I am a senior in college, and my major is elementary education. But the thing is, even though I am
going to become a teacher I have a horrible fear of giving presentations. My main problem is that I shake, which causes my paper to move when I hold it. Also I feel my heart beating so fast that I almost cannot
hear myself or pay attention to anything else. In my other semesters I only had one presentation which
only lasted for a few minutes. This, however, is my professional semester and there are about three
presentations per class and some of them have to be 30 minutes long! Now I feel like I'm in the wrong
field because of how nervous I become. But the thing is, I have already had students taught and have a lot of experience with children, and when I am around children I am completely comfortable. Children don't
judge people and I just don't get nervous around them. That is why I don't understand why they make us
do so many presentations in front of our peers (同齡人) as if they were children!
     I am just so nervous about getting up in front of my class this semester! I can't stop fearing it and I'm
set for failure. It's strange. I have a good friend in my class and I seem to be more nervous with her being
there than when she is not there! Maybe that's because I don't know or don't really care about the rest of
the students in the class. 
1. The author will have to ____ in his / her future job.
A. deal with freshmen in college
B. deal with students in elementary school
C. make many public presentations in front of his / her peers 
D. work with his / her good friends
2. Which of the following words can best describe the author's feeling when he / she is giving
presentations?
A. Worried.    
B. Tense.    
C. Exciting.    
D. Disappointed.
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____.
A. the author only feels nervous when his / her friend is present
B. the author performs better when his / her friend is not there
C. the author is disliked by most of his / her classmates
D. the author is eager to get help and support from his / her friend
4. The text is mainly about ____.
A. how to get rid of the fear of giving presentations
B. an interesting experience of the author in the professional semester
C. stories about the relationship between the author and his / her friend
D. the author's problem of giving presentations

  I knew they were out there somewhere, and I was determined to find them.

  Like most tourists who visit Ranthambore National Park in India, I went with just one goal in mind:to see tigers in the wild.

  Twice a day, all year round, 10 open-topped trucks are allowed to rumble along the park’s dirt roads for a few hours.It costs 360 rupees(about $8, U.S.)to buy a seat on one of the trucks.Glimpses of tigers are free.

  Of course, nothing is guaranteed.Forty tigers wander Ranthambore’s 388 square miles.But tigers hear and smell us long before we can see them.Some tourists I met near the park were lucky enough to see a handful of tigers up close during just one trip.Other people saw none, even after going out six or more times.

  Still, I couldn’t pass up(miss)the excursion(short journey).It was an opportunity that might someday disappear.Tigers are among the most endangered animals on Earth.In India, where about half of the planet’s remaining 7000 wild tigers live, tigers face a number of threats, especially from a growing human population.More than a billion people live in India today, and development is rapidly expanding into what was once largely tiger territory.

  Conservationists nonetheless(in spite of that)remain optimistic.“The tiger will not disappear,”said P.K.Sen, director of the Tiger and Wildlife Program for World Wildlife Fund-India(WWF-India).He was kind enough to meet with me in his New Delhi office on a Sunday, the only day I spent in the city during a recent 3-week trip to India.

  There’s no way, Sen said, that people will ever let the majestic cats die out.“The tiger has been a symbol of strength and might for thousands of years,”he said.

(1)

The main purpose of my trip to India is to ________.

[  ]

A.

meet the P.K Sen the director of the Tiger and Wildlife Program for World Wildlife Fund India

B.

see the majestic cats in the wild

C.

to find out why the number of tigers in India is less and less

D.

to make sure I am luck enough to meet tigers

(2)

It is very ________ to meet a lot of tigers up close during your trip in the park.

[  ]

A.

easy

B.

dangerous

C.

not so often

D.

convenient

(3)

Among the threats to the tiger, the biggest one is ________.

[  ]

A.

the more terrible environment

B.

a larger and larger population

C.

the climate change

D.

the Indian Government doesn’t care it

(4)

From this passage, we can infer ________.

[  ]

A.

development is rapidly expanding into what was once largely tiger territory, so some day the tigers will not find any place to live and disappear

B.

the Indian Government will take some measures to protect the tigers

C.

the tiger has been a symbol of strength and might for many years

D.

I met director P.K.Sen on a Sunday

(5)

Which of the following statements is true?

[  ]

A.

During this trip to India, I stayed there for three weeks.

B.

I spent the only day I stayed in India to meet the director P.K.Sen.

C.

Nearly a billion people live in India today.

D.

Every tourist can be lucky enough to see a handful of tigers up close if he goes to the park several times.

Change Has Come to America
November, 04, 2008, Barack Obama
Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain. Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.
To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
【小題1】 Why did Sen. McCain make a phone call to the writer?

A.To inform the writer of something important.
B.To share his happiness with the writer.
C.To congratulate the writer on his success.
D.To give him some good ideas on making a successful speech..
【小題2】  If Sen. McCain won the election, What would Palin do?
A.She would be a governor.
B.She would be the vice president-elect of the United States.
C.She would be the nation's next first lady.
D.She would be the campaign manager of Sen. McCain’s.
【小題3】 How many people did the writer thank in his speech?
A.5B.6C.7D.8
【小題4】 What did the writer imply by saying “I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to?”
A.He is a failure rather than a success.
B.He still doesn’t know who this victory truly belongs to.
C.He thinks highly of his supporters.
D.He considers his success as people’s victory.
