Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2016·江西九江统考)You may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine，cheap airline tickets，and books and，of course，computers and computer products.There may also be offers for investment deals，bank loans and special holidays.However，to many computer users，this use of electronic spam to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult.
Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a“spammer”．A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information.Spammers find e­mail addresses from websites，news groups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other. Most spam is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products.Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for fair prices.These companies can offer their products for a cheaper price than you might
find in a store.However，much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide.They are only interested in stealing your money.When you answer their spam，you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift.If you just follow what they ask you to do without any consideration，it is likely that you will be cheated and lose some money.

I reached the school in time.Before my turn came，my whole body was trembling.When my turn came and I started speaking，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry.I wasn’t eve n able to read the written speech properly.I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading.That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness，Public Speaking.
After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me.He told me that this happens to everyone.Even great speaker，faced the same things when they started.He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later，I was invited to refer to a topic on motivation.This time I was feeling comfortable.My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers，because I was able to get my idea across to them.They encouraged and praised my efforts.
After delivering it successfully，I became more confident.I said to myself，“If I can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，I can now speak in front of others too.”
I started delivering lectures in my plant，on various topics like Self Motivation，Personality Development，Personal Excellence，Spoken English and Presentation Skills.This has become a passion for me.I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
