21、“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Wang Li, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?

One of the most important reasons is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get and so on. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.

So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you get home later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.

Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. When you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children.

22、Long long ago, There was a tree and some grass（草）. The grass grew next to the tree. The tree was very tall and the grass was short. The tree often looked down upon the grass.

23、Do you have a fear (恐惧) of public speaking? Do you ever get nervous when speaking in front of a group of people?

I remember I used to be deathly afraid of public speaking. My legs would get weak as I made my way in front of the audience. My mouth would tremble (发抖) as I would begin to say the first few words. I would avoid eye contact (避免眼神接触) unless I find someone with a smiling face, there is a way to overcome a fear of public speaking.

Understand the cause of the fear

Find out why it’s a fear in the first place. The main reason is the fear of being embarrassed (窘迫的). Most of you are afraid of being laughed at, doing anything foolish or having the audience judge (判断) you. When there are other people who might judge you or think badly of you, this causes you to get nervous.

Change your mindset (心态)

Try not to think about yourself and what the audience might think of you. Instead, think about the audience and how you can best deliver (传递) your message across. Then, you will be able to get over this fear.

Practice

It’s best to practice in front of a supporting (支持的) group of people. This will not only make public speaking easier but also help you gain confidence. The more you practice it, the easier it will get.

The way I was able to get over my fear of speaking came in two periods (时期). The first period was in high school. I entered the speech class, and all I wanted was to get passed. I didn’t care about winning. Even when I forgot what to say, I didn’t get nervous. The next period was during my job as a trainer. My job was to motivate (激励) people. So gradually, my focus went from thinking about myself to not caring about that, and finally to thinking about my audience. In the two periods, my mindset changed from the mindset of fear to the mindset of power.

So overcoming a fear of public speaking comes down to having the right mindset and practice.

【1】What can we learn about the writer from the passage?

A．He used to have a fear of public speaking.

B．He now works as a trainer in high school.

C．He still finds it hard to make a public speech.

D．He got over his fear of speaking with his parents’ help.

【2】Which of the following could be helpful to overcome a fear of public speaking?

A．Try to think about how to avoid eye contact.

B．Find out why the audience laugh at you or judge you.

C．Think more about yourself when you make a public speech.

D．Remember to practice in front of a group of supporting people.

【3】The writer wants to tell us _______.

A．how harmful a fear of public speaking is

B．what causes a fear of public speaking

C．how to overcome a fear of public speaking

D．why we should overcome a fear of public speaking
