27、How to Speak in Public
Many people have a fear of public speaking. They worry that they will lose their words,bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves. It is easy to try to avoid public speaking,but that usually doesn't work out. Everyone has to speak publicly at some point in their life. You may give a speech in a class or a meeting. Maybe you'll have to give a speech for some honor you've received. 【1】
Relax. 【2】 Your audience don't expect you to be perfect. They want you to succeed just as much as you do. If you're thinking you'll forget everything,remind yourself that you are prepared and knowledgeable. Imagine yourself doing well.
Be yourself. You are not Jack Canfield or Tony Robbins. Share your true personality with your audience,and they'll find you reliable. 【3】
Know your topic. Try to speak about the subject you know well. Research the topic to make sure that you are correct. Public speaking is easier when you don't feel like a fraud(骗子).
【4】 Choose your message for the group you are speaking to carefully. If you' re giving a public speech, then rude jokes certainly won't be suitable.
Give value. Base your speech on 2 or 3 main points. 【5】 They'll be satisfied if they leave with something they can use, and that is what public speaking is all about.
A.Know your audience.
B.Choose some serious messages.
C.Don't force yourself to be perfect.
D.Don't focus your attention on too many points.
E.Pretend to be someone that you're not, and they'll discover it.
F.Your audience will not remember every little detail you tell them.
G.Follow these steps to satisfy your audience and overcome your fear of speaking publicly.
28、When my dad was first diagnosed(诊断)with cancer and had radiation, I pushed my folks to start eating more fresh produce and preferably organics. My mom really improved her cooking from the roasted slice of pork and frozen-veggies dinners that I had fallen in love with. Dad said he had never eaten so well.
“People never change,” my dad often said but he became skilled in overall treatments and began to take well-informed control of his own course of action. I wasn’t thinking too much of his changes, but he had survived cancer for over 10 years, constantly learning, doing a bit of travel, and always looking pleasant and smiling.
My dad and I decorated a farmhouse in 2012, and I started taking care of the orchard(果园), and the garden, and learning to care for some chickens. Bringing farm-fresh food to my folks was a way I could contribute to dad’s health as well as his enjoyment of life.
The idea for this business came from what we learned about the role of food in health. My dad’s doctor told him that eating fresh produce could help resist cancer. Dad helped me set up the farm and worked till just a few days before he passed. But all of what I do here is based on experience, research, and strong values.
The goals of this farm developed as we learned, and here we have it: Produce with a purpose—fresh produce grown for disease-fighting and preventive health value, delivered with easy but delicious recipes as well as support, encouragement, overall thinking and even a bit of humor.
【1】What was the author’s favorite food in the past?
A.Organic food.
B.Fresh vegetables.
C.Barbecued meat.
D.Fast-food meal.
【2】What did the author think of his dad?
A.He was a stubborn senior.
B.He was crazy about adventures.
C.He was indifferent to his disease.
D.He was positive about challenges.
【3】What inspired the author and his dad to start the farm?
A.The pressure of his mother.
B.The suggestions of a doctor.
C.The deadly cancer of his dad.
D.The great harvest on the farm.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A farm with a purpose.
B.A dream of my family.
C.The cancer of my father.
D.The value of fresh produce.
29、 When Pope Francis recently told a reporter that he stopped watching television 25 years ago, it reminded me that several of my friends had gone TV-free as well. They had really quit TV? It seemed fairly unlikely.
And so it was. It turned out that most Americans who "cut the cord " are not getting rid of their TV sets. What they're doing, like my friends, is canceling their cable or satellite TV contracts. Not such a major move, but nice cost savings. You can still watch lots of TV programming these days on your computer or TV by subscribing to an online streaming service. Netflix is currently the most popular of those.
There is, however, a small group of the population that has adopted a true zero-tolerance policy when it comes to television. Listen to what was said about TV by none other than Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor In 2010 following his terminal cancer diagnosis, he called out TV as the enemy of productivity. "If you really want to have time back in your life," he said, "unplug you TV and put it in a closet and put a blanket over it."
My friend Laura Schiff, a former journalist, appreciates that point all too well. "Television always felt like a waste of time," she told me the other day. When her old TV failed, she decided not to replace it. "No regrets. Without TV I get a much deeper understanding of the world and what's going on around us." The amazing irony (讽刺): Schiff's late father, Arthur Schiff was the genius behind such memorable TV marketing catchphrases (广告语) as "Act now and you'll also receive...and "But wait, there's more!"
For some Americans, there is no "more". There is already too, too much 一 too much stupid programming, too much commercials for products no one needs. Most of all, “TV robs us of our precious time," as author Joshua Fields Millbum said in his book, Everything That Remains.
【1】We learn from paragraph 2 that most Americans who cut the cord ______.
A.stop watching TV completely
B.get rid of their TV sets
C.canceling their TV contracts to save money
D.still watch lots of programs through cable TV
【2】According to the passage, Netflix is probably ________ .
A.a popular online streaming service
B.a satellite TV station
C.a new brand of TV sets
D.a most popular TV program currently
【3】Why was Randy Pausch against television?
A.It was a waste of money.
B.He had little time to spare for it.
C.It was a waste of productive time.
D.He suffered from headaches because of it.
【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that some Americans _______.
A.demand changes in television
B.will never believe TV catchphrases
C.spend more time watching TV
D.will never watch TV
