We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.   71 .
So, you have to give a speech ─ and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (結(jié)結(jié)巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up!   72 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many example as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.   73 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief,   74 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet?   75 .
A．It doesn’t have to be that bad.
B．Take several deep breaths before your speech.
C．This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
D．Say what you have to say and then stop.
E．Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.
F．Never forget your audience.
G．Give it a try and see what happens.

71．C
72. A
73. F
74. D
75. G

71.根據(jù)前面make a speech和下文的內(nèi)容可知，這是給演講提出建議。
72．根據(jù)前一段所說的“I hope I never have to do that again.”這里說到了Cheer up!，是鼓勵(lì)性的話，所以選A。
73．根據(jù)下面兩句話的內(nèi)容Don’t talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect，可知答案。
74．根據(jù)前面的Be brief，簡潔些，所以這里選D，進(jìn)一步說明。
75．根據(jù)前一句話：You’re not convinced yet?（你還沒有被說服嗎？），可推斷出答案。

Neatness and personal cleanness have been around for ages and have become an important part of everyone’s daily routine. You might think that all modern societies would have the same neatness and personal cleanness practices. After all, doesn’t everybody take baths? Most people do recognize the need for cleanness, which is the basis for health. Neatness practices include all the little things people do to make themselves look their best, such as combing their hair and putting on makeup. However, while most modern people agree that these things are important, people in different cultures take care of themselves in different ways.
There used to be an old joke in America that people should take a bath once a week, whether they need one or not. In fact, though, Americans generally take a bath or more commonly, a shower every day. But in contrast to some cultures, most Americans get their shower in the morning so that they can start the day fresh. Americans are known for having very sensitive noses. In America, body smell is socially unacceptable. For that reason, Americans consider it a must to use special lotion (浴液) to prevent the smell. Ladies often add a touch of perfume. Men may spray on after – shave cream or manly – smelling perfume.
Some of the cultural varieties in neatness practices result from physical differences between races. Whereas many Asian men have little facial hair, Westerners have a lot. As a result, most American men spend some time each day shaving or tidying their facial hair to keep it nice. American women, on the other hand, generally prefer not to be hairy at all.
　　Americans put great value on both neatness and personal cleanness. For some people, taking care of themselves has become almost a religion. As the old saying goes, “Cleanness is next to godliness.” Whether or not being clean and neat – looking brings one closer to God, it certainly at least brings one closer to others. Americans look down on people who don’t take care of themselves, or who “let themselves go.”
68．We can infer from the first paragraph that          .
A．everyone takes baths daily to get a nice look.
B．people have the same neatness practices today.
C．neatness practices may be affected by cultures.
D．neatness means combing hair and doing makeup.
69．Americans have a bath in the morning to          .
A．begin an energetic day                                  B．refresh their sensitive noses
C．prevent their body smell                               D．style their hair at home
70．According to the author, physical differences between races can cause differences in       .
A．cultures                   B．locations                  C．religions                   D．neatness practice
71．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means “       ”.
A．care much about themselves                      B．give loose to themselves
C．stay away from other people                       D．stay closer to other people
