The most common form of public transportation is the bus. They provide transportation service in cities and towns even to countryside around the city. Also, special buses can be chartered (包租) for trips to mountains to lakes, and to nearby places of interest. But usually they can't run as fast as you want.
Undergrounds are mostly found in larger cities, such as New York, London, Beijing and so on. The underground is a underground system of high-speed trains. The world's first system was built in London. Underground trains move more quickly than buses. They, too, are cheap and help solve city traffic problems. But they are often crowed and noisy.
Taxis are more expensive than buses or underground trains, but they will drive you to the place you want in the shortest time possibly. Taxis are suitable if you are in a hurry or if you are taking a number of handbags or packages.
If you ever visit a big city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. Like many people, of course, transportation will be your own two legs!

One of the most common forms of public speaking is the ―presentation‖. A presentation is one of the best ways of communicating your message. This article will give you seven of the most important areas to consider when giving any presentation.
◆Preparation Prepare! Prepare! Prepare! Good preparation is very important for any presentation. With good preparation and planning you will be fully confident. This will give you control. With control, you will be ―in charge‖ and your audience (听众) will listen positively to your message.
◆Structure A good presentation has a clear structure, like a good book or film. It usually has a beginning, a middle part and an end.
◆Equipment You may use any of the following pieces of equipment as you want: whiteboard, flipchart, overhead projector, 35 mm slide projector and computer graphics.
Each of these has advantages and disadvantages. The important thing is to know and understand your equipment perfectly, and then you can use it freely and properly.
◆Visual Aids ―A picture is worth 1,000 words.‖ There are many types of visual aids (直观教具) – photographs, maps, tables etc. But you should use them with care. Do not overload your audience with too much information in a short time. A good rule is: use one image to give one message.
◆Signposting When you read a book, you know where you are. You know the title of the book, the end of one chapter, and even the page number. But when you give a presentation, your audience does not know where they are – unless you TELL them! You can use special language called ―signaling‖ or ―signposting‖ to help you. Here are a few examples: Let’s begin by...; Now we’ll move on to...; To start with...later...; To finish up....
◆Audience Relations You need a warm and friendly relationship with your audience. How do you achieve this? Well, enthusiasm is contagious. If you are enthusiastic (热情的), your audience will be enthusiastic too. Try to make eye contact with each member of your audience. Each person should feel that you are speaking to him or her personally.
◆Body Language Your BODY speaks to your audience even before you open your mouth. From your clothes, walk, glasses, haircut and your expression, your listeners form their first impression as you enter the room.
1. How will you be fully confident in a presentation according to the passage?
A. With necessary equipment.
B. With enough visual aids.
C. With proper body language.
D. With careful preparation.
2.The writer may agree that signposting can help ______.
A. speakers to be more enthusiastic
B. the audience catch up with speakers
C. the audience form the first impression
D. speakers avoid using equipment improperly
3. What does the underlined word ―contagious‖ in Paragraph 8 mean?
A. Highly praised. B. Deeply hidden.
C. Clearly expressed. D. Easily spread.
