阅读理解。      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.
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. 1. The main idea of this article is _____. [     ]
A. you can improve your speaking ability   
B. a poor speaker can never change   
C. always make a short speech   
D. it is hard to make a speech 2. Paragraph 2 implies that _____. [     ]

and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap.
      The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are
like the pages of a book. (A) They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small
hairs.If an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The insect cannot get out. In about half
an hour, the leaf presses (挤压) the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the insect with a special
liquid (液体). Slowly, the plant eats the insect.
     (B) Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most of them get energy from
the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn"t have all the important
things that plants need, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat
to get what they need. Let"s hope that some of the bigger plants don"t get the same idea!
