Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Those words made Zhao Juan think: in what w  小题4:   can we help people better? “Every person does something to give out positive energy(正能量). And before we give a helping hand, we should find out what they r  小题5:   want,” Zhao Juan said to the Qilu Evening News.

About 150 years ago, the person who sent the letter did not have to pay. The person who got the letter had to pay the postage (邮资) which cost a lot.
　　In a small village in England, “Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said a mailman. “I’m Alice Brown,” a girl of about eighteen said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.
　　Alice looked at the envelope(信封) for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman.
　　“I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage.”
　　The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter.
　　When the gentleman gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Oh, thank you very much, sir. This letter is from my brother who went to London to look for jobs. I’ve waited a long time for this letter, but now I don’t need it. I don’t have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside.”
　　“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise. “How do you know that?” “He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope. Look, sir, this cross in the corner means that he is well, and this circle means he has found a job. That’s very good news.”
　　The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill. He did not forget Alice and her letter.
　　He thought and thought for many years. “The postage has to be much lower,” he said at last. “What about a penny (便士) for a letter? And the person who sends the letter pays the postage. He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope.”
　　The government decided to adopt (采纳) the plan. The first stamp was put out in 1840. It was called the “Penny Black”. It had a picture of the Queen on it.

There is an old saying: Like father like son. Here is a story about it．
Once there was a father and a son. They were ill-tempered (坏脾气) and never gave a way to others. One day his father decided to 小题1:              some friends to dinner. He asked his son to buy some meat in town．When the son got what his father wanted, he turned back小题2:               walked towards the town gate. Just then, a man was coming from outside. The gate wasn’t 小题3:                enough to let two men in and小题4:           at the same time. But 小题5:                  of them would give way to the other. They stood face 小题6:                 face inside the gate hour after hour. Waited for a long time, his father was worried, “What shall I do? My son hasn’t returned yet. I can’t wait any 小题7:          .” He wanted to know what was the matter with his son. So he小题8:             his friends at home and went to town to look for his son.
“You may take the 小题9:             home for my friends. Let me stand here against him 小题10:         ,” he said to his son when he knew what had happened. What do you think of the father? If everyone teaches their children in this way, there will be no peace in the world．

Today we make a survey about the popularity of computer games among middle school students. Half of male students in our class like playing computer games very much. Though our teachers and their parents tell them not to play games any more again and again, they play the computer games daily and they don’t go to school. They spend a lot of time playing computer games each time, so they often ask their parents for money or borrow money from their classmates. Some students even use mobile phones to play the games in class. They don’t listen to the teacher carefully and usually forget to do their homework. I think it’s really bad for their lessons.
Playing computer games wastes money and it is also bad for students’ health and study. So I hope those who have got the habit of playing computer games could give it up as soon as possible．

Jack’s brother bought a magazine called Choice. It introduces to its readers information about all kinds of products like cameras, computers, cars, etc. This information helps them make the best choice when they buy something.
Jack borrowed his brother’s magazine when he needed a new computer. “I’ll read about all the different computers,” he said, “And I’ll choose the best one.”
ThinkPad G450M-T4300: This computer comes with lots of good software. However it does not have much memory and is rather slow. At $3,600, it’s not very good value for money.
HP CQ40-506AX: This is the most expensive computer we tasted. However it is also the most
reliable(值得信赖的). It is very fast and has lots of memory. Though it’s 600 dollars more expensive than ThinkPad G450M-T4300, it is worth the extra money if you can afford it.
The Acer A175-78: At only $2,600, this is the cheapest computer we tasted. It has plenty of memory and is quite fast. However, it “crashed” twice while we were testing it and we cannot recommend(推荐) it for reliability.
Jack choose HP CQ40-506AX. “I know it’s expensive, brother,” he said. “But it will last me a long time and do everything I want it to do.”
