Public speaking is one of the top three fears among adults in both the UK and the US. Here are some suggestions that deal with some of the most common problems people experience with public speaking.

    Invite the attention in

    Do you hate that moment when you stand up in front of a group to speak and everybody looks at you?①  . It's a sign that people are interested and want to hear what you have to say. Welcome those looks!

    Beat the brain freeze

    Have you ever been in the middle of speaking and suddenly……brain freeze!②  . It is possible that you forgot something for the moment. And you are holding your breath! All you need to do is to trust yourself, clear your mind, focus and breathe. The thoughts will come rushing back to your mind in no time. Phew!

    Increase your confidence

Use this exercise to get in touch with the "naturally confident (自信的) you" inside. Close your eyes and remember a special time you felt really relaxed and confident. Imagine the feeling of relaxation rushing through your whole body. It will pass information to your brain that you are confident and happy.③  Whether you are someone who just wants to move from good to great with your speaking, or someone who feels too afraid to stand up and speak, the great news is that you can move forward, be relaxed, and turn into a great speaker.④  

(2)Write down another suggestion on how to become a good speaker. (答案不多于5个单词)

I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17﹣year﹣old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French﹣speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.

    On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine(测定)our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.

    I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.

    On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European﹣style(欧式的)buildings, and learned some stories there.

    Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed(沉浸)in a French﹣speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.

(1)When did the writer fly alone for the first time?  

(2)How did the local school determine the students' language level?  

(3)Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French?  

(4)What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City?

When Dr. Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.

    Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.

    Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.

    What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.

    That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.

回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过5个词.

(1)How do scientists working in the park study elephants?  

(2)What did Dr. McComb study?  

(3)What did Dr. McComb and her team do for an explanation?
