Use More Facial ExpressionOne psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. In fact, more than 50 percent of anothers impression, he believes, is influenced by the look on your face. Naturally a smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. An unfriendly look often brings the same thing in return. People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea or the audience through your facial expression. 2. Rid Your Inner FearIts natural to have some tension or nervousness when you appear before an audience. The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. There are only a few known ways to control fear. The first is to admit it, do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths, this will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control. In fact, if youre thoroughly prepared, just taking a few deep breaths before youre introduced will give you added confidence and balance. Other known ways to control nervousness and fear are to give yourself an encouraging talk or take some physical exercise. 3. Polish Your VoiceOur voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people, were all sound sensitive. So invest in a tape recorder, practise your speech by speaking it into the microphone then listen to it. You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Remember that Demosthenes and Winston Churchill both used pebbles in their mouths while practising their speaking. Simply reading out loud can also help you improve your voice and develop a personal style. 4. Strengthen Your MemoryPsychologists tell us that most individuals dont use above ten percent of their natural capacity for memory, thats comparable to trying to run a car on one cylinder(汽缸). Why do most people use so little of their power of memory? Because they dont practise the fundamentals of remembering. First and most important, its necessary to have a burning desire to remember, its difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. Step number two is concentration. Henry Ward Beecher once observed, one hour of intense concentration can accomplish more than years of dreaming. The next principle is repetition, we learned many things in school by rote by repetition, when you hear a name for the first time repeat it, spell it, write it down, review it, youll soon know it by heart. 41. To make a good impression on others, you should pay special attention to your _. A. voice B. gestures C. facial expression D. words 42. Which of the ways to rid yourself of your inner fear is NOT included in the passage? A. take a deep breath B. take some physical exercise C. keep your voice under control D. encourage yourself 43. You can improve our voice by _. A. listening to the tape B. imitating others C. keeping pebbles in your mouth D. reading out loud 44. According to the article, which of the following is true? A. We can strengthen our memory by practising.B. We can remember things longer if we do not try to remember them on purpose. C. Henry Ward Beacher believes that repetition is the key to long memory. D. We can only remember names sooner by repeating them. B. Many educators recommend that parents find a quiet place for children to do homework away from the noise and distractions of family activities(Strother, 1984). Certainly, children will seek the help of parents with the spelling of a word, a difficult math problem, or confusing directions and teachers will occasionally assign projects that require the assistance of parents. Most parents will also assume responsibility for monitoring childrens homework. But, it is often understood that homework is the childs responsibility, not the parents (Keith, 1986).The parents I interviewed indicated that, for their children, homework was rarely an independent activity. Diane Riggs, for example, continually referred to her sons homework in our interview as “our homework“ - and so it was for most of the parents I interviewed. In these families, homework was a collaborative activity involving children and parents. There were differences in the level of support children required and the kind of assistance parents were capable of providing, but, if homework made significant demands on the time of students who struggled in school, it made similar demands on their parents. Carol Dumay strongly regretted the fact that when her daughter Georgina was in first and second grade she wasnt able to do her homework independently. “Homework was a problem. I had to sit right there with her. I couldnt leave her on her own . . . cause she didnt work independently. She always wanted you there, to help her.“Betty Blake indicated that her son Timmy required a high level of support with math problems. “I understand that I have to help with homework,“ she told me, “but the depth in which I have to help him with his homework is what frustrates me. Like, I dont understand how 金太阳新课标资源网 第 5 页 共 15 页 金太阳新课标资源网 come he is not picking this up at school. He should be able to just come home and do the work.“ But, since Timmy could not “just come home and do the work,“ his homework was also his mothers homework.Many parents of elementary school children, like Carol Dumay and Betty Blake, told me that their children needed constant support while they did homework, but even parents of older students indicated that their daughters and sons often insisted that a parent sit with them while they did homework. Edna Bunker spoke of her thirteen-year-old son Mikes need for her to “be there“ while he did his homework:Mike wants someone to sit one-on-one with him while he does his homework. And so Ill do that for a while. But I get frustrated too because it goes on and on and on. Its not like he can just sit there and get the stuff done quickly. It goes on and on . . . and so its frustrating.The parents I interviewed spend considerable time and emotional energy getting children to complete homework assignments. But, feeling the pressure for their children to do well at school, parents frequently took on roles that went beyond either monitoring homework or helping children with homework assignments.45. The following people have something in common except _. A. Edna B. Keith C. Diane D. Betty 46. We can learn from the passage what Betty Blake really complained was that _. A. her son always had more homework than he could finishB. her sons homework was too difficult for a primary school student C. her son simply wanted her to sit with him every day D. what her son learned at school seemed not enough for his homework47. The author included Mikes case in the passage to indicate that _. A. younger children need constant support. B. even older children fail to work at their homework independently C. boy students are relatively more independent than girl students D. It is important to form a good habit at an early age. 48. Which of the following is the author likely to agree with? A. Parents should stay away from their childrens homework. B. Students homework is becoming too demanding. C. Parents should monitor and help with their childrens homework. D. With the help of parents, children can do well at school. 49. The passage is probably part of a research essay on _. A. parents involvement in their childrens homeworkB. childrens ability to accomplish their homework C. the role of homework in childrens development D. how parents can help their children with their homework C. What Would Happen If Every Element On The Periodic Table Came Into Contact Simultaneously?There are two ways to go about testing this, neither of which are practical. One requires the energy of dozens of Large Hadron Colliders(强子对撞机). The other could produce a large pot of flaming plutonium(钚) . Both, however, would probably create carbon monoxide and a pile of rust and salts rather than a cool Frankenstein element.If you throw single atoms of each element into a box, they wont form a super-molecule containing one of everything, explains Mark Tuckerman, a theoretical chemist at New York University. Atoms consist of a nucleus of neutrons and protons with a set number of electrons circulating around them. Molecules form when atoms electron orbitals extend over each other and effectively hold the atoms together. What you get when you mix all your atoms, Tuckerman says, will be influenced by whats close to what.Oxygen, for example, is very reactive, and if it is closest to hydrogen, it will make hydroxide. If it is nearest to carbon, it will make carbon monoxide. “That random reactive nature applies to pretty much all elements,” Tuckerman says. “You could run this experiment 100 times and get 100 different combinations.” Certain elements, such as the noble gases(惰性气体), wouldnt react with anything, so youd be left with those and a few commonly found two- and three-atom molecules.Ramming(锤击) the atoms together at 99.999 percent the speed of light-the top speed of particles in the Large Hadron Collider, at the CERN particle physics lab near Geneva-might mix a few nuclei together, but it wont make that cool Frankenstein element. More likely, they would meld into a quark-gluon plasma(夸克胶子浆), the theoretical matter that existed right after the universe formed. “But they would last for a fraction of a second before degrading,” Tuckerman says. “Plus, youd need 118 LHCs-one to accelerate each element-to get it done.”The other approach, as explained by John Stanton, the director of the Institute for Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Texas, would be to throw a powdered piece of each element or a puff of each gas into a sealed container and see what happens. No one has ever tried this experiment either, but heres how Stanton thinks things would play out: “The oxygen gas would react with lithium(锂 ) or sodium(钠) and start to burn, raising the temperature in the container to the point that all hell would break loose. Powdered graphite(石墨) carbon would start to burn, too. There are roughly 25 radioactive elements, and they would make your flaming stew a little dangerous. Flaming plutonium is a very bad thing. Breathing in airborne radioactive material can cause rapid death.”Once things calmed down, Stanton says, the result would be as boring as the atoms-only scenario. Carbon and oxygen would produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen gas is very stable, and would remain as is. The noble gases wouldnt react, nor would a few of the metals, like gold and platinum, which are mostly found in their pure forms. The things that do react will form rust and salts. “Thermodynamics(热力学) wins again,” he says. “Things will always achieve balance, and in this case thats a mix of common, stable compounds.”50. According to the article, we can learn that if we put all the elements on the periodic table into one container, we should _. A. get a new super element B. create something unique C. give life to lifeless things, just like Frankenstein. D. expect nothing unusual. 51. According to Mark Tuckerman, if we throw single atoms of each element into a box, 金太阳新课标资源网 第 7 页 共 15 页 金太阳新课标资源网 _. A. in theory they will form a super-moleculeB. we will get some molecules randomly C. we will get a matter that existed when the universe formed D. the experiment can only be done at the CERN particle physics lab near Geneva52. From the third paragraph, we can learn that _. A. all elements are r
