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. 71 .
So, you have to give a speech ─ and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! 72 . 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 your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many example as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 73 . 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, 74 . 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 will 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? 75 .
| A．It doesn’t have to be that bad. |
| B．Take several deep breaths before your speech. |
| C．This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech. |
| D．Say what you have to say and then stop. |
F．Never forget your audience.
G．Give it a try and see what happens.
答案
71．C
72. A
73. F
74. D
75. G
解析
71.根据前面make a speech和下文的内容可知，这是给演讲提出建议。
72．根据前一段所说的“I hope I never have to do that again.”这里说到了Cheer up!，是鼓励性的话，所以选A。
73．根据下面两句话的内容Don’t talk over their heads, and don"t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect，可知答案。
74．根据前面的Be brief，简洁些，所以这里选D，进一步说明。
75．根据前一句话：You’re not convinced yet?（你还没有被说服吗？），可推断出答案。

The recent success of children"s books has made the general public aware that there"s a huge market out there.
And there"s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children"s books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They"re ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn"t know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn"t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children"s books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There"s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children"s Literature
