2015-2016上学年高一英语限时训练（第16周）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
The fear of speaking before a group is considered as only second to the fear of snakes and before the fear of dying. The main reason is that they fear looking foolish in front of other people. Several steps can be used to reduce the fear: be well prepared before speaking to a group; practice your speech; reduce the fear of audience（听众）.
One of the best ways to make sure you don’t make foolish mistakes is to be well prepared. First, you need to know clearly what you are going to talk about, that is, to have a good outline (概要) of information you’ll talk about rather than memorize what you plan to say. Second, it is good to know what type of audience you will be speaking to. Your tone or words will be different when making a speech to important people or to common friends. Besides, it is good to check over the conditions. If you can, you can check things over and get a feel for them. If you will use a microphone, check it out.
You should practice your speech many times before you give it. The more you give a talk, the more confidence you have to give the speech. There are some pieces of advice. Practice alone. You can simply say the speech out loud. This is good to help you memorize. Use a mirror. You can look into a mirror when saying the speech. This will help you get an idea of how you look when speaking.
Trying saying your speech while standing in the corner is also good because you can know how you sound when you speak. Or you can practice using a tape recorder. At last, practicing before friends will get you closer to the “real world” of speaking to a group. Even an audience of one person is good for this type of practice.
1. According to the passage, what people are afraid of most is ______.
A. dying B. speaking in front of a group C. snakes D. making mistakes
2. To be well prepared before speaking to a group, you should do all the following EXCEPT ______.
A. knowing about the condition of the place where you speak
B. knowing about whom you will speak to
C. knowing about the main idea of what you will talk about
D. memorizing every word that you are going to say
3. If you want to know about how you feel before the audience, you will be advised to practice speaking _____.
A. by using a mirror B. by standing in the corner
C. by recording your voice D. by finding a real listener
4. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Whom you can get to help you practice your speech.
B. How to reduce the fear of your audience.
C. Why people are afraid to make public speeches.
D. How to reduce the mistakes you might make during the speech.

Most of us lead a busy life. 1 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?
Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 2 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”
Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. 3 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 4 As WayneLawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 5
A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
C. Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life.
D. So please treasure relationship.
E. You don’t need to travel far to find beauty.
F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.
