人教版英语必修5 第三单元测评(含听力音频)
One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn't actually in the room with her. I wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn't see.
Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart phones. These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter's smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as "the cloud", where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.
Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.
Don't let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on.
Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. But when it can't, turn it off.
A. That was a long time ago.
B. Connect offline as well as online.
C. Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.
D. We should communicate with each other with phones off.
E. When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.
F. However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.
G. When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.
A. You aren't like anybody else B. You already do lots of things well C. Turn your back on too many rules D. Practise speaking whenever possible E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough F. The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse |
Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
