Many people have a fear(害怕) of public speaking. According to a study, it has an influence on 3 in every 4 people. This fact is surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.

Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. Don’t write details. Put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. Don’t look at your note cards for a long time while speaking. If necessary, you’re only going to have a quick look at the card for information, not read every word.

Smile at your class. When it comes time to speak, there’s nothing that draws your class into your speech than a good old-fashioned smile. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they didn’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infections. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That will make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.

Make eye contact. Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you’re communicating with them. Also, you know you’ll look like what you’re talking about.

Use hand motions. Move your hands along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.

科目：初中英語 來源：2016屆江蘇無錫市錫山區(qū)東亭片九年級上學期期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：完形填空

完形填空 先通讀下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后從下面四個答案中選擇可以填入相應空白處的最佳答案。

My mother used to say things just to make me . Like most teenagers, I thought I knew . And what I didn’t know, I didn’t want to . For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would roll（轉(zhuǎn)動）her eyes. On my way out, she’d shout: “You need to slow yourself down before something happens! You don’t want to learn that the hard way!” I didn’t know what that . I thought she just wanted me to stay home.

Many years later I had three teenagers my own. They thought they knew everything. I would say the same things to them my mom. That’s when I first saw it. My mother wasn’t trying to make me stay at home. She was trying to help me.

Why do we always have to learn things “the hard way”? Why can’t we just accept our wisdom? It’s a good lesson for anyone. Obviously(顯然)，I still haven’t learned it. Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone in the kitchen. Grabbing(抓) a towel, I ran the house. I grabbed the phone and hit my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I’d broken two toes.

We all need to slow ourselves down once in a while, before something bad does it for us. My mother was right about a lot of things. I wish I could have told her.

1.A. mad B. happy C. worried D. warm

2.A. nothing B. everything C. something D. anything

3.A. tell B. be told C. ask D. be asked

4.A. bad B. good C. well D. badly

5.A. mean B. means C. meant D. meaning

6.A. at B. in C. on D. of

7.A. like B. likes C. liked D. liking

8.A. elder B. elders C. elders’ D. elderly

9.A. ring B. rings C. rang D. ringing

10.A. over B. on C. through D. across
