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 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 a good speech.

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

E. Don’t give a try to say what you aren’t familiar with.

F. Never forget your audience.

G. Give it a try and see what happens.

"Only a few years and you'll be an adult!"It's true that in two years I'll be 18,and that will make me legally an adult.But it's also just a number.It doesn't come with a magical moment where you know all the stuff adults are supposed to know how to do.It doesn't make responsibilities easier.It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes and work at Walmart(沃尔玛).You can start being a "grown up" long before then or long after.

This thought all started hack in July when my friend,Dakota,officially flew out for military basic training in Oklahoma.He's 17.He can't rent a movie from most places,but he can defend our country.I didn't realize how much his actual departure would affect me arid the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.

Then,in September,my best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London.She's 18.She's worked ridiculously hard,and slaved over textbooks to get the perfect grades.Now,she's booking her own plane tickets,going grocery shopping,being in complete control of' her personal life.I have a basic idea of how a loan works,but applying for one?Forget it.I don't even have a credit card.My other friends are growing up around me,making decisions,that will affect the rest of their life.Where do I fit in?My life is so different from the standard,it's hard to compare.I'm home-schooled.I have been fashion blogging since I was 13,an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world.Earlier this year,I landed my first Teen Vogue feature and worked with the Disney Channel.But if you add that up,it doesn't equal adult,it equals an accomplished teenager.

I made myself a list of "Things to Learn Before I Grown Up".Number one?Figure out the whole loan thing.But it's also important to me to enjoy being young.I like having my mom cook for me,and getting to just be goofy(傻瓜的)sometimes without worry.So in conclusion,my point is this: being a grownup is less about your age,and more about what you do with your life.

The German company said 5,000 of the "Futurecraft 4D" shoes will be available at retail stores in the fall arid winter.As it is pressed for time,it still plans to start mass producing them next year and expects to have made more than 100,000 pairs by the end of 2018.The company would not disclose where the shoes will be manufactured.

Adidas cooperated with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon to create the shoe,which uses a new technology called digital light synthesis(合成).

Although the common 3D printed materials are often rigid(僵硬的),the new materials are flexible with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon's technology.

The technology works by using UV lasers to project a pattern for a midsole(鞋底夹层)liquid.It tums the liquid into a solid and the result is a flexible,but more durable midsole.

The technology could make the most of the time and money to produce the shoes in large quantities which may be loved by humans in the future.

"We can produce up to 100 times faster than 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes,"an Adidas spokesperson told CNNTech.

A new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素)given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years.Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat,milk and eggs.However,the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections(感染).Such infections are already a major public,health concern in the United States.

The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty(贫困),the first thing they want to do is eat better,rather than earn more money.For most people,that means their diet should contain more meat.With the rapid development of Asia,people there are eating nearly four times as much meat,milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago.

To meet the need,farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces.As the animals are crowded together,the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics.It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster.But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.

Nowadays,doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work.The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs.The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide.In the United States,at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.

Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth.And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.

1.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?

A. The desire for new drugs. B. The less effective antibiotics.

C. The outdated farm technology. D. The need for more various foods.

2.What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO?

A. Making a lot of money. B. Focusing more on health.

C. Having more meat in their diet. D. Living in a better environment.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Antibiotics do harm to animals.

B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy.

C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe.

D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people.

4.What's the passage mainly about?

A. A new way of raising farm animals.

B. The advantages of using antibiotics.

C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.

D. The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals.
