Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I cant peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “well see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. Ill never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didnt hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf(because of me). She had never let me see her tears.51.

The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.D.

Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to sayThey hear only what the speaker does sayIf you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiserWhen such moments occur, dont worry about them, just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that dont really matterIf you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech “I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) his words twice during the speechMost likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-makingPeople care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communicationThey feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performerThey are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speakers ideas clearly and directlySometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being imperfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.59. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _.

A. giving a speech is like giving a performance B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be62. What would be the best title of the passage? A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. How to Make a Perfect Speech C. Dont Expect a Perfect SpeechD. Dont Expect Mistakes in a Speech63. Which of the following statements is true? A. If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech. B. Speech-making is a kind of performance. C. Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message. D. Martin Luther King is not a good speaker.DWhen a friend is sad about a tragedy(悲剧), its hard to know how to comfort(安慰) him/ her. But the worst thing you can do is say nothing.
