He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programe.I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasnt even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers, faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering it successfully, I became more confident .l said to myself, If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me.

It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this. But with any luck , we can solve the problem in two shakes of a lambs tail. In other words, we could have our answers quickly and easily. Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is , we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs dont make a right.

At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (远征队), which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土)covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. But that was a brief sweet history.In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill too weakto defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white mens greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand. ”Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1 ,600 miles towards Canada in an attempt to retreat (撤退)north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. ”In 1885, chief Joseph was sent along with many of his band to the Colville Reservation in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation28What is TRUE of the Lewis and Clark expedition?A.They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.B.They ended their expedition on the banks of Clearwater River.C.They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.D.They were the first Americans to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific.29What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?A.Old Josephs proud manner.B.The breakdown of the peace talk.C.A growing number of white men in the land.D.White mens increasing demand for land and gold.30Young Joseph gave in at last because_.A.he grew olderB.he was terribly illC.he hated the warD.he lost other chiefs supporthttp:/w+ 未来(脑教学云平%台+31The passage might be followed by a paragraph about_.A.the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce IndiansB.the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville ReservationC.lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the WhitesD.constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribes DReading is the key to success.
