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(明显的) 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(结巴) 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 a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流).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.
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
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
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
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 a Perfect Speech
D.Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

“Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another, For Example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic (蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom’ s advice passed the test of medical studies, For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care.

The richest man in the world can now also claim a degree from the college he dropped out of three decades ago. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates delivered the commencement (典礼) address at Harvard University on Thursday, and was awarded the L. L. D. honorary doctorate (博士头衔).
“Our speaker is known as the most influential entrepreneur(企业家) of the personal computer revolution. He was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2004, 2005, 2006 and again in 2007, ” said Harvard’s president, Derek Bok. Then Bok spoke more directly to Gates: “Just think what you could have achieved if you had stayed another two years.”
Gates told the students, many of whom will soon be launching into full-time careers, that work isn’t the only thing of importance.
“Judge yourself not on the professional accomplishments but on how well you have addressed the world’s inequities, how you have treated people who have nothing to do with you,” he said.
In recent months, Gates has been giving a larger part of his time and energy to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which focuses on issues including global health and education. In 2008, he plans to make the foundation his chief responsibility.
But for the most part, the Microsoft co-founder stuck to the serious message about trying to make the world a better place. He urged the graduates not to get discouraged about seemingly intractable (棘手的) challenges of poverty and poor health.

The first time that I had heard the term“EQ”was in the fall of 1995 when the book Emotional Intelligence，by Daniel Goleman，was widely covered by the American press.The widespread research presented in the book supported my own observations and doubts about life and emotions，and told me that I was on the right track to go after happiness.The research continues to confirm what I had concluded on my own: These feelings are extremely important to individual health，happiness，and social harmony.This might seem a bit obvious，but it was not always obvious to me.
I grew up in a family where we didn’t talk about feelings.We talked about ideas，concepts and principles.As a result，I could tell you what I thought about everything，but I couldn’t tell you how I felt about anything.After several failed relationships，I took time off to reflect on my life and realized I had made many decisions which resulted in unhappiness for myself and others.After studying the literature on emotions and feelings，I concluded that most of my poor decisions could be directly due to what is now called low emotional intelligence，or low EQ，for short.Previously，I struggled to find happiness through the traditional routes—material success.Now，however，I realize that：
There’s not much point having either wealth or relationships if you aren’t happy.
It is hard to be happy with others if you aren’t happy yourself.
It is hard to be happy alone if you don’t feel good about yourself，i.e.have high selfesteem and selfconfidence.
It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don’t have good emotional management skills.
Emotional management skills，the main subject of EQ，are，therefore，one of the most basic elements of happiness.
56．The author’s views and ideas about life were exactly proved by ________.
A. the widespread reports in American newspapers
B. own observations and doubts about life and emotions
C. the fact that he was on the right track to go after happiness
D. ideas and views in the book Emotional Intelligence
57．The author’s family members ________.
A. are wise and hardworking B. are wealthy and strong
C. are not good at expressing their own feelings D. get along badly with each other
58．Before reading the book，the author thought he could have happiness ________.
A. if he could earn a lot of money B. if he could avoid poor decisions
C. if he took time off to reflect on his life D. if he ignored the traditional routes
59．A person who can’t feel happy himself ________.
A. will feel happy with lots of friends B. will not get on well with others
C. has no selfesteem at all D. should read the new book on EQ
60．Loneliness most probably comes from ________.
A. lack of selfconfidence and selfesteem B. lack of the presence of others
