26、Great speakers are not born but made. You too can become a good orator by taking up the public speaking courses. Those who are incapable of speaking in front of the public can’ t come up in their life. The art of public speaking must be practiced by everybody who wants to reach great heights in their career. A lot of public speaking courses are available on the Internet. Choosing the best course that is right for you may be difficult but not impossible.

The basic motive of public speaking courses should be to train you to become a public speaker and improve your skills of delivering a public speech. The course should first educate you with the principles of public speaking and tell you how to overcome stress and anxiety. By overcoming fear, you will be able to deliver your presentation clearly to your audience.

A speaker can have a great influence on the audience with his body language and your public speaking course should tell you the gestures on stage that can attract the audience. Non-verbal communication also has a major role to play in delivering a speech effectively to a group. Though body language is important, the content and the natural use of words are what the audience are closely caring about. Public speaking courses should give tips in using the  right words at the right time.

Even though you have prepared well, the real success of public speaking lies in the way your speech is delivered. Public speaking courses will train you to present the contents in a lively manner impressing the audience. Your presentation should be professional and stylish. You can add humor or interactive sessions (互动环节) to your presentation to gain the audience attraction.

【1】If you want to become a good speaker you should______.

A. be born an excellent one

B. practise speaking in public

C. attend all kinds of courses

D. make a search on the Internet

27、James Gross, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has a 13-year-old daughter who loves math and science. “It hasn’t occurred to her yet that’s unusual,” he says. “But I know in the next couple of years, it will.”

She’s already being pulled out of class to do advanced things with a couple of other kids, who are guys. And as someone who studies human emotion for a procession, Gross says, “I know as time goes on, she will feel increasingly lonely as a girl who’s interested in math and science, and be at risk of narrowing her choices in life before finding out how far she could have gone.’’

Gross’ concern clearly shows what has been a touchy subject in the world of science for a long time: Why are there still so few women in science, and how might that affect what we learn from research?

Women now make up half the national workforce, earn more college and graduate degrees than men, and by some estimates represent the largest single economic force in the world. Yet the gender gap in science persists, to a greater degree than in other professions, particularly in high-end, math-intensive fields such as computer science and engineering.

According to US Census Bureau statistics, women in fields commonly referred to as STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) made up 7 percent of that workforce in 1970, a figure that had jumped to 23 percent by 1990. But the rise essentially stopped there. Two decades later, in 2011, women made up 26 percent of the science workforce.

【1】According to James Gross, in the near future his daughter may .

A．become a great scientist

B．feel lonely and have fewer choices

C．be pulled out of class with some guys

D．learn math and science better and better

【2】We can learn from the text that .

A．women are cleverer than men in college

B．men represent the largest single economic force

C．women make up more than 50% of the national workforce

D．the number of women graduating from college is larger than that of men

【3】How does the author develop the last paragraph?

A．By providing examples.

B．By making comments.

C．By following time order.

D．By explaining the process.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Why It Is Important to Get More Women Into Science

B．James Gross, Confusion About His daughter

C．Situation of Women in the Whole Country

D．Future of women in the Workforce

28、The Ivy League schools are some of the most selective colleges in the United States. Their acceptance rates are extremely low. If you’re planning to apply to any of the Ivy League schools, be realistic about your chances of being admitted.

Cornell University

Cornell has one of the top engineering schools and top hotel management programs in the country. Cornell University admissions may appear slightly less selective than the other Ivy League schools, but don’t be fooled. You’re still going to need an exceptional academic record, high standardized test scores, and impressive extracurricular activities to be admitted.

University of Pennsylvania

It is one of the largest Ivy League schools. Its campus in West Philadelphia is just a short walk to Center City. The Wharton School is one of the top business schools in the country, and the university is also home to one of the nation’s top medical schools.

Yale University

Yale’s strengths are many, and it is home to top schools in art, medicine, business and law. Yale’s system of colleges is modeled after Oxford and Cambridge.

Harvard University

The second most selective and arguably the most famous university in the country, Harvard University has been around for longer than the United States has been a country. Since its founding in 1636, the school has grown into a world center for research supported by a $ 40 billion annual donation. Harvard University is home to numerous highly ranked graduate schools in areas such as medicine, government, engineering, business, dentistry and religion.

29、   Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all, I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As 1 flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.

I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness sand said, we need to put the landing gear down now! That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.

CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.

【1】What does the author say about doctors in general?

A．They like flying by themselves.

B．They are quick learners of CRM.

C．They pretend to be good pilots.

D．They are unwilling to take advice.

【2】The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when        .

A．his boss landed the plane too late

B．he was in charge of a flying task

C．he saved the plane by speaking up

D．his boss operated on a patient

【3】In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means       .

A．following flying requirements

B．making a mistake that may cost lives

C．listening to what fellow doctors say

D．overreacting to different opinions

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe

B．A Pilot-Turned Doctor

C．The Making of a Good Pilot

D．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

30、When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being ________ with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I ________ all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but ________ all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the ________ I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the ________ of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation（烦恼）. Thinking about the matter gave me more ________ than the whistle gave me pleasure.

_____, this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued ________ my mind, so that often, when I was ________ to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle,” and I saved my money.

If I knew a miser（守财奴）who ________ every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, ________ gathering and keeping wealth “________ man,” said I, “you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but ________ devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps ________ his health, “Mistaken man, you are providing ________ for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of ________ who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his ________, and for which he had run into debt, and ended his career in a prison. “Also,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” ________, the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) ________ value on things — to giving “too much for their whistle.”
