We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. 1. In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.

How a speaker moves is important. Whole?body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.

2. But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.

With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. 3. The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.

4. When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.

5. Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.

A.So they usually have eye contact with the audience.

B.So they have trouble with eye contact.

C.An important part of public speaking is practice.

D.New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.

E.A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.

F.Improve your public speaking with body language.

G.Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

閱讀理解。

There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home.

On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “my physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn (撒滿) with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The King continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “Oh King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”

Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.

“The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.

“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty?handed into this world and empty?handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.

1.The first paragraph suggests that Alexander ________.

A.was conquering many kingdoms

B.realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all

C.wanted to leave as he came empty?handed

D.regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things

2.The underlined word “clutches” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

A.sentence B.a(chǎn)ttention

C.control D.shadow

3.The author intends to ________.

A.tell us the story of Alexander

B.introduce readers to the instructive lessons of Alexander

C.stress the power of Alexander the Great

D.persuade people to realize what Alexander said

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

B.The Greed of Alexander

C.Three Wishes of Alexander

D.The Life of Alexander
