Good presentation skills are important for having an impact on your audience and getting your message across. Some presentation skills in particular—like listening to your audience, using humor and maintaining eye contact—can help a lot. 1.
●Know what the needs of your audience are. 2. Thoroughly understand your material, and then put it in a logical order. Make sure your speech keeps your audience's attention.
●3. During the presentation, you will want to highlight your strengths. Dress appropriately, and make sure you look relaxed and calm. Speak at an appropriate speed, and show appropriate emotion. This can help you to establish a good relationship with the audience.
●Remember your body language. 4. How you walk, move and stand can all be seen by your audience, and can help convey your message. Thus, you should pay attention to your body language during the presentation.
●Speak as if you believe what you are saying. When you speak with confidence, your audience is much more likely to believe what you have to say. You should speak loudly and clearly, and address your audience directly. 5.
These presentation tips will help you make a good presentation.
A. You should sound confident, and if you make an error, just apologize and move on.
B. Here are some other good tips for improving presentation skills.
C. During the presentation, you can match your presentation's content to those needs.
D. Try to make eye contact with several audience members.
E. Know your strong and weak points.
F. Body language is important, yet often overlooked.
G. Know when to stop talking.
Bigger isn’t always better. People who are skeptical about this argument just need to look at personal computers. It is the continual shrinkage of components that have brought about the explosion of computing power and enabled these computers to be accessible to people across the world.
Inspired by this, researchers have been working on areas where making things small may mean big results. And this year, the Nobel Prize has challenged the convention of celebrating big by presenting the biggest prizes to discoveries on the smallest scales.
The committee presented the Nobel Prize for medicine to Yoshinori Ohsumi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, for his research on “autophagy”, which is a “self-eating” process seen in cells.
What’s more, in recognition of their working on the unique nature of matter in extreme states and taking their research all the way down to an atomic scale, the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to three British-born scientists who presently work in the US.
Another exceptional new field is that of nanotechnology（纳米技术）. The Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded to a scientist who managed to build the world’s tiniest machines out of molecules（分子）, including a nano-sized car, which are so small that they are not seen by the human eye.
Small as the subjects are, the benefits of the scientists’ research are set to be huge. More importantly, their inventions may even eventually be turned into products that benefit mankind.
Ohsumi’s research on “autophagy” shines a light on common diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes. As for the molecular motors, they’re preparing to bring huge potential to the fields of medicine and energy. “The ground-breaking discoveries in physics have lighted a firestorm of research, and it’s only a matter of time before their research leads to advances as unimaginable to us now as computer chips were a hundred years ago,” Laura H. Greene, president-elect of the American Physical Society told The New York Times.
1.The underlined word “shrinkage” in Paragraph 1 probably means .

2.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Nano-sized cars are now popular all over the world.
B. Ohsumi's research has helped cure some common diseases.
C. Three scientists have made a great breakthrough in atomic energy.
D. The Nobel Prize used to have a preference for findings on big scales.
3.What is Laura H. Greene’s attitude to the new discoveries in physics?
A. Positive B. Doubtful
C. Reserved D. Concerned.
4.What is the message the passage conveys?
A. Great minds think alike.
B. Small things make a big difference.
C. Many small streams make a great river.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I was really nervous about English class this year because I was an eleventh grader taking a twelfth grade class．I knew that I wouldn’t know anyone in the class，and that scared me a little．But since I didn’t know anyone，I had the chance to do something I love almost as much as socializing—people watching．
One of the most interesting girls in the class sat directly behind me．She was always laughing and talking，and she just seemed so happy．She was friendly，too—she was one of the very few people in the class who made any attempt to acknowledge me．
At the end of the year，we were assigned a big project．It was a very open-ended project，where the instructions were basically to read something，then read or watch something else that related to it，and then come up with a class presentation based on what you learned．
The presentations were spread out over the last month of schoo1．The girl behind me presented on one of the very last days．She got up in front of the class，and told how she had read about eating disorders，because she herself had struggled with one．Since it would have been too difficult for her to talk to us about it directly，she and a friend(who had also suffered from an eating disorder)had made a movie，where they interviewed each other about their eating disorders，how they had felt while they were struggling with them，and how they had overcome them．By the end of the presentation，almost everyone was in tears．
The most shocking thing about the whole presentation was how surprising it was．I never expected that she would have had a problem like that．She always seemed so happy and confident；it was hard to picture her counting calories because she thought she wasn’t good enough．
You also never know what kind of impact you have had on people’s lives．The courage of the girl behind me to talk about something so personal，and her strength to ask for help and overcome her problems have inspired me．
