21、Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there. 【1】
Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. 【2】 Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory.
【3】 Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. However, you may be more likely to remember things that are handwritten rather than typed.
Rehearse your speech for a friend.【4】 It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information. Request that your friend give you some tips. They may be able to tell you if you are not speaking loud enough or if you are talking too quickly.
Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language.【5】
Avoid trying to memorize the speech word for word. Normally, it is not necessary to recite a speech word for word. It is more important to remember all of the topics that you need to cover during the speech. Spend time memorizing the bullet points, important facts and statistics, and the layout of your speech in order to guarantee that you cover all of the information that needs to be covered.
A．Type up the speech.
B．Make a list of things that scare you about the speech.
C．If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times.
D．However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice.
E．It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation.
F．You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information.
G．Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people.
22、 “Mommy, will you play this with me?” My two-year-old daughter sat next to a mountain of laundry baskets. She held a toy in her hand. I looked at her, and then I stared down a pile of dirty clothes - enough, already. I thought of some popular phrases among moms I had read countless times on the Internet. “Days are long but the years fly by.” “A messy house is a happy house.” “Hard work pays off.” I become energetic every time the phrases pass through my mind.
Sometimes, the laundry just needed to get done. I stared straight into my daughter’s pleading eyes.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I cannot play right now. Mom is really busy.” Suddenly, an idea passed through my brain. I must do the housework! And that would not make me a bad mom!
Quite the opposite, I thought.
It’s okay to clean, to cook, or to spend a morning paying bills, making phone calls and folding towels. That’s what grown-ups do. And how else will our kids learn unless we demonstrate? Recently, I read an article about a local family. It was a diary of their typical week, written by the father of six children. Each day consisted of cooking and family devotions. The grandkids ran in the barn while the older children milked cows, and everyone helped make pies for the family bakery business. They were all faithfully devoted to one another as they worked side by side from dawn to dusk.
Could it be that the real call on a family is not for the parents to serve the children, but for everyone to serve each other for a greater purpose? Sometimes we work, and sometimes we play. Strong families are built with both.
“Sweetie, I have a great idea.” I set my daughter’s game on the table and held her hands. “You can help me put these clothes in the wash. Doesn’t that sound fun?” Her face lit up. “Can I push the buttons, too?” “Absolutely, you are a good button pusher.” “Yeah,” she said as if I had just asked her to play.
【1】According to the writer, the popular phrases.
A．persuade the moms to enjoy their lives.
B．encourage and comfort the exhausted moms.
C．tell the moms the real meaning of life.
D．make the moms become more knowledgeable.
【2】What did the writer learn from the diary?
A．Interest should be developed at a young age.
B．It is really hard to take good care of children.
C．Children should be taught to contribute to families.
D．Parents are responsible for keeping family in harmony.
【3】How did the daughter feel when she was asked to do some housework?
A．Worried and scared.
B．Thankful and touched.
C．Excited and interested.
D．Disappointed and upset.
【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A．Enjoying a messy house.
B．Playing toys with my kid.
C．Making dreams come true.
D．Doing the laundry together.
23、 With a good shopping position and the right amount of money, any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop. But the hours of work are very long — I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy-hour week, besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books.
The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love books — loved the sight and smell and feel of them — if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is a peculiar flavor about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets, or out-of-date geography books. For occasional reading — in your bath, for example, or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed — there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book.
But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow, and I never buy rubbish.
【1】According to the passage, ________ is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop.
A．an educated shop-owner
B．a good position at a street corner
C．a regular journey out of the shop
D．the force of large chain-stores
【2】The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because ________.
A．he hated his job of selling books
B．selling books was only a part-time job
C．the books in the shop gave him a dislike
D．he was unable to be honest about the books he sold
【3】The books preferred by the author should be those ________.
A．stories making readers sleepless
B．valuable ones bought on sale
C．peculiar ones with great expectation
D．geography ones from the eighteenth century
【4】The author will only buy new books ________.
A．if he feels dull and tired
B．after he gives up his job as a bookseller
C．which are interesting but hard to borrow
D．when he throws away old ones
24、 In the time of weak job and housing markers. Consumers are saving less than they have in decades and industry professionals expect that trend to continue. Consumers saved 6.4 percent of their after-tax in-come in June. Before the recession, the rate was 1 to 2 percent for many years. In June, consumer spending and personal incomes were essentially flat compared with May, suggesting that the American economy, as dependent as it is on shoppers opening their wallets and purses, isn't likely to rebound anytime soon.
On the bright side, the practices that consumers have adopted in response to the economic crisis ultimately could make them happier. New studies of consumption and happiness show, for instance, that people are happier when they spend money on experiences instead of material objects, when they relish what they plan to buy long before they buy it, and when they stop trying to outdo the Joneses.
If consumers end up sticking with their newfound spending habits, some tactics(策略) that retailers and marketers began using during the recession could become lasting business strategies. Among those strategies are offering goods that makes being at home more entertaining and trying to make consumers feel special by giving them access to exclusive events and more personal customer service.
While the current round of stinginess may simply be a response to the economic downturn, some analysts say consumers may also be permanently adjusting their spending based on what they've discovered about what truly makes them happy or fulfilled.
“This actually is a topic that hasn't been researched very much until recently,” says Elizabeth W. Dunn, an associate professor in the psychology department at the University of British Columbia, who is at the forefront of research on consumption and happiness. There's massive literature on in come and happiness. It's amazing how little there is on how to spend your money.
Studies over the last few decades have shown that money, up to a certain point, makes people happier because it lets them meet basic needs. The latest round of research is. for lack of a better term, all about emotional efficiency: how to reap the most happiness for your dollar.
So just where does happiness reside for consumers? Scholars and researchers haven't determined whether Armani will put a bigger smile on your face than Dolce & Gabbana. But they have found that our types of purchases, their size and frequency, and even the timing of the spending all affect long-term happiness.
One major finding is that spending money for an experience - concert tickets, French less orris, sushi-rolling classes, a hotel room in Monaco - produces longer-lasting satisfaction than spending money on plain old stuff.
“It’s better to go on a vacation than buy a new couch is basically the idea,” says Professor Dunn.
Thomas DeLeire, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin discovered that the only category to be positively related to happiness was leisure: vacations, entertainment, sports and equipment like golf clubs and fishing poles.
【1】What's the dark side of American consumers’ saving more and spending less?
A.The job and housing markets will become even weaker.
B.There is little hope that the American economy will recover soon.
C.More and more retailers and marketers will have to go bankrupt.
D.It’s possible that the American economy will rebound sooner.
【2】What will happen if customers keep their spending habits formed in the economic downturn?
A.They will get goods and services much cheaper.
B.It's likely that they spend more time indoors.
C.Retailers will change their business strategies.
D.They will enjoy better services and experiences.
【3】What surprises Elizabeth W Dunn according to the passage?
A.There is little about how to spend money to make people happy.
B.Consumers unconsciously adjust their spending habits to be happy.
C.People started researches on con sumption-happiness relation ship so early.
D.Happiness is proved to have nothing to do with consumption.
【4】Scholars such as Prof. Dunn and Prof. DeLeire agree that ______
A.richer people feel happier and more satisfied
B.most consumers prefer leading brands like Armani
C.spending on vacations brings long-term happiness
D.people should curb their spending on material thing
