Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech. Then try to arrange your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads or talk down to them. When you are giving your speech, speak slowly and clearly, look at think over what you’ve said. Just remember: be prepared, know your subject and your audience, say what you have to say and be yourself so that your ideas will bring you and your audience together.

People used to say, and “Behind every successful man there’s a woman.” Both of these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their wives rule them. Most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.
The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who don’t want to stand behind successful men. They want to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or offices are closed to them. They refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.
A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and believe in herself. If somebody says to her, “You’ve come a long way, baby,” she’ll smile and answer, “not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!” The movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree. But
already made some important changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives, too.

A．the world is now ruled over by women

D．a woman used to rule her husband
61．Some American women wish to ________.
A．have the same chance for success as men
B．get better jobs than the men working together

A．The movement.
B．The movement is quite new.
C．Many American women do not agree.
D．An important change.
63．What is the best title of this passage?
A．American women’s liberation movement
B．A woman behind a successful man
C．Women want to support their husbands

Where do foods get their names?
Some foods take their names from the people who invented them. The sandwich is a common lunch food. It took its name from James Montague. Montague lived in the 1700s. He was the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Sandwich is an area in England. Montague liked to play cards very much. One day, he was playing in a very exciting card game. It was so exciting that he didn’t want to leave the table and eat his lunch. He told his servant to bring him some meat between two slices of bread. According to the story, Montague thought he discovered a convenient way to eat a meal. He could eat his dinner and go on with his card game at the same time! That was the beginning of the sandwich. If you like sandwiches, you can thank John Montague for his invention.
Other foods take their names from the people who liked to eat them. Do you ever eat toast for breakfast? Have you ever eaten Melba toast? Melba toast is a very thin slice of bread that has been toasted for a long time. It is very hard and dry. An accident led to the creation of Melba toast. Nellie Melba was a famous singer at a hotel in London. One day she ordered regular toast. The chef made a mistake and cut the bread much thinner than usual. When he toasted the bread, it became very crisp and dry. A waiter took the toast to Nellie Melba before the chef could stop him. The chef was upset by his blunder. He went to apologize to Ms Melba. To his surprise, she was eating his “mistake”. She told the chef that the toast tasted wonderful. The chef began serving the thin, dark toast to other guests at the hotel. He gave the new item a very special name. he called it Melba toast. Today, you can buy Melba toast in most grocery stores.
It’s fun to find out how foods got their names! Can you think of any other foods that take their name from people!

69．When the waiter served burned toast to Nellie, how did the chef feel?

D．John Montague liked sandwiches better than any other food.

D．Melba toast tastes wonderful.
E
Brazil is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 170 million Brazilians. How
many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team managers. When things go bad for the Brazilian team, the newspapers would demand that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven,” a manager once said. “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).”
You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels (频道) in Rio de Janieiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.
Brazil is not the richest country in the world, but the government spends lots of money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?
“Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give us a good team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”
Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, San Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’ fans are the most loyal and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.
Why are people so loyal to one football team? What makes a football fan? One man says, “Without Corinthians my life would be sad. Corinthians bring some joy and excitement into my life. We all need that, don’t we?”
72．In paragraph 1, what the manager said means _______.
A．he is respected by newspapers
B．he will probably be killed by fans
C．he is judged on his team’s results
D．it’s difficult for him to get good scores
73．All the following statements about the Brazilians and football are true EXCEPT _______.
A．all the Brazilians know all about football
B．football has an influence on politics in Brazil
C．the Brazilians spend a lot of money on football
D．Corinthians’ fans are always supporting their team
74．Some people danced and sang in the streets for four days in Sao Paulo because _______.
A．production in the Sao Paulo car factories increased
B．Corinthians won a national football championship
C．Corinthians won the World Cup
D．the newspapers put a team manager in heaven
75．The best title for the passage might be _______.
A．Attractive football
B．Football fans
C．What makes a football fan
D．Brazilian Corinthians

During this summer holiday. I got a Job at a KFC fast food restaurant and worked there as a cleaner. I worked 7 hours a day for three week.
The Job was very hard. Every morning I got up very early and started off for work and got home late in the evening, which made me so tired that I nearly stopped it halfway. After all, I stuck to it and finished the Job. Now, I understand what labour means. I think it is really a suaessful experience.
