Passage 8

It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that 　1 　less than three minutes.

Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered, 　2　 you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by 　3　 these simple tips:

Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to 　4　 . Avoid technical　 5　 or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.

Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their　 6　 of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a 　7　 picture so they can better understand your words.

Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary 　8　 in your speech to a minimum amount.

Humor can be an effective way to　 9　 your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen 　10　 , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are　 11　 to.

Your speech will probably either inform or　 12　 your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.

Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see 　13　 you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you 　14　 and feel more comfortable.

Make sure to speak a little louder than 　15　 conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire 　16　 , not just the first few rows.

When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to 　17　 your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.

You can arrange to have helpful visual aids 　　18　 before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and 　19　 later.

Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to　 20　 the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.

19. A研究者称，虽然伙伴式的爱情在很多夫妇看来是成功爱情关系的自然发展()阶段，但它实际上可能是一种不必要的妥协。改变(change)，结果(results)，选择(choice)不能表达这样的意思。

18. B这个发现或许会改变人们对长期关系的一般预期(expectations)，观点(views)看上去对，但是这儿不强调人们对爱情的认识，而是能在多大程度上让自己满意，这就是期望或预期，更不是评论(remarks)和陈述(statements)。

17. D有时(就是有些情况下 in some cases)还会导致爱情中的冲突。Environments往往指的是自然环境，state说的是物体所处的物理状态。Air是空气和气氛，明显不符合逻辑。
