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 frightened we become．In fact, public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent （天賦） ．Anybody who can talk can speak in public．Here are some of the lessons I have learned:

Try to make your idea clear and brief．If you can't express what you intend to get across in a sentence or two, and then your speech is not focused well enough．If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will make no sense．After all, what you can impress your audience in your speech is one or two of your main ideas．One or two．Not ten or twenty．

No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to organize it well-how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close．A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember．When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first．When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there．

Finally, you'd better limit the time of your speech as properly as you can to hold the audience's curiosity．Take a vaudeville act （雜耍） for example．The standard length of one is usually 12 minutes．Just imagine how you are feeling if you have been watching all the performers singing and dancing their hearts out for more than the standard time!

Few people realize that there is a big difference between formal English and informal English. Formal English is used for most writing, and often in public speaking and formal meetings. It pays close attention to grammar rules, because if we use proper grammar, our meaning is often more precise. Also, on important occasions, we do not want to appear uneducated or to offend (冒犯) others, so we are very careful about how we speak. Informal English is used in speaking or writing to our friends and family. It often does not pay such close attention to grammar rules, because when we speak or write to them, we want our words to flow quickly. Also, with our friends and family, we are usually not so worried about appearing uneducated or about offending them by how we write or speak.
A big difference between formal and informal English is the use of contractions. A contraction is where we make a word shorter or where we put two words together and take away some of the letters. For example, instead of saying “do not”, many people say “don’t”. Using contractions in our speech is fine because it sounds natural, especially when we speak to our friends. In formal writing, however, contractions are usually avoided because people might think that you have made a mistake, or that you do not know proper grammar.
In the same way we might make words shorter, in informal English we often make sentences shorter as well. For example, if someone asks you your name, you will likely answer with one word: your first name. However, in formal English we usually use complete sentences. For example, we might write “My name is John”. In most speaking, we may not need to use every word in a sentence because the person we are speaking to will probably still understand us. In most writing, however, every word in a sentence must be written out in order to make sure that we can be understood.
56. When we use formal English, _______.
A. we will offend others 
B. we will appear educated on important occasions
C. we needn’t pay more attention to grammar rules
D. we can express ourselves more directly and more quickly
57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “precise”?
A. simple                    B. direct                     C. puzzling                 D. clear
58. Contractions are best used when we are _______.
A. speaking at a formal meeting                        B. speaking to our friends
C. speaking in public                                              D. writing an application (申請(qǐng)) letter
59. In speaking, we do not always use complete sentences because ______.
A. we do not care about grammar                    B. we do not want to sound stupid
C. we can still be understood                              D. we don’t want to waste time

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年遼寧省葫蘆島一高高二上學(xué)期第一次月考英語(yǔ)試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why ? 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 listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech – “ I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumble（結(jié)巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on its 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 expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s 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．
【小題1】The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________．

A．be smarter than youB．notice your mistakes
C．do better than youD．know what you are talking about
【小題2】You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________．
A．your attention is on the content
B．you don’t fully understand the speech
C．you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
D．you find the way of speech-making more important
【小題3】It can be inferred from the passage that ___________．
A．giving a speech is like giving a performance
B．one to two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D．the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
【小題4】What would be the best title of the passage? 
A．How to Be a Perfect Speaker
B．How to Make a Perfect Speech
C．Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech
D．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年河北省高一年級(jí)期末考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.

So, you have to give a speech and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long and you bore your audience. Later you think,   “Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet. Give it a try and see what happens.

1. We can conclude from Paragraph 2 that many people     .
