Public speaking is a common cause of stress for everyone.The idea of standing in front of a large group with all eyes on you can make you feel fearful in almost all kinds of situation, for example giving a presentation in class, proposing a toast at dinner or making a workrelated presentation.It seems to be a fear that's impossible to overcome.If you have ever experienced this, you know while the anxiety may develop at the actual event, it is a feeling that begins much earlier than the actual day.There are many ways you can work on your confidence and prepare yourself for a public speaking event.
A consultant specializing (专门研究) in presentation skills can help you to overcome your sense of panic.Working with a consultant does not indicate that you have a major problem; it is only an approach to receiving guidance on relaxation strategies, such as deep breathing, which can help you deal with public speaking problems with ease.
Consultants can also help you work on your confidence.Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.Even wellestablished public speakers practice techniques such as meditation (沉思冥想) to calm themselves before a public appearance.
It's well worth the time and effort to overcome the fear of public speaking, particularly if talks and presentations are part of your work description.Keep in mind that many of those around you are also struggling with this fear of public speaking.It will help you to become an able speaker if you can prepare beforehand.For example, you can put in time on planning your presentation in detail and practicing it many times in secret.As you get more and more familiar with your material, you'll be able to finetune (微调) the details of your presentation and this will make you a confident speaker.Your speech will become excellent in terms of style and content.
Remember that the more you get into this pattern of feeling good about yourself, the stronger you will feel about approaching events when you have to make a speech.You can also work on physical details such as adjusting your tone (音调) before the presentation by doing some warmup exercises.
In a word, believing in yourself and presenting yourself well can help you deeply impress your audience.And after a few speeches you'll notice yourself overcoming the sense of panic that you now feel in public speaking situations.

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U. S.
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education，and a few precautions(预防措施) ，the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can't have access to the Internet，we're cutting them off from their future，”said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites，and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a“content screener(过滤器)”. But this can't be wholly reliable(可靠的)，and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览)the Internet.
A few other tips：
· Don't put the PC in a child's room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
· Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.
·Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
· And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet online over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
1.The best way to protect children from improper material is ________.
A. to install(安装) a content screener on the computer
B. to buy some search engines for the children
C. to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet
D. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong

A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.
B. Children's not having access to Internet may have an effect on their progress.
C. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.
D. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.
3.According to the passage，we can infer that ________.

Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.
In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents，” the report says. However，not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point：automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.
Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general，women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming(where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington，D. C. where their insurance costs are 16% lower.
“More than 11, 900 male drivers died in U．S.traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers，” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, VS 1.7 deaths for women. ”

Why do some parents tend to hold back their disabled children from experiencing life? Even when they are grown, the parents will not allow certain things to happen. It's true that they do have a certain amount of responsibility in protecting their severely disabled adult children, but at what point do they become overly protective?
Parents want to create a safe haven, a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved children. This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability, but it can have a side effect. When protecting their children from suspected hardships, not wanting anything bad to happen to them, they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them.
In life we all make mistakes, it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character. Parents may feel that in certain instances their children will get hurt or mistreated in some way, so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter. However, the disabled, yes even the “severely disabled” deserve to make personal mistakes as well. Even more, they have the right to succeed.
Parents should do everything and anything within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat “normal”life. Parents should help their children，not hold them down. This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them.
Whatever it may be, let them at least try. If they want to attend college, so be it.Parents should find out all they can, and be involved in every detail. If they want to date and someday marry, so be it. Don't shut them out and from bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid.Unite as a family and make it work.
1.What side effect will it have when the parents overprotect their disabled children?
A. Their children will never grow up in the future.
B. Their children will find no shelter when they grow up.
C. Their children will become less confident when facing troubles.
D. Their children will less likely meet with good things.
2.What attitude does the author hold towards the parents who overprotect their disabled children?
A. Supportive. B. Objective.
C. Critical. D. Uninterested.
3.Which of the following arguments does the author agree with?
A. Personal mistakes won't help the disabled children succeed.
B. Parents shouldn't hold their disabled children back but help them.
C. Parents shouldn't let their disabled children lead a normal life.
D. Disabled children won't strengthen their character by mistakes.
4.The suggestions in the last paragraph imply that ________.
A. parents should be a bridge, not a brick wall
B. parents should act as their children's best friends
C. parents should encourage their children to get married
D. parents should live in harmony with their disabled children
Here's something to consider：A recent study conducted by the
University of Michigan's
Transportation Research Institute found more teens are delaying getting their driver's licenses.
Teens and young adults would rather surf the Web and stay connected via smartphones and computers, than get out of the house.
A University of Michigan study found 31 percent of 16yearolds had driver's licenses in 2008, compared to 46 percent in 1983.
The trend was also found in other age groups. For example, among 18yearolds, the percentage with licenses dropped from 80 percent in 1983 to 65 percent in 2008.
Once, the great American teen dream was to own a car and leave mom and dad and hang out with friends. Not so much anymore.
Here's what Michael Sivak, a research professor involved in the university's study said, “It is possible that the availability of virtual contact through electronic means reduces the need for actual contact among young people. Besides, some young people feel that driving interferes with (干扰) texting and other electronic communication.”
Some other reasons young people aren't anxious to get behind the wheel: Many schools no longer offer driver training courses, so getting a license costs more. And graduated license requirements limit how many passengers a young person can carry, and the hours he or she can drive.
Much of this downturn happened before the Great Recession (不景气) began in 2008, so the costs of gas and car ownership cannot be pointed to as a cause.
There's no sign young people will do without car ownership as they get older, but even if deals are delayed a few years, there will be an effect on the economy. America is a country that depends greatly on the car.
And America has always been a country characterized by its willingness to be mobile, to head for places unexplored, to just get up and go.
Now, it seems we're willing to stay in and stare at a display while tapping out thoughts and messages. Inperson interactivity is slowly being exchanged for Webbased interactivity.
What's really been lost is a sense of curiosity and adventure. How sad.
1.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Webbased interactivity is on the rise among teens
B. More young adults seldom get out of the house
C. Getting a license costs much more than before
D. Desire for freedom of road decreases in young
2.Michael Sivak mainly explains ________.
A. the differences between virtual contact and actual contact
B. the harmful effects of using electronic communication
C. why more teens are delaying getting their driver's
licenses
D. why more young people show much interest in driving
3.The trend's influence on America's economy can be described as ________.
A. beneficial B. negative
C. slight D. surprising
4.From the passage, we can infer that in the past Americans generally ________.
A. used mobile phone wherever they were
B. loved to go to unknown places
C. spent more time on the Internet
D. depended less on the car
