    根据短文内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1.

    So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

    Cheer up! 2.Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

    Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 4. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches ! You’re not convinced yet? 5.

    A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.

    B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.

    C. This article gives some advice on how to give good speech.

    D. Say what you have to say and then stop.

    E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.

    F. Never forget your audience.

    G. Give it a try and see what happens.

    Homework and stress are rarely reduced inside the classroom．Meanwhile，outside the classroom，the pressure is on to find scholarships for college．

    According to Braintrack，a higher education database with worldwide reach，more than 3 billion US dollars (18 billion yuan) in private scholarships are awarded to college students annually．Average awards range from $2,000 to $3,000．

    The scholarship application process is similar to the college application process: forms to be completed，test scores and transcripts to be sent，essays to be written and often interviews to be prepared for．

    A few great places to start looking for scholarships are: www．fastweb．com，www．finaid．org and www．collegexpress．com．Check out the annual scholarship guidebooks Scholarships，Grants & Prizes by Peterson’s and the Ultimate Scholarship Book: Billions of Dollars in Scholarships，Grants and Prizes by Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe．

    Be selective．Thoroughly research the qualifications required by each of the scholarships．Don’t waste your time applying for those that are need based if you can’t produce the appropriate documents．

    Research past recipients (接受者)．Check out the websites of the organizations sponsoring the scholarships．Many post the biographies of past recipients．You don’t need to have cured cancer，but if you don’t think your résumé (履历) measures up to the past winners’，you might be better served by moving onto the next scholarship on your list．Prepare for the interview．

    You’ll want to dazzle them with your personality，but above all you’ll want to be prepared．Find someone you trust to conduct a similar interview with you – someone who will be honest with you and provide valuable suggestions．

    Let your personality shine through in your essays．The essays are the best way for students to share who they are，where they’ve come from，what they’ve overcome and so on．Tell your story in an interesting and persuasive way．And if you do have an interview，send a thank you note afterward．

    Comfort zone is the mental place surrounded by borders in our mind where we feel secure.Even though this comfort area and its boundaries are just a state of mind that has nothing to do with reality，it plays a huge role in the progress of our development.Since the comfort zone is limited，there is not much benefit for you inside your comfort zone.Nothing new will happen until you open yourself and leave your comfort zone.

    Even though your background may be affecting your present situation，what really matters is not where you were born，your skin color，race，age，gender，religion，government，or even the poor environment in which you have been living for so many years，but what really matters and makes a big difference in your life is your attitude，to understand your comfort zone，how you limit yourself within it，who you are，why you behave the way you do it，and mainly where you are going.

    Sadly many people don’t go anywhere because they stay within their comfort zone.They accept defeat after defeat before even trying or knowing how capable or valuable they really are.These circumstances are not the cause of our actual situation but the conformism (因循守旧) and the poverty of our thoughts and therefore the weakness of our broken spirit. Leave your past behind；constantly transcend (超越) your comfort zone！Your past within this comfort zone is nothing but a wasted load that you don’t need to carry at all.

    Take constant action as many times as it is required and never，never quit. As Napoleon Hill said，“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Defeat is never a failure；no circumstance ever is failure until it is accepted by the individual as a failure.” Nothing is impossible for an optimist attitude；everything is possible when we start blindly trusting ourselves，when we have a burning desire to succeed and a blind determination to make our dreams come true；everything is possible when we don’t take a no for an answer.

    1. What is comfort zone according to the passage?

    A．A place in our realistic life where we obtain comfort.

    B．A mental place in our mind where we stick to our beliefs.

    C．A limited place in our mind where we feel safe.

    D．A secret place in our mind where we communicate with ourselves.

    2. The author believes staying in our comfort zone can________.

    A．prevent us from being aware of the reality

    B．protect us from the cruel reality

    C．push our development in life

    D．stop us making progress in life

    3. Napoleon Hill is quoted in the last paragraph to show that________.

    A．one should not quit in order to succeed

    B．a successful person can’t leave his comfort zone

    C．there is a great difference between defeat and failure

    D．it is important to take constant actions

    4.The writing style of this passage can be described as________.

    A．defensive B．persuasive

    C．subjective D．supportive

    You know eating fruit and vegetables does good. But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.

    Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察）to others—and was seen as appealing.

    A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)—which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour—and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.

    1.What do we know from the research?

    A. If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.

    B. People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.

    C. Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.

    D. The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.

    2.Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids？

    A. They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.

    B. They can prevent heart disease and cancer.

    C. They can keep you in good health.

    D. They can prevent age-related diseases.

    34. 3.Which of the statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

    A. We've already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.

    B. We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.

    C. The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.

    D. Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect

    4.Which can be the best title of the passage?

    A. Eating fruit and vegetables does good.

    B. Eating fruit and vegetables makes you look good.

    C. How to become attractive？

    D. Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids.

    In life people make many decisions, some of what are so important that they affect us greatly.

    My latest decision is made when I entered Senior 3 in Miss Zhang's class. Since I was not good in English, Miss Zhang asked me to listen attentive in class and put down some important notes.
