dog named Hanley, is something of a wine snob, and quite a beggar. Hanley travels to all of the wineries that Elman does, from South America to Europe.

    At first, Elman resisted the idea of a seeing-eye-dog. Now it’s hard to imagine her life, or her business, without him. She said. “When someone tells me something is organic and I don’t really believe it because I taste something funny on it, I’ll put it in front of his face and if he likes the wine, he’ll actually go in and sniff it. If it’s not right, he’ll turn his head away…He gets in the dirt with me. He scratches around. He makes sure that we see earthworms and butterflies. That’s how we know that the soil is actually organic, that there are no chemicals.”

    Elman told CBS News she believes the loss of her vision was a gift. She said, “It allowed me to pay attention to what I thought was important and also to be able to teach people that the broken hang nail is not a big deal, you know what I mean? Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t sweat the big stuff either.”

    1.Elman hid herself in her father’s vineyard probably because she ________.

    A. suffered from juvenile diabetes

    B. was extremely painful for her blindness

    C. would like to help her father with the work

    D. expected to recover her sight sooner or later

    2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Elman ________.

    A. has earned a large amount of money

    B. plans to operate organic wine companies

    C. has become successful with Hanley’s help

    D. has travelled around the world with Hanley

    3.Whenever Elman couldn’t judge the wine exactly, she would ________.

    A. turn to Hanley for advice

    B. have another taste in person

    C. order Hanley to head away

    D. make Hanley to drink it

    4.The underlined phrase “the broken hang nail” (in Paragraph 5) probably refers to ________.

    A. a nail which is of no use

    B. a disadvantage you have in your life

    C. a person who is hard to deal with

    D. a task that is not easy to accomplish
