People can’t see you when you’re speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.

1. Facial Expressions

Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.

2. Volume

If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it’ll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you’re shouting.

3. Pace

The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it’ll make it easier for the other person to understand you.

4. Gestures

Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you’re doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!

5. Movement

If you’re feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.

6. Pauses (停顿)

Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it’ll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker’s feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, “I... am... so... angry...”

1.How much of telephone communication is from the words you use?

A. 20%. B. 40%. C. 60%. D. 80%.

2.What can people do to reduce their nervousness on the phone?

A. Gesture wildly. B. Move around. C. Raise their voices. D. Make facial expressions.

3.How can pauses help people talk on the phone?

A. The speaker can show he is friendly. B. The speaker can tell more information.

C. The listener will feel confident and in control. D. The listener will have time to understand the words.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to control the speed of your speech. B. Different good ways of talking on the phone.

C. Reasons of making gestures while talking. D. How to improve communication among friends.

5.What is the writer’s opinion about telephone talk?

A. Your voice on the phone will show what you’re feeling.

B. Using too many pauses while talking will annoy others.

C. Speaking loudly makes it easier for others to understand you.

D. The words you use are more important than the way you speak.

Dear Sunday Globe,

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette (礼仪).

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive (灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face-to-face conversations from ever beginning.

Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.

Yours truly,

Amber Jala

1.Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________ .

A. find a good job B. provide advice

3.According to Paragraph 3, what makes people around you uncomfortable?

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

B. It is easy to start a company with others.

Many years ago, a French naturalist, Comte de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics(批评家)did not like them.

Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders(奇观)of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if(好像)they were unimportant.

This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician(政治家). He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.

In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word—belittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic(大西洋).”

Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle—to make small, unimportant.”

Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle(独立纪事报)used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”

In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle shouldn’t become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”

This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.

1.Thomas Jefferson was NOT a ______.

A. naturalist B. historian C. politician D. musician

2.We can infer(推断)that Jefferson created the word “belittle” out of his ______.

A. anger B. excitement C. kindness D. responsibility

3.What can we know about the word “belittle” from the passage?

A. It has already disappeared from the English language.

B. It had been used before it was put in the English language dictionary.

C. It is used to describe natural wonders now.

D. An American politician decided to kill this word in 1872.

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. How the word “belittle” came into being. B. The argument about natural wonders.

C. Every word has a long history behind. D. Noah Webster supported Jefferson’s idea.
