It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them, Just continue as if nothing happened．

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech – “ I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumble（结巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on is message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition．But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human．

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect．Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely．

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock．According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．

Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers（慢跑者） and non-joggers for 12 years．The death rates（率） from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate(适合的) pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die．

The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour．The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers．The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)．Over time，this can cause serious injuries．

Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease（减少） risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy（策略）．Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful．”

The implications（含义） of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events，triathlons（三项全能） and long-distance running and cycling．According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher in the study，“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact（影响） on your health．And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”．

1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“___________”．

A．hard　　　　　　　　 B．regular

C．practical　　　　　 D．flexible（灵活的）

2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________．

A．suggest giving up jogging

B．show risks of doing sports

C．provide supportive evidence（证据）

D．introduce the research process（过程）

3.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？

A．It may injure the heart and arteries．

B．It can make the body tired out．

C．It will bring much pressure．

D．It consumes too much energy．

4.What can be inferred from the text？

A．No exercise at all is the best choice．

B．More exercise means a healthier life．

C．Marathons runners are least likely to die．

D．Proper exercise contributes to good health．

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available(可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

1.From the text we know that windmills__________.

A. were invented by European armies

B. used to supply power to radio in remote areas

C. have a history of more than 2,800 years

D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered

2.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?

A. Producing electricity.

B. Sailing a boat.　

C. Grinding wheat into flour.

D. Pumping water from ground.

3.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that______.

A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs

B. it is one of the oldest power sources

C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind

D. wind power is cleaner

4.The passage is mainly about______________.

A. the global pollution from burning coal and gas

B. the worldwide movement to save energy

C. the history of using wind power

D. the advantages of windmills

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

You may know that vitamin C is important to your body，but do you know that vitamin D is important to your body as well? Vitamin D has a significant role in calcium homeostasis(钙稳态) and metabolism(新陈代谢). It is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight.

Vitamin D can help bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. If a person is short of vitamin D，he or she may have problems like rickets(佝偻病) and osteoporosis．Rickets is mainly found in children. Osteoporosis，the thinning of bone，is a common problem as people get older. Studies in these years have found that vitamin D may also have other uses. If someone is short of vitamin D, he may have heart problems or die from some cancers.

The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. Also, even skin color has an influence. Darker skinned people get less vitamin D than lighter skinned people. Older people get less vitamin D than younger people. You can also get it from foods. Some food such as cheese and egg yolks (蛋黄) have some vitamin D．But most of vitamin D in the American diet comes from food like milk with the vitamin added.

Now more doctors are testing for vitamin D in their patients. However, some doctors worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might be bad for their body. At the same time, skin doctors tell people to be careful with strong sunlight.
