Its just that from my point of view, my own sense of confidence, if you like, I feel that if Im going to be responsible for instructing other people in the company, then I should do something to improve my own leve
27、l of knowledge. On the other hand, I dont know what I feel about the course it self. One thing is for sure, I am not looking forward to the journey there and back every day.

You know, like I am being sent back to school or some thing.
31、 I am feeling very lacking in confidence, which is of course not the best starting position. After all these years of doing the job, and doing it well, Im proud to say, and picking it up as Ive gone along. It seems embarrassing to be told to go get a piece of paper, to have to have a certificate, es
32、pecially when you feel you know what youre doing. Yes, of course, I do realize therell be things on the course I havent done before. And that concerns me too.

Its a bit frightening, to tell you the truth, with so many pople having to go. After g0 years in a company, you dont want to think abou
35、t being out of work, do you? But I really wish the brochure would tell you more. It looks good, as I said, but theres no detail, nothing on the time or the teachers. So I feel a bit in the dark really. 21 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 仅从 “It looks good, as I Said, but theres no detail, nothing on the time or the

So Im sure it represents good value for money and time. 22 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 有很多话来支持答案 G。有代表是最后一句： “So Im sure it represents good value for money and time”。 三、 PART THREE 23 【听力原文】 When youre making a presentation, your posture can affect the quality of your voice. T
39、he way you stand, you know, the position of your head, neck and shoulders and feet and so on is important. Check that you feet are parallel and apart and you weight is slightly forward on your feet. Make sure that your knees are relaxed, as if you are tense your back will suffer. Pay special attenti
40、on to your head. Look straight ahead and dont push your neck out or drop it on to your chest. I had a man come to see me once as he was constantly losing his voice. It was all due to his habit of sticking his neck forward which was putting pressure on his throat. He sounded quite squeaky when he spo
41、ke. What he should have been doing was keeping his ears in line with his shoulders. Your head should feel as though its floating on top of your body! So watch that. Now most of us feel quite nervous before we speak in public. Youll feel better if you spend some time dealing with the tension. Its a g
42、ood idea to try and think about what it is thats making you feel this way, That way you can have some control over it. Next, try and locate the area of tension in your body. Often its your neck or your shoulders. Then concentrate on massaging these parts and consciously trying to relax them. Believe
43、 me, it works! Lets think about what you say, now. To maximize your performance make sure you are well-prepared. Look over your notes, practise what you want to say, preferably out loud, and then, perhaps most important of all, try to feel you really want to share your subject with your audience. If
44、 you feel and share your enthusiasm with them, youre more than half way there. Remember that how people feel about you and what you are saying to them will depend on your body language. There are three main behaviour types: Passive, Aggressive and Assertive. You can use any of these types, although
45、I think the assertive posture is one that suits most occasions best. The passive body type has a withdrawn posture. You may fidget a bit with your hands and hair. In fact I remember a well-known politician who whenever he was speaking would constantly massage the top of his head. So be ware of those
46、 funny little manner isms. They can become intensely irritating to an audience. If your posture is aggressive, however, you tend to be quite rigid. You could be constantly swinging your leg or crossing your arms and clenching your fists and the audience will fell uncomfortable. Your voice will often
47、 sound harsh or sharp and your audience may then feel quite aggressive towards you and thats something you dont want if your aim is to get them to see your point of view. That brings me to the assertive posture. Now youre standing straight, feeling comfortable and calm with your arms hanging loosely
48、 at your sides. In this position there is minimal tension and your voice is full, clear and varied. Youre a delight to listen to. Finally, a few dos and donts when it comes to looking after your voice, especially before giving a speech or whatever. Its a bit obvious but avoid smoky areas, and alcoho
49、l, too. Drink plenty of fluids, especially things like fruit juice or even coffee or tea and keep your throat moist while youre speaking. Also, interestingly enough, stop eating too many dairy products when you have a cold. It can make you sound worse and also dont forget to use your lips and tongue carefully to make the words stand out clearly. And just a
