| 42. Divorce is so disastrous to the body, mind and sprit that in an overwhelming number of cases, the cure is worse than the disease, of course, there are exceptions. Divorce may be the last way out in case of drug or alcohol addiction, physical abuse, severe emotional cruelty or permanent abandonment. But overall, people could spare themselves enormous suffering if they check their permissive acceptance of divorce and viewed marriage as a lifelong component not to be entered into--- or wriggled out of --- lightly. The old wedding promise reads “for better for worse, till death pare us”. Today couples commonly echo “through good times and bad, as long as our love shall last.” Until recently, I nodded at the “improvement”, now I clear-headedly acknowledge the wisdom of the past. It’s well known that half of all marriages today are expected to fail, equally well known is the financial suffering for men and especially for women who divorce. But less well known are the continual effects of loneliness and depression for those who divorce. In those days of disposable marriage, it’s common for couples to think carefully of separation. Now it may happen in the midst of a shouting match or during a fantasy about a perfect mate. Unfortunately, divorce veterans soon learn they have been deceived by myths that divorce can open new horizons, that the dating scene is exciting, and that bright, attractive people will always find new partners. It’s time to be out of the myths and look at the reality of divorce. We too frequently act as if every weak marriage deserves death. We sympathize with a divorce friend when we ought to warn him that he might be making a terrible mistake. [共5题] | |

| 43. My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief courtship. She was nearing 30 and knew it was time to start a family. The handsome, well-educated man who came by the office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was captivated by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didn’t last long. Seeds of difference sprouted almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, while she was an ardent Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived failings of their in-laws. To make matters worse, they owned a business together, and the everyday frustrations of life at the office came to roost at home. There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the furious winds did calm somewhat, but what remained steeled itself into bright, hard bitterness. I always thought we’d … my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father’s faults. The litany was recited so often that I can reel it off by heart today. As he listened, my father would mutter angry threats and curses. It was a miserable duet. It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all; why not try to make the best of things? We’d provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they’d abide by one rule: no fighting. The truce was honored. We had a wonderful day. In hindsight it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents. As debilitating dementia settled in, their marriage was about the only thing they wouldn’t lose. [共5题] |

| 44. Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers. Valentine was executed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on piece of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet for a year. Lovers still put their names on piece of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short: “Jane. I love you very much.” Others say more. This one, for example: “Dan, Roses are red Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever. Mary.” Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper. [共5题] |

| 45. For the rich and famous, divorce American-style can cost millions in legal fees and drag on for years. Dissolving a marriage is emotionally draining, but does it have to be expensive and time-consuming as well? The average American divorce can cost between 20000 for legal help, and an offer takes more than a year to finalize. “Point, Click and Split” – Christine and Andrew Brodigan of Seattle found a cheap and quick alternative – divorce on line. “We are about to answer our last few questions for our divorce,” Christine Brodigan said as she began the online process recently. “Divorce isn’t easy, but this sure made a huge difference in not having to deal with a lot of stuff that normal people would have to go through.” Using an online site, www.completecase.com, the Brodingans were able to end their nine-year union with just a credit card and the click of a mouse. “Generally, these are people who are not going to see the inside of a lawyer’s office anyway,” said Randy Finney, a Seattle divorce lawyer who is the founder and CEO of Completecase.com. “These are people who either can’t afford or don’t want to hire an attorney.” It cost the Brodigans $249 and took about 30 minutes– “Very cost-effective for us,” said Andrew Brodigan, as his ex-wife agreed “In our situation, we didn’t have a lot of money to deal with anyway,” Andrew Brodigan added. On the site, designed only for uncontested divorces, couples like the Brodigans can find ready-made divorce forms, complete with answers to frequently asked questions. At the end of their online process the Brodigans saw a final message on their computer screen: “It said, ‘Attention, you have reached the end of question – answer process,’ ” Christine and Andrew could print, sign and mail their forms to the judge. “Lawyer: Site Doesn’t Cheapen Marriage”. Finney believes his site provides a needed service to troubled couples, and doesn’t cheapen the institution of marriage. [共5题] |

| 42. Most job seekers will not go through an interview process like “The Apprentice,” a reality TV show, but the fundamentals are universal: making a personal connection with the interviewer, demonstrating what qualities you will bring to the position, and setting yourself apart from the competition, hopefully in a positive way. By watching the program, job seekers can learn a lot about the dynamic between interviewer and interviewee. Hiring authorities can also learn ways to judge candidates. The following are some tips for job seekers. Don’t rely on generalities. When asked why you should be hired or not fired, back up statements with quantifiable evidence. When asked why they should be retained, Jessie and her other team members provided generalities about their leadership skills and characters, but none offered concrete examples of specific accomplishments. Dress for success. At first, the women in particular looked more like they were competing for positions with an escort service than with a major real estate company. However, they quickly came around, and learned that in order to be considered professional one has to dress in professional attire. Ask for the job. One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is ruining an otherwise successful interview by not actually asking for the job. It might seem unnecessary. After all, the job seeker would not have applied if he or she did not want the job. However, by asking for the job in the interview, the job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is interested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity. Take responsibility for your decisions. In a performance review and even in some job interviews, particularly for upper management positions, a candidate is often asked to explain or defend actions and decisions. The employer, before investing money in a new employee, wants to make sure that you recognize problems or failures and, most importantly, that you learn something that will make you a better employee and the company more profitable. When a project leader makes excuses or blames others on the team, it does not enhance the individual’s image and it does not tell the employer that anything was learned. [共5题] | |

| (A) showing the good qualities you will bring to the position | |

| (D) you can make excuses | |

| 43. Not only does Nick A. Corcodilos, a famous headhunter, have a keen eye for tracking talent, but also he gives smart advices for job candidates. Here are his new principles for successful job hunting. Your résumé is meaningless. Headhunters know a résumé rarely gets you inside a company. All it does is outline your past-largely irrelevant since it doesn’t demonstrate that you can do the work the hiring manager needs done. Don’t get lost in HR. Headhunters try to get around the human-resources department whenever possible. “Most HR departments create an infrastructure that primarily involves processing paper,” Corcodilos says. “They package, organize, file and sort you. Then, if you haven’t gotten lost in the shuffle they might pass you on to a manager who actually knows what the work is all about. While the typical candidate is waiting to be interviewed by HR, the headhunter is on the phone, using a back channel to get to the hiring manager.” Do the same in your job search: apply directly to the person who will ultimately make the hire. The real matchmaking takes place before the interview. A headhunter sends a candidate into an interview only if he or she is clearly qualified for the position. In your own job hunt, make the same effort to ensure a good fit. Know the parameters of the job when you walk into the interview. Research the company, finding out about its culture, goals, and competitors. As you investigate a prospective employer, you’ll often find you and the company are not made for each other. “And that’s good,” Corcodilos says, “because when you do find the right fit, you’ll walk into an interview with confidence, having decided this is where you want to work.” So give yourself an attitude adjustment. If you convince yourself the manager wants to hire you, you’ll have a positive attitude at the interview, and your attitude might influence the manager to feel good about you. [共5题] |

| 44. The smart job-seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to pound the pavement looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview. Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! Incompetent job-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating employer’s expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don’t want. So, before you do back-flips for an employer, be sure you want the job. Myth 2: Always please the interviewer Not true. Try to please yourself. Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer, losing touch with your own feelings (in order to get in touch with some other person’s feelings) and, in general, practicing an awful policy of appeasement are certain to keep you from success and progress. Of course, don’t be hostile----nobody wants to hire someone hostile. But there is plainly a middle ground between being too ingratiating (逢迎的)and being hostile. An effective interview (whether you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your neighbor on an airplane. Myth 3: Try to control the interview Nobody “controls” an interview----neither you nor the interviewer----although one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we resent it. When we try to control somebody, they resent us. Remember, you can’t control what employers think of you, just as they can’t control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing; never dominate the interview. Myth 4: Don’t disagree with the interviewer Another silly myth. If you don’t disagree at times, you become, in effect, a “yes” man or woman. Don’t be afraid to disagree with your interviewer---- in a pleasant and pleasing way. And don’t hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer thinks, “There’s a person with an open mind!” Then conventional wisdom says “be yourself,” true enough. But how many people can be themselves if they don’t feel free to disagree? [共5题] |
| (1) The purpose of an interview is _____ _. |
| (A) to obtain a job offer |
| (B) to obtain a job you want |
| (C) to meet employer’s expectations |
| (D) to show you are qualified for the jobs |

| 45. The chief purpose of work is not to produce things but to build man. It is not so important what shape or form our work may take; what is vitally important is our attitude toward that work. Even if the particular duty is one which doesn’t seem worth doing, if you must do it, it is important to do it right. Even if no one else will ever know whether you did it right or not, you will know. By making a commitment to quality work, you make a commitment you can be. When you do as little as possible or just enough to get by, you are not merely cheating your employer, your customers, your clients, and your co-workers, but most importantly, you cheat yourself. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to develop pride and self-worth. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to meet a challenge and develop your inner powers and abilities. You may be able to get away with cheating others, but you never get away with cheating yourself. Thus, the key is a commitment to yourself to use every possible opportunity for self-development and treat every work assignment, no matter how small or boring, as a challenge that can be used in your development. Work is a projection of self. Consciousness can regard any job as a potential opportunity for self-expression, for play, for creativity, for the furtherance of social objectives, and it can arrange the factors in the job so that they form a means of self-expression. Most jobs contain at least some limited options for creativity. To the extent that any job can be done in different ways, the job presents you with an opportunity to project your unique abilities and values into that job. Any type of communication, written or spoken, presents a significant opportunity for creative expression. Even if your efforts are reviewed and must be toned down to fit into the mold of your organization, there is always a slight opening through which you can project your unique personality. Use these opportunities to express and confirm your existence. [共5题] |

| 42. The importance of breathing is obvious as we depend on taking in oxygen for our lives. As humans, we have to eliminate the things our body is no longer using, and breathing takes care of 70% of this process. Other than eliminating the air from your lungs, after the oxygen has been absorbed, breathing also expels toxins from your body. You can also eliminate other things such as emotions or stress. By harnessing the immense power of breathing, you can create a better connection with your inner self. By becoming more aware of your breathing you will be able to reduce a lot of outside negativity. Focus your attention on your breath and tell your mind to think only about it. The rhythmical sensation your breath produces will help your mind, and your body, relax and slow down. Thinking is responsible for most of the tensions and stress we face, and this little exercise takes thinking into a harmonious and peaceful location. Many of our thoughts are negative. We often use or think about words like “won’t,” can’t or “shouldn’t.” These negative connotations reflect on the way we feel, increasing nervousness and stress. Your brain processes millions of thoughts on a daily basis and focusing it on your breath gives it a break. Temporarily lowering your mind’s activity gives you extra peace and helps relax both your brain and your body. Try to appreciate your breathing education as you would practice a sport. In order to reach a goal, you will need to improve and enhance certain skills. You can’t just be an Olympic athlete—you have to become one through hard work. This can be done by building up your strengths and stamina, as well as improving your physical abilities. Improving your breathing works exactly the same way. Your subconscious mind usually takes care of the breathing process, leaving your conscious mind to deal with other things. However, this is the time to take breathing matters into your own hands, and consciously control your breath while you exercise this technique. [共5题] | |

| 43. Laughter has wonderful physiological benefits. Doctors call humor the inner treadmill as it has benefits similar to exercise. To name a few: Problem-solving ability is enhanced by laughter because it helps the brain to de-stress and do its work without distraction. Laughter also provides an important relief for those of us suffering from pain through the release of endorphins. In addition, laughter improves respiration, increases the number of immune cells, lowers blood pressure and decreases the likelihood of a second heart attack. Certainly, nothing to sneer at! So how do you become a comedian especially if you are introverted, formal and more literal minded? What if there is just too much pain and sadness in your life and you do not see even a tiny opening for a little humor? Even during despair, there is potential for humor and here is my personal example. When my elderly aunt died at home at the age of 98, my cousin called me to the house to help make the arrangements; needless to say, no matter how old a family member is at death, there is still a feeling of deep loss, for she is someone’s mother and aunt. In short, my cousin was distraught. When I contacted the funeral parlor, the director asked all the necessary clerical questions including the age of my aunt. When I informed her that my aunt Molly was 98, she automatically responded, “Wow, God Bless.” To which I couldn’t help but respond, “But she’s dead.” My cousin lost it and burst into uproarious laughter as did the funeral director. We needed a little humor to alleviate the palpable sadness. [共5题] |

| 44. Mild stress is known to improve learning. A totally relaxed child will not be as receptive to new information as a child experiencing mild stress. It is also known that when the stress of working at a job is removed when elderly people retire they age more quickly unless new activities are substituted in their lives. It is thought that senility (衰老)occurs more frequently with inactivity than with continued activity. Much of the great art, inventions and discoveries has resulted from the stress of the creators. Would we have the Sistine Chapel(西斯行廷教堂) if Michelangelo had lived a quiet stressless life? We must also admit that the bodily changes that occur under stress often lead to activities that could not be performed under normal circumstances. The 110-pound woman who lifts a one-ton automobile to release her child caught under the wheels could not ordinarily perform this feat; the bodily changes produced by the stress of the situation enable her to do this superhuman act. An athlete relies on the changes that occur under stress to help him run faster, tackle harder, and win the game. It appears that the amount of harmful stress any particular individual experiences depends upon how he views the stressful experience. If he sees it as threatening, it is a bad stress; but if he views it as a challenge, it can be a beneficial stress. Also, his personality type plays a significant role in the determination of whether the stress is good or bad. Certain types of people appear to need stress to make their lives exciting and meaningful-it keeps them young, alive, and functioning. Other types seem to need routine, quiet, and peaceful environment. Should you avoid stress or encourage it? The experts don’t have the answer. But all do agree that attitude is one of the most important factors. A positive attitude can make stress your ally. A negative attitude will make stress your enemy. Perhaps the best course is to accept stress as inevitable, both good and bad, and to keep the stress that feels good and try to eliminate the stress that feels bad. You be your own expert! [共5题] |

| 45. An increasing number of scientists have found that what pleasure gives you may be more than just fun. Pleasure and humor might help us live longer and fight off illness. “Science has generally neglected pleasure and humor to concentrate on negative things like depression and illness,” said Dr. William Fry, a psychiatry (精神病学) professor at Stanford University Medical Center in California. “But there’s a growing realization of just how powerful pleasure is.” For example, research shows that smiling and laughing can actually strengthen your immune system, reduce stress and physical pain, and even help cancer-patients. One research project at Loma Linda University showed these beneficial effects of laughter on the body. In the study, ten medical students were connected with several machines and spent an hour watching a funny videotape of a man smashing watermelons with a hammer. Researchers were not trying to prove that smashing watermelons was a funny thing to do. They already knew that the volunteers would probably laugh very loudly. What the researchers wanted to find out was how laughing affected the volunteers as they watched the video. The researchers were delighted to discover that small but important changes were taking place in the volunteers’ blood streams as they roared (咆哮) with laughter. Their blood showed increased production of white blood cells. At the same time, a decrease was noticed in the levels of chemicals that stop the immune system from working properly. Studies such as this seem to show that you should laugh as much as possible! You will increase your chances of living a long, healthy life. That’s what one researcher means when he says, “He who laughs, lasts. For years we’ve thought that laughter and other forms of pleasure were good for you. Now it’s a physiological reality.” [共5题] |
| (1) Which of the following would Dr. William probably agree with? |
| (A) The depression and illness increase the production of white blood cells. |

| 42. With fewer choices in the job market and no opportunity in the stock market, people will naturally start to consider a business launch. Just 15 years ago, that meant renting office space or a storefront. Not any more. A home-based business is perfectly respectable now. It’s even coveted. The home business is accurately perceived as offering more personal freedom than the out-of-home launch that comes with the strings of large capital investment and staff management. We can thank the last major down cycle for taking the stigma out of home enterprises. The early-to-mid 1980s saw corporations laying off white-collar workers for the first time. In earlier down cycles, white-collar workers were immune to layoffs as companies trimmed blue-collar manufacturing jobs. The laid-off white-collar workers became consultants and worked from home. Suddenly the home enterprise was legitimate. Running a company from your spare bedroom no longer meant you spent your day holding Mary Kay and Tupperware parties. The Internet increased the allure of the home-based start-up. Most shoestring e-biz companies begin in the home, whether the company trades in products or services. For a small Net-based business, there is little reason to rent offices. Besides, statistics from the Small Business Administration (SBA) strongly suggest your odds for success are greater if you launch from home. The SBA has found that 52 to 55 percent of all businesses are no longer active after five years. For those companies launched and grown in the home, the failure rate is 45 to 48 percent after five years. Placing your business in your home gives you a slightly better than even chance for survival. The improved odds most likely have to do with the lower overhead of a home-based business. With a soft economy and a growing number of laid-off workers who will naturally consider a business start-up when they discover their job prospects are dim, this is not the best time to launch a new enterprise. But a home business start-up boom is likely in process right now. It’s not because of opportunity; it’s because of desire. [共5题] | |

| 43. In 2002, Ismail convinced Wyman to launch a new business – called PubSub – based on an idea that Wyman says he had been mulling for two decades: a Web search engine that would flag future references to certain search criteria, such as earthquake notifications or Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The key selling point was immediacy: While Google Alerts and other systems ran periodic checks for new related content, Wyman’s program notified users the instant a reference appeared. In theory, PubSub would make money by running searches on behalf of companies, or by licensing its technology for private use. Wyman, now 53, and Ismail, 41, kicked in a combined 200,000 represented his entire net worth). The friendly entrepreneurs seemed off to a good start. Their technology worked, and, thanks to Ismail’s contacts, the company soon raised another Then came the conflict. Wyman says Ismail wasn’t willing to dilute his ownership stake to raise more capital, while Ismail says that Wyman was too prickly and impetuous for investors to work with. Things really got messy when a well-funded company called KnowNow, which sells information-tracking services, inquired about a potential merger. Ismail thought the company’s weak cash position would lead to a lowball offer; Wyman, on the other hand, thought the two companies would be a good fit. At last, all money is down the drain and PubSub can’t even afford to file for bankruptcy. No one has filed suit – yet. Meanwhile, Ismail, who resigned from PubSub’s board last March, says he is in the process of starting up three Internet companies, and that recruiters are knocking down his door. Wyman says he is looking for work but would like to keep PubSub alive. “This is one of the most painful experiences I’ve gone through in my life,” he says. “Second only to my divorce.” [共5题] |

| 44. Mary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children's books — her life’s goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards. Then she decided to give it a try, which transformed her life forever. After that, Engelbreit sent a sample of her drawings to two greeting-card companies. One bought three of her original drawings, and she did occasional work for the other, sketching a lot of whales, dragons, castles and mythical animals. Then in 1980 the birth of her son added a new element to her work. “Suddenly everyday life seemed more interesting to me,” she says. Children, pets, even “good old Mom” started showing up on her cards. Once you know Engelbreit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 20 paces away — bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Her cards usually have elaborate border designs comprised of repeated images: hearts, flowers, peaches, and teapots, for example. “I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. “As the world gets more complicated, it’s nice to have old-fashioned stuff around to help people cope with the demands of modern life. It’s like comfort food. This is comfort art.” While eight months pregnant, in 1983, Engelbreit decided to start her own company. Within two years, her company was producing nearly 100 different cards and selling a million of them a year. In 1986 she licensed the copyrights to the cards to Sunrise Publications, who now manages their production and distribution, allowing her to focus on other projects.

| 45. Nothing says love like a dozen long-stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day. “Red roses say ‘I love you’,” says Gerald Hager, executive director of a marketing research institute. For rose growers, rose distributors and rose sellers, this year’s anticipated 7% increase in sales will be sweeter than a box of chocolate candy. Rose is still red. But selling is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy. And discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money. Roses Only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the 1990s. Except for today, prices range from 19 for a dozen of its longest stems. The company, its headquarters in New York, has three stores in New York, one in Canada and five in Spain. It plans to expand to three more U.S. cities this year. The company’s formula for success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains(安第斯山脉) near the capital of Ecuador(厄瓜多尔). Fresh roses are sprayed with water to keep them moist and flown to company stores three times a week. The New York stores sell about 45,000 stems a week, along with other things like balloons and stuffed animals. Roses Only can arrange delivery by overnight mail to anywhere in the country. While discount rose retailers watch their business bloom, U.S. rose growers are going bankrupt in severe foreign competition. Today, more than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia(哥伦比亚) and Ecuador, accounting for almost 90% of the total imported last year. Imported roses are sold across the entire breadth of the country, from big flower shops to street-corner stands. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers. All the changes are making some in the rose business long for the good old days. [共5题] |

Perhaps my greatest honor came when I was asked to read the New Testament on tape. But it took a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a youngster I stuttered so badly I was completely unable to speak in public. Since I was eight I’d had trouble speaking. It was so bad that whenever I stood up in class to read, the other kids snickered and laughed. I always sat down, my face burning with shame. I am not sure what caused my stuttering. Perhaps it was an emotional problem. I was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, and when I was five, I moved to live with my grandparents on their farm near Dublin in northern Michigan. It was traumatic moving from the warm, easy ways of catfish country to the harsh climate of the north, where people seemed so different. Fortunately I met Donald Crouch there, a tall, lean man with gray hair. English was his favorite subject and poetry was his deepest love. When he learned that I not only loved poetry but was writing it, we found a kinship. There was, however, one difficulty between us. Professor Crouch (we always called him that) could not stand the fact that I refused to read my poems to the class. With his help, my stuttering disappeared. And encouraged by Professor Crouch, I took exams and won a scholarship to the University of Michigan. Finally, I entered the drama department. About two years later, I learned Donald Crouch had passed on. When I was asked to record the New Testament, I really did it for a tall, lean man with gray hair who had not only helped to guide me to the author of the Scriptures, but as the father of my resurrected voice, had also helped me find abundant life.

| 43. The most critical three minutes in a speech are the first three minutes. They are unique. First, the audience’s attention is naturally high because their concentration level decreases as the time elapses. Second, a speaker only has one chance to make a first impression, which is during the first minutes of the speech. In line with the nature of the first three minutes, there are at least three goals that a speaker should achieve during this period: to grab the audience’s attention, to establish his credibility, and to build rapport. How to grab the audience’s attention? Try to open with a line that makes them listen. Many things can be interesting to the audience. A comment on some current local or national events will surely get them interested. Especially effective are current events relating to retail prices, housing, cars, and fashion. Humor and anecdotes have the same effect because laughing gets the audience feeling relaxed and ready to hear your story. However, keep them short and to the point since incomprehensible jokes and jokes that have nothing to do with the topic sometimes offend certain people. Our next task is to establish credibility. I mean you need to make your audience trust you. It depends on the speaker’s depth of knowledge, personal experience, level of preparedness, and appearance. Among them, I want to stress appearance, because there is not much you can do about other factors such as knowledge and experience—they need time to be accumulated—while appearance takes much less time to take care of and sometimes it plays a more significant role than knowledge and experience. When I use the word ‘appearance’, I do not simply mean the way you dress; it also includes the way you speak and your gestures when you speak. Finally, we need to show respect and build rapport during the first three minutes. By showing your respect to them, you will gain further support from them. The most effective way to show respect and build rapport is to meet the audience’s expectations. Many of the expectations can only be met by good preparation before the presentation. [共5题] |

| 44. The need for effective public speaking will almost certainly touch you some time in your life. Even if you never give another speech in your life, you still have much to gain from studying public speaking. There are many similarities between public speaking and daily conversation. The three major goals of public speaking ---- to inform, to persuade, to entertain ---- are also the three major goals of everyday conversation. In conversation, almost without thinking about it, you employ a wide range of skills. You organize your ideas logically. You tailor your message to your audience. You tell a story for maximum impact. You adapt to feedback from your listener. These are among the most important skills you will need for public speaking. Public speaking is also different from conversation. First, public speaking is more highly structured than conversation. It usually imposes strict time limitations on the speaker, and it requires more detailed preparation than does ordinary conversation. Second, public speaking requires more formal language. Listeners react negatively to speeches loaded with slang (俚语), jargon (行话), and bad grammar. Third, public speaking demands different method of delivery. Effective speakers adjust their voices to the larger audience and work at avoiding distracting physical mannerisms and verbal habits. One of the major concerns of students is stage fright. Actually, most successful speakers are nervous before making a speech. You will take a big step toward overcoming stage fright if you think positively, choose speech topics you really care about, prepare thoroughly, and concentrate on communicating with your audience. Because of the growing diversity of modern life, many ---- perhaps most ---- of the audiences you address will include people of different cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. When you work on your speeches, be alert to how such factors might affect the responses of your listeners and take steps to adapt your message accordingly. Above all, avoid the ethnocentric belief that your own culture or group ---- whatever it may be ---- is superior to every other culture or group. [共5题] |

| 45. Language is a unified system of symbols that permits a sharing of meaning. Language allows minds to meet, merge, and mesh(相和、协调). When we “make sense” out of people’s messages, we learn to understand people. There is no direct relationship between words and things, as Ogden and Richards’s Trangle of Meaning demonstrates. Words don’t “mean”; people give meaning to words. A principal barrier to communication is the fact that different people give quite different meanings to the same words. Words change across time, from place to place, and according to individual experience. Among the communication problems that result from changes in word meaning are (1) bypassing (when people think they understand each other but in fact do not), and (2) mistaking the label for the thing itself (displaying an intentional rather than an extensional orientation). There are two strategies we can use to improve our oral language abilities. First, we can use common sense to recognize that certain styles of language are appropriate at certain times and certain places. Second, we can seek to make ourselves as clear as possible by selecting words with meaning for our listeners, taking account of their educational level and sublanguages they understand. Keeping each of these guidelines in mind as you interact with others should help to improve your communication skills. If you recognize that every time you communicate with others you run the risk of being misunderstood, then you will be more likely to become sensitive to the ways in which your words affect those with whom you relate. As John Condon, author of Semantics (语义) and Communication, advises, “learning to use language intelligently begins by learning not to be used by language.” [共5题] |
