Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more afraid we become.
But stop being so nervous. Public speaking is easy. It’s just talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m shy myself (honest!), I’ve been making speeches and talking on the radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. Anybody who can talk can speak in public.
Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Your audience is going to remember one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or twenty. Organize your idea before your speech. If you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will understand nothing.
When I give a speech on the radio or TV live, I often write the last sentence first. We often come across the situation that we go too far from what we want to say. When you know where you’re headed. you can choose any road to get there. A strong close is very important: the last thing you say is what your audience will remember.
The length of a speech is usually within 12 minutes. If all those singing and dancing performances couldn’t be interesting enough to hold your audience’s attention all the time, what makes you think you can?

How often do you exercise? A new study finds that most American kids aged 12 to 15 aren’t getting enough physical activity. The results are based on about 800 kids. As part of the study, the kids tracked and reported on their own activity levels, and took physical exams.
U.S. fitness guideline(指南) suggest an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study, only 1 in 4 U.S. kids get enough physical activity.
“It’s certainly worrying to see that our kids have such a limited amount of physical activity each day,” said Dr. Stephen Pont. He is an expert on children’s health.
Few kids in the survey met the requirements for physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes them breathe harder. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of exercise every day. Kids also reported on
which activities they did most often outside of school gym class--basketball for boys and running for girls.
The study found that fat teens were less active than normal weight girls and boys. Fat girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls, but levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also says that the percent of fat children aged 2 to 19 is 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.
“There’s always room for improvement,” said health expert Tala Fakhouri, who was the leader of the study. She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns’ such as Let’s Move, which was initiated by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2010. To encourage kids to eat right and get in shape, the First Lady visit schools and holds exercise events. She also calls on schools to offer regular gym classes.
The study also suggests kids who get physical education at school may get better grades. He said schools can do more to help by not cutting rest and giving kids more time for physical activity.

D. improved
2. What is the result of the new study?

B. Most U.S. kids don’t get enough exercise.
C. Kids should get physical exercise activity every day.
D. It’s important to take physical exams.
3. According to the study, children with enough exercise may __________.

Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new opinion when it comes to using green paper.
I made a web page with links to posts about our financial(金融的) journey. There, you can look for more details of where we’ve been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing(裁员) journey. We got out of debt(债务) and stayed out of debt.
So I want to share the benefits of being on this side very much. It takes planning and more careful thoughts whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars having a job. So many of us work for money and don’t consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.
Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $20 on food in 3 days.It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what for my life.
On the other hand, there are times I spend $20 while out with my family and it doesn’t worry me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and doing something fun together has a completely different feel to it.
In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.
4. What do the underlined words “green paper” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. money
B. work
C. newspaper.
D. book.
5. In the writer’s opinion, __________.
A. more credit cards should be used in our daily life
B. we should work hard to make more money
C. money should help us live better
D. saving money is very easy
6. Why did the writer feel happy with the money spent with his family?
A. Because the money is spent on food.
B. Because the money is spent in doing something fun.
C. Because eating is what he wanted for his life.
D. Because the money went toward something that he wanted for his life.
(C)

8. Tom lives in a city, goes to work by subway, flies on planes once a year, uses 15 hours of electricity a day,

You’re running late for work and you can’t find your keys. What really makes you angry is that your search, you pick up and move them without realizing. This may be because the brain systems dealing with the task are working at high speed, and the visual system(视觉系统) is unable to keep step. So says Grayden Solman at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
To study how we search, Solman’s team created a simple computer-based task about searching through many colored shapes on a computer screen. V olunteers were asked to find a certain shape as quickly as possible, while the computer monitored(监控) their actions. “Between 10 and 20 percent of the time, they would miss the object,” says Solman, even they picked it up. “We thought that was quite often.”
To find out why, the team developed a number of further experiments. To check whether volunteers were just forgetting their object, they gave a new group a list of things to remember before the search task, which they had to recall(回忆) afterwards.
The idea was to fill each volunteer’s “memory load(负荷)”, so that they were unable to hold any other information in their short-term memory. Although this was expected to have a bad effect on their performance at the search task, the extra load made no difference to the percentage of mistakes volunteers made.
To check that the volunteers were paying enough attention to the things they were moving, Solman’s team created another task about a lot of cards marked with shapes that can only be seen while the card was being moved. Again, they were surprised to see the same level of mistakes, says Solman.
Solman’s team think that the system in the brain that deals with movement is running too quickly for the visual system to keep up. While you are searching a messy house to find your keys, you might not be giving your visual system enough time to work out what each object is.
10. In your search for your keys, the surprising fact is that __________.
A. It’s your anger that makes it hard to find them
B. you have really found them but without noticing
C. The brain systems are always working well
D. the visual system is always going wrong
11. In all the experiments, Solman’s team find that __________.
A. It’s more difficult for volunteers to recall afterwards
B. “momery load” has affected their performance much
C. different volunteers may make different mistakes
D. volunteers always have the same level of mistakes
12. If we want to find our keys quickly, we should __________.
A. improve our short-term memory by doing different tasks
B. pay enough attention to the things that are moving
C. give visual system enough time to keep up with the brain
D. slow the system in the brain that deals with movement
13. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. The reason why we can’t find our keys.
B. The way that the brain deals with the task.
C. The experiments Solman’s team has done.
D. The mistakes that volunteers have made.
