I had never nticed her. She was nt the kind f girl wh culd draw attentin. She was nt tall and just lked 23 . In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading r taking ntes. One day I asked her t read alud the text. When I heard her standard American prnunciatin, I lked at her with new eyes. And I 24 her name — Kelly. Later n, the Natinal Cllege Speech Cmpetitin wuld be held. One student in ur schl was allwed t attend. I thught it ver and filled in her name.
Kelly practiced hard fr the cmpetitin. Hwever, I was a little wrried because she was always t 25 . Culd she d well in the cmpetitin?
On the night f the cmpetitin, I sat in the frnt rw f the hall very early. I tld her t take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nthing. It seemed she was really 26 .

Sure enugh, N. 8 was very 27 . The whle audience made warm applause ( 鼓 掌 ) almst every 30 secnds and was still talking abut his speech with 28 until Kelly appeared n the stage.

The strng sptlight and large hall made her s small that nbdy seemed t ntice she had been n the stage. I felt hpeless.
But the mment that 29 me came. I clearly heard a vice, a very lud vice, “Nw, please fcus n me.” Three times in all, luder and luder. The whle audience fell silent.
I culd 30 believe that lud vice came frm the girl, wh was usually sft-viced and didn’t catch attentin at all. She gave a perfect speech.

Ever since I was a child, my muth has caused me truble. I’m nt a bad persn; I have a hard time learning when t keep my muth clsed.
My mm has tld me again and again, “Rbert, yur cnstant bad wrds are hurting me.

At the end f the discussin, I said srry t Nathan.

Giving presentatins is a challenging, but imprtant part f educatin. A presentatin is the key t making yur message clear, whether yu are in an interview r giving a talk in frnt f the class. A well-prepared and practiced presentatin can imprve yur cnfidence dramatically. On presentatin day, there are sme ways yu can take t ensure that yu perfrm well.
Practice the presentatin. Befre presentatin, it can be helpful t practice n yur wn. While yu are practicing yur presentatin, d yur best t wrk n memrizing what yu want t say, and when yu want t say it. Yur presentatin will be a lt better if yu aren’t cnstantly lking dwn at nte cards r searching a piece f paper t figure ut what yu want t say next.
Cntrl yur nerves. There are a few things yu can d befre the presentatin t help calm yur nerves — many f which yu can even d right at yur desk. Try breathing deeply; silently repeating affirmatins (such as “I can d this.”); r using psitive visualizatin (imagine yurself giving yur presentatin successfully and kncking it ut f the park). These strategies can help yu settle yur nerves and g int yur presentatin feeling calm and cllected.
Speak slwly and enunciate (发音) clearly. If yu have practiced enugh, this shuldn’t be difficult; hwever, sme peple talk t quickly and t quietly when they get nervus. Try t remind yurself t talk slwly and ludly enugh s everyne can hear yu. If yu’re using an electrnic presentatin, yu can use each new slide as a chance t stp fr a few secnds and recgnize whether yu are speaking slwly and ludly enugh fr everyne t hear.
Engage the audience. Whether yu’ve gt a ne-n-ne talk r a speech in frnt f 400 peple, think “strytelling”. Smetimes all it takes is a few secnds t cnnect an audience member with a stry, accrding t Eric English, a cmmunicatin teacher at the University f Pittsburgh in the US. Try t lk arund the rm and make eye cntact with varius listeners fr a few secnds. If yu are able t make eye cntact fr a few secnds with several different peple ver the curse f yur presentatin, yu will be giving the impressin that yu are relaxed and cnfident. Dn’t frget t smile!
If yu want t get peple’s attentin, yu shuld .

D
Everywhere I lk utside my hme I see peple busy n their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shpping, and even sitting in tilets. When cnnected electrnically, they are away frm physical reality.
Peple have been influenced t becme technlgy addicted. One survey reprted that “addicted” was the wrd mst cmmnly used by peple t describe their relatinship with iPads and similar devices. One study fund that peple had a harder time resisting the allure f scial media than they did fr sleep, cigarettes, and alchl.
The main gal f technlgy cmpanies is t get peple t spend mre mney and time n their prducts, nt t actually imprve ur quality f life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Cnsumers willingly give up their freedm, mney, and time t catch up n the latest infrmatin, t keep pace with their peers, r t appear mdern.
I see peple trapped in a pathlgical (病态的) relatinship with time-sucking technlgy, where they serve technlgy mre than technlgy serves them. I call this technlgy servitude. I am referring t a lss f persnal freedm and independence because f uncntrlled cnsumptin f many kinds f devices that eat up time and mney.
What is a healthy use f technlgy devices? That is the vital questin. Wh is really in charge f my life? That is what peple need t ask themselves if we are t have any chance f breaking up false beliefs abut their use f technlgy. When we can live happily withut using s much technlgy fr a day r a week, then we can regain cntrl and persnal freedm, becme masters f technlgy, and discver what there is t enjy in life free f technlgy. Mae West is famus fr prclaiming the wisdm that “t much f a gd thing is wnderful.” But it’s time t discver that it des nt wrk fr technlgy.
Richard Fernandez, an executive cach at Ggle acknwledged that “we can be swept away by ur technlgies.” T break the grand digital cnnectin peple must cnsider hw life lng ag culd be fantastic withut tday’s verused technlgy.
The underlined wrd “allure” in Paragraph 2 prbably means .
A. advantageB. attractinC. adaptinD. attempt
Frm the passage, technlgy cmpanies aim t .
A. attract peple t buy their prductsB. prvide the latest infrmatin
C. imprve peple’s quality f lifeD. deal with cultural diseases
It can be inferred frm this passage that peple .
cnsider t much technlgy wnderful
have realized the harm f high-tech devices
can regain freedm withut high-tech devices
may enjy life better withut verused technlgy
What’s the authr’s attitude twards the veruse f high-tech devices?
A. Apprving.B. Dubtful.C. Disapprving.D. Neutral.
