Here, bad endings dont mean that they end_46_, but that the ending is actually inartistic（庸俗的）-in contrast to what came before. The first half of “David Copperfield”makes you breathless. You laugh, you cry, you think youre going to_47_, But in the last chapters of the novel, the David marries a wise woman and succeeds in life, and from then on you die of _48_ Wuthering Heights is another example. After the scalding（炽热的） passion of Catherine and Heathcliff, who _49_ about the love stories of their uninteresting children? E. M. Forster said that nearly every novels ending is adisappointment. This is because the plot requires to be_50_. Instead of stopping writing as soon as he feels confused or bored, a _51_ has to finish the story, and usually the characters go _52_ while he or she is at work.” Another _53_ is that the author just gets tired. Again and again, the last chapters are hasty and dull. “Ive worked hard enough,” the author _54_ to say. “My advance wasnt much. I already have the idea for my _55_ book. Get me out of here.” _56_,art, whether fiction or not, is a challenge to chaos（混乱）, a bumping up of something that must be _57_ again. In “War and Peace,” when the excitable young heroine _58_ and has kids and gets fat, young readers may be disappointed, but I think that adults may be _59_.The stone fell in the water.

As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water. As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airlines fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica!

Three hundred people who were employed in jobs that require an advanced level of public speaking skills were interviewed. The participants included politicians, professors and motivational speakers. The results of the study showed that 77% of the participants reported having parents that encouraged them to ask questions and state their opinions from a young age. Eighty-five percent answered that their parents had repeatedly exposed them to a variety of positive “public speaking” experiences at home. These experiences included practicing speeches, performing dramas and reciting poems. In another study to determine the causes of fear of public speaking, 70% of the participants said they had not had any public speaking opportunities at home. Eighteen percent of the participants had been given such opportunities, but these had resulted in a loss of confidence. One of the participants recalled a painful experience from when he was eight years old. His parents had arranged for him to present his school project about earthquakes to his cousins. As an outgoing boy, he was eager to show off all his hard work, until he forgot a sentence and started to stutter (结巴). His cousins began to laugh at him, and instead of his family encouraging him to continue with his presentation, his father told him to call it a day. The stress of this incident and the feeling of being rejected carried over to school, where he started struggling with his words and went red like a sunset every time he had to speak in front of an audience. From these studies, we can see that the way parents handle their childs communication efforts and a childs future attitude towards public speaking can be linked. Not all people are born afraid of public speaking, but rather they grow to be afraid of it due to awful experiences or outside influences. Yet this does not mean they have no control over their fearbecause they do.41. According to the study of 2008, _ were important in making successful public speakers.

Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How much exposure to public speaking is proper?B. What kinds of jobs require public speaking skills?C. Is public speaking important for children?D. Are people born afraid of public speaking? 44. The paragraph following the last might be about _.A. more experiences of unsuccessful public speaking B. ways to gain self-confidence in public speakingC. other reasons for failure in public speakingD. features of successful public speaking67【答案】：C 【解析】：第一段第五行，来自父母的鼓励68【答案】：A【解析】：根据句子意思，停止演讲69【答案】：D 【解析】：结合文章全意70【答案】：B 【解析】：根据文章，后文讲到的是获得自信的方法 Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.
