You might say that Barack Obama was elected President of the US because he knows how to give a good speech. In 2004, the little-known Obama gave a speech at the Democratic national Convention(民主党全国会议). It was a great speech---poetic, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time. Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express difficult ideas in a straightforward, natural way. Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer---his two memoirs have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker. As a lawyer, Obama learned how to make strong, convincing arguments. As a professor, he learned how to explain complex subjects in ways that helped students understand without boring them. As a writer, he learned how to use language to have a powerful influence on his audience. Secret weapons of Obama Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times. Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently making fun of his guests. His opening lines attract the audiences’ attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other. Making fun of himself: Obama laughs at his past mistakes and is never afraid of showing them to the public. Obama delivers speeches to audiences large and small. He can make his audiences laugh or cry. His speeches are always thoughtful, well written, and just right for each occasion. 小题1:..

I used to watch her from my kitchen window.She seemed so small as she struggled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground.The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball.I watched in wonder as she ran circles a- round the other kids.She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. One day I asked her why she practiced so much.Without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want to go to college.The only way I can go is to get a scholarship to save money for our family.I am going to play college basketball.I want to be the best.My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count." Well, I had to give it to her ?she was determined.I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.Every week, she led her school team to victory. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms.I walked up and sat down in the cool grass beside her.Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply, "I am just too short." The coach told her that she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team ?much less offered a scholarship —so she should stop dreaming about college.She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.I asked her if she had talked to Father about it yet.She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.They just did not understand the power of a dream.He told her that if she truly wanted a scholar-ship, nothing could stop her except one thing —her own attitude. The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and joined the college team.She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of. 小题1:.

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you 36 find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played 37 so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses. One evening, Brownie’s family 38 that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no 39 .Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and, despite their 40 to find him, by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty 41 at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored(不理睬)the 42 little neighbor dog. Finally, one morning Spotty 43 to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 44 me! It’s urgent!” Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a 45 spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie 46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement 47 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable. Spotty had done more than simply 48 Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the 49 dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later 50 as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that 516 ! Spotty had been visiting Brownie 52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him 53 and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up. Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two 54 watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戏) 55 chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.
