A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends，” he said， “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money， you still wanted it because it did not go down in value （价值）。 It was still worth ￥ l00！”
Many times in our lives， we are dropped， crum-pled， and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember， no matter what has happened to you， you will never lose your value： you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn‘t come from what you do or whom you know， but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don‘t ever forget it！

配对阅读。左栏是对5个学生做演讲时存在问题的描述，请在右栏为每个学生选择一个合适的建议，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。

1.Paul: I don’t think I can talk fluently(流利) because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words. 2.Billy: When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? 3.Amy: When I am talking, I can’t help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this. 4.Betty: I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. 5.Tony: Should I talk in American English or British English?

A．Looking at and talking to one person in the audience helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one. B．The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停顿) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying. C．Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to listen to a relatively(相对) deep voice. D．When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words and read or recite them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points. E. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways. Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their terms and in their languages. F. Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手势),you will feel uncomfortable. G. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to.
