12．Communication has always been one of the basic keys to success．They say great public speakers are born and not made，but there are always some tricks of the trade which will help you in becoming a great orator．（36）DRead，Study and Learn
Reading and studying helps you to learn different words and ways to convey your idea．Watch how other speakers talk．（37）A Learn from the experts and get tips from them if you can．
Posture is Important
Who said that communication is just speaking words？（38）GIf you stand confidently or if you are sitting up straight，it expresses that you are focused on what you're doing and that you know what you are speaking about．It also shows how much you value their time and attention．
Show Enthusiasm
（39）C Even a tech novice （新手） would get enthusiastic about the new invention when Jobs would present it．It's because he had that enthusiasm which would spread to other people in a heartbeat．So you must show enthusiasm in what you are speaking about，or it will seem that even you are uninterested in what you have to say．
Welcome Questions
（40）F Allow your audience some time to ask you questions．This stage will help you determine if you have effectively shared your knowledge，if your audience took notice and listened to you and if there are any parts that you need to discuss again or clarify．

A．Pay attention to their facial expressions and hand gestures．
B．Communication is not only done orally．
C．Have you ever heard the late Steve Jobs holding a speech？
D．Here are some tricks which will help you in becoming a great speaker．
E．Once you have gotten used to it，your confidence will grow and it will show．
F．This is decisive in any speeches that you make．
G．How you stand or sit also communicates different ideas to others．

11．Scientists study the natural world by using"scientific method"．When a scientist observes some phenomenon in nature，he develops an idea，called a theory or hypothesis （假設(shè)），about what is happening．Then he does an experiment to test his theory．If the results are as expected，then the experiment proves the hypothesis which makes it more likely that the theory is correct．If the experiment fails and the results are not as expected，then the scientist must come up with a new theory that he can test．
   In ancient times great thinkers came up with complicated theories to explain nature，but they did not always prove them by experiment．For example，the great Greek thinker Aristotle，had a theory that heavy objects would fall faster than light objects．People believed this until the scientist Galileo performed an experiment and found it was wrong．
    Here's an experiment that you can use to prove or disprove a common-sense theory：
    Step 1：Get an empty bottle with a small neck．A diameter （直徑） of 1/2 inch should be ideal．
    Step 2：Cut a sheet of paper to a square 5 inches on each si de．
    Step 3：Crumple （壓皺） the paper into a tight wad （塊狀物）．
    Step 4：Lay the bottle on its side and place the paper so it lies loosely in the neck of the bottle．
    Construct a theory about what will happen if you put your mouth about a half inch from the neck of the bottle and blow hard towards it．A common-sense theory might be that the wad would be blown into the bottle by the force of the breath．Now do your experiment to see what really happens．
    If your theory was that the wad would be blown by the force of the air into the bottle，the experiment gave you unexpected results．In most cases the wad is blown out of the neck of the bottle in the opposite direction．A new theory might be that the air being blown into the bottle creates a whirlwind （旋風(fēng)） of air currents （氣流） in the closed space which push the wad out．
29．The writer mentions Aristotle's theory to showD．
A．he was a greater thinker in ancient times
B．he was less successful than Galileo

A．Come to Nature with Scientists          
B．Make up a New Theory
C．Experiment with Breath in a Bottle      
D．Watch Out for Common Sense．

Calm yourself．（37）FYou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．

It is good to see that today more people have realized the importance exercising and are playing sports regular．But the problem is that there are not enough sports facilities to meet the public growing demand．I love playing basketball and often play with my friends on weekends．Therefore，it is difficult to rent a basketball field and possible to find a free one．It seems that all courts in the city were always full．Weather permitted，we can play in outdoors．But on rainy days or in winter we have to turn to indoor courts．There are not much in my city，and the charge is high．The government should build more public sports facilities，so easier access will encourage more people participate in sports．

7．He is the man who for many people has been a role model．Now your biggest hero deserves a special day when you can express your thanks and let him know（41）how important he is to you．The third Sunday of June-which （42）falls（fall） on June 19this year is Father's Day．The idea of Father's Day came from（43）an American woman called Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909．Dodd wanted a special day（44）to honor（honor） her father．He raised six children by （45）himself after his wife died．Dodd thought there needed to be a day to honor loving dads．
The first Father's Day（46）was celebrated （celebrate） on June 19，1910．In 1924，US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a （47）national（nation） Father's Day．Finally，in 1966，President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June（48）as Father's Day．
Here are some ways to show your love and respect：
Send him a greeting card．Fathers prefer cards（49）that/which  are not too emotional．So choose one that will make him laugh．If he has a computer，cover his desktop（50）with words like"I love you Dad"．A small present，such as a framed photo of your family，can make him feel like a king．

6．（16）DIf you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market．You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket．But in either case，you are producing for the market．（17）GIf people stop buying tomatoes，you will stop producing them．
If you take care of a sick person to earn money，you are producing for the market．If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer，he is producing goods or service for the market．
（18）CYou may spend money in stores，supermarkets，gas stations and restaurants．Still you are buying from the market．When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck，he is buying your labor in the labor market．（19）A But for each person or business that is making and selling something，it is very concrete（具體的）．If nobody buys your tomatoes，it won't be long before you get the message．（20）F It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do．

5．Proudly reading my words，I glanced around the room，only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes．Confused，I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher．Having no choice，I slowly raised the report I had slaved over，hoping to hide myself．"What could be causing everyone to act this way？"
Quickly，I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task．This was the first real talk I received in my new school．It seemed simple：go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington．Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country，I had never heard of that name before．As I searched the name of this fellow，it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts，while the other led some sort of army across America．I stared at the screen，wondering which one my teacher meant．I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice； flip （擲） a coin．Heads-the commander，and tails-the peanuts guy．Ah!Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter，George Washington Carver．
Weeks later，standing before this unfriendly mass，I was totally lost．Oh well，I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk，burning to find out what I had done wrong．As a classmate began his report，it all became clear，"My report is on George Washington，the man who started the American Revolution．"The whole world became quite!How could I know that she meant that George Washington？
Obviously，my grade was awful．Heartbroken but fearless，I decided to turn this around．I talked to Miss Lancelot，but she insisted：No re-dos； no new grade．I felt that the punishment was not justified，and I believed I deserved a second chance．Consequently，I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year．Ten months later，that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather，now having an entirely different conversation．I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade．Justice is sweet!
