Whether you’re a student, an adult in the business world, or just looking to grow your skills, becoming an expert in public presenting is an ability you want to perfect. ____1____
Practice makes perfect. Practice, practice, and more practice. There’s a reason why professional sports players spend hours in practicing. The more you practice, the better you will be. ____2____ Make sure you know the presentation inside and out and can answer any questions your audience may ask.
Know the material. If you’re not an expert on the content in your presentation, it will be much harder to feel comfortable when explaining it to your audience. It may also lead to a lack of confidence which will translate to an underwhelming (印象浅的) delivery. ____3____ The more you know, the less you have to practice and the more natural your presentation will seem.
____4____ If you’re not speaking to an audience that cares about your topic, then they will still tune you out. Knowing your audience can make your presentation. You should be aware of what they plan to get out of your presentation and deliver that. Once you have knowledge of what your audience wants, you can tailor your presentation to them.
Have a Plan B．Lastly, and probably the most important, you should ALWAYS have a backup plan. ___5___ Your computer might run out of battery or the projector might blow a bulb. In any case, it is important to have some type of plan in case of emergency.
A．Know your audience.
B．Unexpected things will happen.
C．Share your own story with the audience.

People are taught how to speak, but good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary words won’t always lead to being understood or understanding others._______6_______
The good news is that it’s never too late to learn how to communicate more effectively. The first step is to realize you’ re having communication issues._______7_______The following is a list of the top three signs that you need to learn healthier communication skills.
You have the same fights over and over.
Your fights are about the same topic again and again. If this is happening, it means you don’t yet have the skills to resolve conflicts._______8_______The fight may end, but it’s only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again. When you learn how to resolve conflicts, issues don’t pile up or become baggage that weighs down your relationship.
_______9_______
You don’t want to fight so you try not to bring up subjects that lead only to pain and disconnection. The problem is that avoiding them leads to pain and disconnection anyway. Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending.
You regularly feel misunderstood or unheard.
No matter how hard you try, you don’t feel understood. Perhaps your partner has expressed the same feeling.Over time the disconnected feeling does damage to your relationship. It’s important to learn how to communicate in a better way, so that both you and the other person feel heard and understood._______10_______To be heard, your partner will need to learn how to listen. For you, to be able to hear your partner, you will need to do the same.
A．You avoid discussing certain topics.
B．You argue with your partners about some issues.
C．If you can’t resolve issues, they will continue to show up.
D．This requires more than just speaking to your partner or vice versa.
E．Then, you can learn how to communicate in a more productive way.
F．If you leave conflicts unsettled, you will feel disconnected and lonely.
G．Effective communication requires much more than being able to speak.

Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you are angry, you make ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. ____11____ How to stop being angry? Here are ways that you can reduce the causes of anger.
You need to change your attitude to the way the world works. You have to accept that sometimes things go wrong and that people are not always lovely and perfect. ____12____ So realizing others may behave in an unproper way will help you prevent your annoyance.
____13____ There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights and Gandhi was angry about British domination. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against injustice.
It is beneficial to stop trying to manage your anger. Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger. ____14____ A better way of facing anger is to identify the root cause. Once you know why you get mad, it is possible to deal with the cause.
Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We would like to throw something, hit something, or scream when we are angry. A reaction like that is the easy way. It is much harder to stay calm, walk away and act normally. That, however, is what you must do if you are to stop anger from becoming your master. By learning control, you can become a much calmer and less violent person. ____15____
A．Don’t regard anger as a bad emotion.
B．The trick is to manage your anger well.
C．Recognize that anger is something you can control.
D．However, all that happens is that anger is overcontroled.

____17____ Hannah Bailey from London, for example, told the Metro newspaper about how she was given her fruit and vegetable shopping for free. The seller did her a small act of kindness when it emerged she didn’t have any change to pay. She was happy about it all day.
The city of Naples has long had a tradition called ‘caffè sospeso’. When buying coffee, a person who has recently been lucky would purchase two cups but only drink one, leaving the second one anonymously (匿名), out of the goodness of their heart, for a poor person to claim for free. ____18____
However, in some cases, these little acts can be a matter of life and death. Take, for example, the unnamed commuter, who in June 2018 fell off a station platform onto an electric railway track in Toronto, Canada. A quick thinking, but even now unknown, bystander selflessly leapt down to pull him to safety.
So, why do it? ____19____ The people never meet again. According to UK charity The Mental Health Foundation, acts like these can “give our lives new purpose, show us other perspectives on our own problems and even make us feel content”.
____20____ Hold open a door for someone, deliver a compliment -even give up your seat on a bus. Help someone who is in need. It takes all kinds. It needn’t be anything huge. One day, whether you need it or not, someone might help you in your hour of need.
A．So give it a try.
B．Be brave to face challenges.
C．The acts aren’t paid back.
D．It can be relatively insignificant.
E．This tradition is now more common worldwide.
F．It takes some money to perform an act of kindness.
G．It’s often unexpected, but almost never unappreciated.

Every year, some lucky students will receive offers from their dream universities. But before they are admitted, they might have to go through an interview. This might make them think: “How do I prepare for the interview?”
● ____21____
It’s impossible to decide which applicant to admit from the application materials alone. The interview is an opportunity for the school to learn more about the applicant — to put a face to a name. Besides, the interview can be used to examine the applicant’s professional knowledge. ____22____
● Different kinds of interviews
There are three main kinds of interviews. The first is an online interview. ____23____ The second is an on-site interview at an appointed site, and the last is an in-person interview at the school.
● Preparation for an interview
____24____ You should try to know something about the interviewer, such as their educational background and work experience. You should have an overall understanding of the school too, including its geographical location, campus facilities, available courses and potential career opportunities.
● Importance of self-introduction
Self-introduction is the first part of all interviews. Everyone needs to introduce themselves. This part tests your summarizing and narrative skills, and you must highlight the key points. ____25____ You should explain how your skills match the school’s specialty. This will skillfully demonstrate that you can make valuable contributions to the development of the school.

Is your key or phone missing a dozen times a day, or can’t you find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun? Such faults might be accompanied by a nagging fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. ____26____ But for the most part, people can overcome the tendency to misplace things. Here is some advice.
When you put something down, say its location. ____27____ You’d say, “I’m setting my mouse to the right of my computer.” And saying that, either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, upping the chances that you’ll remember its location later.
Make up a song or rhyme. ____28____ You could make up a rhyme, or sub in your own lyrics to a catchy song. “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” and be sung into “My remote is sitting by the lamp. By the lamp.”
Take pictures. Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car? Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects. When you can’t find them, pull up the photo.
____29____ That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or labelling one drawer as the scissors drawer. Then, at the end of the day, scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things. But if you keep beating yourself up about and start to think that there’s something wrong with you, and you get anxious about that. When your thoughts spiral in such a manner, you’re even less likely to be able to focus and keep track of your possessions. ____30____
A．Set up a routine.
B．Make your belongings stand out.
C．So, remember to give yourself a break.

Shopping to relieve stress is also called retail therapy as a form of regulating stress.____32____ For many, what starts out as a relatively harmless mood booster could possibly grow into a forced reaction ‘hat empties wallets and causes conflict, thus adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.
In order not to be overwhelmed by retail therapy, you might refer to the following tips.
.____33____
Whether you’re purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with clarity and order while you’re shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you’ll be more likely to commit to it: buy a cup of coffee while shopping or plan a. fun activity for when you return home.
·Think about what you struggle with most financially.
Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? ____34____ For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on the weekends, stock your cupboard with groceries on Friday so you’ll be more likely to stay in and cook.
·Give up the need to keep up with your neighbors, co-workers, and friends.

“We need to talk.”

If you find yourself needing to have a difficult conversation,____81____

Before saying something that you think will be difficult for another person to accept, ask yourself:
·Does this need to be said?
·Does this need to be said by me?
·Does this need to be said by me, now?
If the answer to all three questions is yes, skip (跳过) ahead to step three. But if you only make it to the second question, that means____82____
2. ____83____
While criticizing (批评) someone in front of others may be needed in certain circumstances, it’s usually better to speak privately. This shows respect for the other person, and respect causes respect.
3.Consider how you want to communicate

·Your personal relationship with the other party.
·The circumstances.
·Your own strengths and weaknesses.

Whether they are furry, feathered or scaly (多鳞的), the non-human members of your family help you in more ways that you knōw. ____86____ .
They keep you active. If you have a dog, chances are that you’re walking it at least 30minutes a day, and likely more — an activity that goes a long way towards keeping you fit.
They boost your immune system. Growing up indoors in disinfected spaces later causes our bodies to over-react to harmless substances, making us more allergic. As is often the case, pets have muddy paws, abundant furs and affection for licking (舔) us. ____87____.

There are three basic kinds for memory: short-term memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Short-term memory is the sort of memory you use when someone tells you their phone number and you remember it just long enough to write it down. Working memory is a more active version of short-term memory and the brain is able to retain it a little longer. ___91___
To get something into your short-term memory, you need both Input and Output. Here’s a formula: Input＋Output=Short-Term Memory.
___92___ It is something outside of your head being put into your head. Output is even more exciting because you have so many creative choices and it’s up to you to decide how to apply what you’ve learned.
___93___ By thinking about new information and then doing something active with it, you are essentially telling your brain that this new information is worth remembering. That “doing something” could be a lot of creative possibilities.
But how should you improve your long-term memory? ___94___ Here’s the formula: Input＋Output＋Review=Long-Term Memory.
Imagine a grassy lawn that is between someone’s driveway and front door. Rather than walk the long way down the path, most people just cut through the grass to get to their car, right? The more times someone cuts through the grass, the flatter the grass becomes on that new pathway until, eventually, there is a permanent dirt path. ___95___ Every time you review something, neurons(神经元) form a “pathway” in your brain and make it more permanent. Maybe we should really be saying “practice makes memory”.
A．All you need to do is review.
B．A good memory is very important.
C．That is pretty much how the brain works.
D．It’s quite different from long-term memory.
E．We make a memory only when we use information.
F．Input is quite simply putting something into your brain.
G．However, long-term memory stores information for a few days up to decades.

BE A GOOD TOURIST
Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals. ___96___
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. They have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, and many, many other places. ___97___ I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love.
___98___Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission (准许). For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing (打扰) their studies. Another example is Sanlitun, a famous neighborhood in Beijing, China. ___99___ I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: Walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve those problems is to make sure that you are not one of those terrible tourists! ___100___ Remember, whenever you step out of your country, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.
A．Pass kindness along to future generations.
B．However, it may also bring some problems.
C．Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed.
D．Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.
E．People are attracted to the amazing food there and enjoy shopping at the local markets.
F．Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep.
G．Another big headache in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life.

86．由后文“They keep you active.(它们让你保持活跃)”，“They boost your immune system. (它们能增强你的免疫系统 )”和“They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack.(它们降低了你致命心脏病发作的风险)”等可知，后面主要讲养宠物的益处。由此可知，D项Here are some ways that your pet pal benefits you(以下是你的宠物朋友让你受益的一些方法)符合文意，有启下作用。故选D项。
87．由前文“They boost your immune system. Growing up indoors in disinfected spaces later causes our bodies to over-react to harmless substances, making us more allergic. As is often the case, pets have muddy paws, abundant furs and affection for licking (舔) us.(它们能增强你的免疫系统。在经过消毒的室内长大后，会导致我们的身体对无害物质产生过度反应，使我们更加过敏。通常情况下，宠物有泥泞的爪子，丰富的皮毛，喜欢舔我们)”可知，此段的中心思想是宠物增强人们的免疫系统。通过对比，先说在过度干净的环境里生活会造成人体免疫低下，再说宠物与我们的接触并不洁净。由此可知，下一句是说这会提高我们的免疫力。F选项They introduce more bacterial diversity that our body adapts to(它们引入了我们身体适应的更多细菌多样性)进一步说明了它们是通过何种方式来提高我们免疫力的，符合文意。故选F项。
88．由前文“They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that cat owners had a 30per cent lower risk of dying of a heart attack.

89．由后文“animals always keep their owners busy — and that can be a good thing for chronic disease sufferers of all types. When distracted from the pain. they will perceive less pain, and therefore they are in less pain.(动物总是让主人忙碌——这对所有类型的慢性病患者都是一件好事。当因疼痛而分心时。他们会感觉到更少的痛苦，因此他们的痛苦更少)”可知，动物让人们忙碌可以减少痛苦。由此可知，E项With their regular tasks of feeding, walks and play(他们的常规任务是喂食、散步和玩耍)符合文意，其内容和后文keep their owners busy相对应。故选E项。
90．由后文“Studies have shown that pet ownership is beneficial for people with depression, anxiety, PTSD. and other long-term mental health conditions. Pet owners themselves report that their animal pals benefit them mentally a lot, like providing emotional support and helping them form social bonds.(研究表明，养宠物对抑郁症、焦虑症、PTSD患者有益。以及其他长期的心理健康状况。宠物主人自己也报告说，他们的动物朋友在精神上给他们带来了很多好处，比如提供情感支持，帮助他们建立社会关系)”可知，此段主要介绍的是养宠物对人心理健康方面的各种影响。由此可知，A项They also improve your mental health(它们还能改善你的心理健康)符合语境，A选项也有承上启下的作用，上段主要说对于身体健康的保护，这段转向心理健康。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。记忆可以分为三种：短期记忆、工作记忆和长期记忆。文章介绍了这三种记忆及获得长期记忆的秘诀。
91．根据本段第一句“There are three basic kinds for memory: short-term memory, working memory, and long-term memory.(记忆有三种基本类型：短期记忆、工作记忆和长期记忆)”可知，本段主要在介绍三种记忆，再根据前文“Short-term memory is the sort of memory you use when someone tells you their phone number and you remember it just long enough to write it down. Working memory is a more active version of short-term memory and the brain is able to retain it a little longer.(短期记忆是当别人告诉你他们的电话号码，你只记得足够长的时间把它写下来的那种记忆。工作记忆是短期记忆的一种更活跃的版本，大脑能够保留它的时间更长一点)”可知，已介绍了短期记忆和工作记忆，所以空处应该要介绍长期记忆了，所以G项“However, long-term memory stores information for a few days up to decades.(然而，长期记忆可以储存几天到几十年的信息)”符合文意，故选G项。
92．分析句子设空可知，空处位于段首，应是对整段的高度概括，根据后文“It is something outside of your head being put into your head.(它是你头脑之外的东西被输入你的头脑)”可知，空处是在讲输入，所以F项“Input is quite simply putting something into your brain.(输入很简单，就是把东西输入你的大脑)”符合文意，后句是对本句的进一步解释。故选F项。
93．根据后文“By thinking about new information and then doing something active with it, you are essentially telling your brain that this new information is worth remembering.(通过思考新信息，然后对它做一些积极的事情，你基本上是在告诉你的大脑，这些新信息值得记住)”可知，此处是在讲大脑如何记住信息，所以E项“We make a memory only when we use information.(我们只有在使用信息时才会产生记忆)”符合文意，后句是对本句的进一步解释。故选E项。
94．根据前文“But how should you improve your long-term memory? (但是怎样才能提高长期记忆呢?)”可知此处在提问，所以后文应该是对本句的回答，在根据后句“Here’s the formula: Input＋Output＋Review=Long-Term Memory.(公式是这样的:输入+输出+复习=长期记忆)”可知，输入和输出前文都已讲过，所以此处应是讲复习，所以A项“All you need to do is review.(你需要做的就是复习)”符合文意。故选A。
95．根据全文“Imagine a grassy lawn that is between someone’s driveway and front door. Rather than walk the long way down the path, most people just cut through the grass to get to their car, right? The more times someone cuts through the grass, the flatter the grass becomes on that new pathway until, eventually, there is a permanent dirt path.(想象一下某人的车道和前门之间有一片长满草的草坪。大多数人不会沿着小路走很长一段路，而是直接穿过草地去取他们的车，对吗?割草的次数越多，新小路上的草就会变得越平坦，直到最终形成一条永久的土路)”可知，此处作者是在用例子来说明大脑的工作原理，再根据后文“Every time you review something, neurons form a “pathway” in your brain and make it more permanent. (每次你回顾某件事的时候，神经元就会在你的大脑中形成一条“通路”，让它变得更持久)”是对原理的进一步解释。所以C项“That is pretty much how the brain works.(这就是大脑的工作原理)”符合文意。故选C项。
