This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech and you're 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 no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. 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 time doing your research. Then spend plenty of 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 will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. 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. Say what you have to say and then stop. 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'll 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. Give it a try and see what happens. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    When looking back at the scary situation that happened to him on Saturday, Patrick Canney said he couldn’t still believe that it was true. It was a situation that could have ended with a tragedy for Patrick, his father and his sister. But it didn’t really happen thanks to Patrick.
    That morning, Patrick’s father was driving down busy Interstate 95 in Peabody, Massachusetts. The car started going really slowly, which seized Patrick’s attention. And then he realized that something was wrong. At that point, Patrick found his father was having a seizure （中风）.
    “It was really scary,” he said. “It was unlike anything that had ever really happened to me.” But Patrick didn’t act scared. He took control of the situation and got behind the wheel of the SUV. He turned the key off and pulled the car over to the breakdown lane （车道）. He then stopped the SUV, grabbed a cell phone out of his dad’s pocket and called 911 for help.
    Patrick’s 9-year-old sister was in the SUV, too. He told his little sister not to worry about it. Then he opened the door and stood right next to the guard rail. Thanks to Patrick’s description of their location during the 911 call, Massachusetts State Police were able to locate the Canneys within minutes -- and get them all to safety.
    “A 12-year-old boy’s clear thinking and decisive action actually saved this family from a tragedy,” said state police spokesman David. “That’s Patrick. He is cool and collected. I couldn’t imagine what would be the result if he were panicked （惊慌失措）.”
    Patrick’s father was expected to recover fully from the seizure. And thanks to Patrick, all of the Canneys are still alive. “The word hero may be overused in our society,” said David. “But Patrick is surely that -- and then some.”
    【小题1】As soon as he found his father had a seizure, Patrick ________.

    A．told his sister not to worryB．called the police for help at once
    C．tried his best to save his fatherD．managed to take control of the car
    【小题2】The underlined word “collected” in Paragraph 5 means “_________”.
    A．confusedB．positiveC．calmD．serious
    【小题3】What did David think of Patrick?
    A．Patrick should learn from real heroes in society.
    B．Patrick was a cool boy who matched the word hero.
    C．Patrick should be rewarded for his behavior.
    D．Patrick should protect his family carefully in the future.
    【小题4】Which of the-following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
    A．A kid made every effort to survive in a car crash.
    B．A kid turned into a lifesaver after his father was ill.
    C．A kid learned how to become a hero by using his wisdom.

           Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺骗）? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included．He can give you a false picture．

           For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery （彩票）。 It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"

           This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

           He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest．

           Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents （对手） says, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true．However, an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs．

           Advertisers（广告商） will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say, "Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．" It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．

           This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
