Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say．They hear only what the speaker does say．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, don’t worry about them, Just continue as if nothing happened．Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter ．If you have ever listen to Martin Lut her King’s famous speech –― I have a dream‖, you may notice that he stumbles（结巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making．People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech 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．But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer．They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human．As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect．Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely．41．The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________．A．be smarter than you B．notice your mistakesC．do better than you D．know what you are talking about42．You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________．A．your attention is on the contentB．you don’t fully understand the speechC．you don’t know what the speaker plans to sayD．you find the way of speech-making more important43．It can be inferred from the passage that ___________．A．giving a speech is like giving a performanceB．one to two mistakes in a speech may not be badC．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD．the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be44．What would be the best title of the passage?A．How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB．How to Make a Perfect SpeechC．Don’t Expect a Perfect SpeechD．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech45．Which of the following statements is true?A．If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech．B．Speech-making is a kind of performance．C．Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message．D．Martin Luther King is not a good speaker．BWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me．I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love．It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours．When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend．We were shy and ―too serious‖ about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors．We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:―Let’s start with a train whistle today．‖ We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle．Then we would read them aloud．At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped．( Paragraph 3) When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend．He was in despair and I was in despair．But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at that time．We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things．We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted．We gave London to each other．( Paragraph 4) For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine．We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves．Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams．She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind．In my most interesting moments, I often think:―Yes, I must tell…．‖, though we have never met．It is such comforting companions I wish to keep．One bright hour with their kindness is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend．46．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______．A．become serious about her studyB．go to her friend’s house

in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people．The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month．The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system．The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies．"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan．Participation in the alert system by carriers –telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry．The program would be optional for cell phone users．They also may not be charged for receiving alerts．There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules．The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or a nationwide disease．The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings．The third would be reserved for child kidnapping emergencies．The service could be in place by 2010．51．What is the purpose of the approved plan?A．To warn people of emergencies through messages．B．To popularize the use of cell phones．C．To estimate the monthly number of messages．D．To promote the wireless industry．52．The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ____．A．CTIAB．the Warning Alert and Response Network ActC．FCCD．federal regulators53．Which of the following is TRUE of cell phone users?A．They must accept the alert service．B．They may enjoy the alert service for free．C．They must send the alerts to othersD．They may choose the types of messages54．An alert message will NOT be sent if _____．A．a child gets robbed in the streetB．a university shooting happensC．a natural disaster happensD．a terrorist attack occurs55．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Cell Phone Alerts Protecting
