14、cy. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn“t wake her mother, so she dialed “zero“, An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided. Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young a
15、s two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned w
16、ell, is better than difficult information only partly learned. Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial “zero“ for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial “911“ if it is used in your town. Practice over a period of several days. Ov
17、er-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.

Crea
21、ting your presentation with your audience in mind will assure that your audience will follow you. If your presentation doesn“t appeal to your audienceno matter how well you have developed your presentationyour presentation will fall on deaf ears. This leads us to the next rule: Know your material th
22、oroughly. Your material needs to be second nature to you. Practice and rehearse your presentation with friends, in front of a mirror, and with colleagues. If you are speaking in a second language, make sure that you record yourself and listen to a number of times before going to practice with a nati
23、ve speaker (if possible). Remember that you are an actor when presenting. Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate to the occasion, but also the tone you use is well chosen. If your topic is serious, be solemn. However, it“s always a good idea to begin your presentation with a
24、n ice-breaker. Don“t worry about making friends, rather lead the audience through your materials in a calm and relaxed manner. Speak slowly and clearly, and remember to address everyone in the audience-even the person the farthest away from you. To achieve the above goals follow these tips when givi
25、ng your presentation: Speak with conviction. Believe what you are saying and you will persuade your audience. Do not read from notes. Referring to notes is fine, but do so only briefly. Maintain eye contact with your audience. Making direct eye contact with individuals will help them feel as if they
26、 are participating in your presentation. Bring handouts. Don“t just use a PowerPoint presentation. Provide audience members with handouts of the most important materials so they can keep your most important takeaways in mind. Know when to stop. This cannot be underestimated. You need to make your ca
27、se, but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said.（分数：12.00）(1).What is the most important thing to remember when making a presentation?（分数：3.00）A.Match your presentation to the needs of your audience.B.Make sure to wear your best clothes.C.Bring detailed
28、handouts.D.Know your material thoroughly.(2).What should you do before your practice in a second language?（分数：3.00）A.Take photos of you presenting.B.Record yourself presenting.C.Read through your presentation.D.Read aloud to your foreign friends.(3).Why should you know when to stop?（分数：3.00）A.Becaus
29、e you need rest.B.Because audience may fall asleep.C.Because you may be tired for talking too long.D.Because it can make audience remember what you said.(4).Handouts are important because _.（分数：3.00）A.they have your contact information written on themB.they contain the key takeaways of your presenta
30、tionC.they provide pictures for the audience to look atD.they can be used for audience to take notes七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The winter in Iceland has been one of the worst ever.

31、now living in a hidden bay. When Keiko was one or two years old, he was captured. This was in 1979. In 1982 he was moved to an amusement part in Ontario, Canada. Three years later another park took him to Mexico City. There, the 6.4-meter (21-foot) whale lived in a small pen with water that was too
32、warm. In 1993 the “Free Willy“ movie made people aware of his state. In 1996 the Free Willy Keiko Foundation moved him to a pool in an aquarium in Newport, Oregon. The foundation has spent over $12 million to return Keiko to Iceland, his home. Late last year the 40,000-pound (18,100-kilogram) whale
33、was flown on a C-17 transport plane to pen near the Wesman Islands. Critics thought Keiko would suffer in the cold water. Instead, he is enjoying the cold and becomes more active. He likes to jump out of the water to get sprayed by the salt spray. Since his return, he acts more like a wild whale. He
34、 dives more often, eats more live fish, and is more active. Keiko still isn“t ready to go out alone into the open sea. Trainers hope to put him in a larger bay. They also hope to train him to follow a boat. They don“t know what Keiko will do when he meets other sea animals. So far the only animals w
35、ho have come near Keiko“s cage left when they saw him. They would like to let Keiko free this summer. No one knows if he will be ready.

39、f stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system.

40、 affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.

41、y may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems.
