At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. _71_ Why Because the listeners do
2、 not know what the speaker plans to say. 72 If 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 wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened. 73 If you hav
3、e ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech- “I have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴 ) over his words twice during the speech. 74 Why Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making a mistake in a sp
4、eech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. 75 They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake
5、 or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human. As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely. A They only figure out what you are trying to say. B Most likely, ho
6、wever, you dont remember. C But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. D Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter.

23、ny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine.“Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,”William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word“habit”carries
24、a negative meaning. So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新 ). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, in
25、novative tracks. Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become. But dont bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedu
26、re are worn into the brain, theyre there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. “The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,”says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind.“But we are taught inst
27、ead todecide, just as our president calls himselfthe Decider ”She adds, however, that“to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” “All of us work through problems in ways of which were unaware,”she says. Researche
28、rs in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地 ) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought
29、 that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought.“This breaks the major rule in the American belief system that anyone can
30、 do anything,”explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will and Ms. Markovas business partner.“Thats a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what youre good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.”This is where developing new habits comes in. 67 Brai
31、n researchers have discovered that_. A the forming of new habits can be guided B the development of habits can be predicted C the regulation of old habits can be transformed D the track of new habits can be created unconsciously 68 The underlined word“ruts”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _ A
32、 zones B connections C situations D tracks 69 Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markovas view A Decision makes no sense in choices. B Curiosity makes creative minds active. C Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind. D Formation of innovation comes from fantastic id

A to give up our traditional habits deliberately B to create and develop new habits consciously C to resist the application of standardized testing D to believe that old habits conflict with new habits 答案： 67-70 ADBB Apparent

Once inside our bo
36、dies, they start to affect our health. Does this mean we should stop bathing No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which h
37、ave been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that“new smell, ”which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release
38、 polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风 ), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized. These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obviou
39、s chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even ones car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage. We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (
40、carbon dioxide build-up ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technol

42、Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that_ A bathing should be done with caution B homes and offices should be aired often C any pollution should be taken into consideration D we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us 66 What is the purpose of the passage A To call on us to guard o
43、ur water. B To show us that no place is like home. C To make us aware of the pollution around us. D To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe. 答案： 64-66 BCC Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job. Once a week, after his day job as medical director
44、 of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist (精神病大夫 ) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center. Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, accord ing to the US Labor
45、Department, and that looks set to increase this year. Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side. The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a
46、 second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things. People also take second jobs with an eye to the future - wanting to try out a new field or gain experience. Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的 ). He wanted to make
47、 sure he wasnt tied to one system that ended up failing. Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries - no longer just service, office and sale jobs. “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausma
48、n says. That makes a frequent change in moonlighting. As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time. Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees 9-to-5 performance. The primary employer is saying, Wait, Im paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago.
