As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.
After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.
1.When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___.
A. a surgeon B. an army man
C. a sailor D. a life-saver
2.At the age of 14, Sanders ___.
A. worked as a doctor by cleaning the medicine bottles
B. met some doctors who were very friendly to him
C. was interested in talking with patients
D. remained together with the doctors
3.His experience in the Army proved that ___.
A. he was good at medical operations on the wounded
B. he succeeded in teaching people how to save their lives themselves
C. a doctor was the happiest man
D. his wish of being a life-saver could hardly come true

Common public speaking problems
The use of "I feel", "I think" and "maybe"
In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like "I feel", "I guess", "I hear", "maybe" and "perhaps".
These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view.1.
Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point, 2.. Instead of the empty-sounding "I guess", using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.
Using only one speaking style
Don't stick to the same tone.3.
For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles together. Try mixing more than one style, rather than just sticking with the same one.
Irresponsible answers
Public speaking is different from personal conversations. You're responsible for your words. 4.So you should think twice before you talk. Don't be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy(盗版), started by saying he supported it.
Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it
You should focus on one point and give a clear solution. The key is to work out what question is being asked. Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?
Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion.5.
A. It can be boring. Try to mix it up.
B. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don't want to sound foolish.
C. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.
D. Deliberate gestures and affected(做作的)expressions of feelings are improper in a successful speech.
E. Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.
F. This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience.
G. Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.

Underwater Ice Hockey(曲棍球)is a new sport that began in Austria and is increasingly popular among free divers.

The world's first ever Underwater Ice Hokey World Cup was held in Weissensee,Austria and was won by a team from Finland.Because of the special conditions it's played in,fans present at the scene have to watch the underwater action on monitors.
