Prepare: Plan ahead and think about what you are going to say. In the words of Mark Twain, it usually takes you more than three weeks to prepare for it.
Know your subject: Always make sure that you know the subject and have background information at hand for question time.
Know you audience: Find out who you will be addressing so that you can tailor(適合) your comments accordingly.
Make a point: Keep your speech short and brief and have a few clear points that you need to convey(傳達(dá)).
Practice: Never learn your speech by heart as your speech will become stilted, but do practice it a few times in front of the mirror, your parents or your dog.
Eye contact: If the thought of looking into a sea of faces scares you, adjust your gaze（注視）regularly at different points in the room to create the same effect.
First impressions: Your first impression is important when making a public presentation. Find out about dress codes(準(zhǔn)則) at the place so that you look your best and, if possible, check the microphone beforehand to ensure you know how to use it.
Get help: If public presentations are a major part of your life, read up on the art of speech---writing and delivery to improve your skills.

Dear Anne,

　　I write further to our conversation on the phone a few days ago. It was a great dialogue to talk to you on the phone last week. I hope things are well for you. Unfortunately, things really haven't changed here at all. He is still not helping me in the house. By the time I get in from work, it's 5:45 p. m. Then I've got to prepare and cook the evening meal, clear away and wash the dishes. Even then I am still not free, as I've got to do some homework then. I don't sleep until around half past nine, by which time I am very tired of course, while I am doing all these things, Steve sits in front of the TV and boils a cup of coffee for only himself. When I ask him to help, he just says that it is none of his business ! I feel I can't go on like this. I've only been married for four months, but I feel like a life time.

　　Sorry, the letter's been one long complaint(抱怨)—I'll write again soon with some interesting news if I have any.

Yours ever

M. Atherton

Dear College Dean
It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to enhance (improve) the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of this school to promote education and to be in the vanguard of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.
We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.
While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Students are asked to create PowerPoint presentations and use spreadsheets and database programs, as well as to research many topics on the Internet. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning, giving students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find.
If there are more computers, students will also be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.
The more computers are used in society the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life
68．The purpose of the author in writing the passage is__________
A．to describe the problems caused by lack of computers
B．to explain why students are in great need of computers
C．to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers
D．to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers
69．From the passage we can infer that______
A．present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students
B．computers in the college will be updated to meet the student’s demands soon
C．the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future
D．it is also necessary to expand the college bookstore by using part of the donation
70．In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that_______
A．computers are beneficial to students’ academic success
B．computers are helpful to student’s competition for success
C．students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers
D．students wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers
71．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP: Central Point     P: Point    SP: Sub-point（次要點(diǎn)）    C: Conclusion

Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at the school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues like unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country. So what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on child’s character as what is learned by experience. As most of the pupils’ time is spent in classes study lessons, the ordinary day school can’t give many practical training for their lives in the future. So it is how the pupils do in the spare time that really prepare them to take their places in society as citizens when they grow up. Unless each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it naturally to work for the good of his country instead only for his own benefit.
