【題目】

Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever i1.

The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's i2of childhood is magical —a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

More importantly, t3the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example. Tom hates going to churchand Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion(宗教)and i4old traditions.

Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical(批判的)points about c5and politics(政治),That's why he is so loved in the US. He wasn't a6to state his opinions,and he did so clearly.

He a7believed strongly in women's—right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject,called "Votes for Women",in 1901.

"Tom was a great hero once more—the pet of the old,the envy of the young," Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.

【題目】

People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have found that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.

1. Facial Expressions

Your facial expression can _______ your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly; just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.

2. Volume

If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too _______, it'll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you're shouting.

3. Pace

The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak _______ than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.

4. Gestures

Gesturing can affect the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you _______.

5. Movement

If you're feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more _______.
