You might say that one reason why Barack Obama is president of the US is that he knows how to give a good speech.
Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent（有智慧的） adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in an easy, natural way.
Before becoming president, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer---his two memories have become best-sellers.
What’s more, he has some secret weapons.
Teleprompter: Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his Teleprompter. The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he goes to speak.
Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential speeches and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits(编辑)and rewrites the drafts(草稿)several times.
Tricks for lighthearted speeches:
Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently teasing his guests. His opening lines draw the audience’s attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other.
Make fun of yourself: A good rule for speechmakers: If you’re going to make a joke about someone else, be sure to make one about yourself, too. Obama mocks(嘲弄) his own poor choices for filling the position of Commerce Secretary, saying, “No president in history has ever named three Commerce Secretaries this quickly.” In fact, his first two nominees（被提名人）for the position withdrew(撤出) their names for different reasons. In a process that had otherwise gone smoothly, the Obama Administration found it hard to deal with the problem of filling the Commerce seat.
小题1:Obama made the poetic and inspiring speech in 2004 as________. | A．president | B．a nominee for the presidency | | C．a senator | D．a secretary |
小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?| A．Difficult to understand. | B．Easy to understand. | | C．Different from others. | D．Interesting to say. |
小题3:From the passage, we know that Obama’s secret weapons are all these EXCEPT ____.| A．a writing team | B．a teleprompter | C．humor | D．motivation |
小题4:What’s the best title of the passage？| A．Secrets of Obama’s successful speeches. | | B．Obama’s successful speeches. | | C．Obama’s way of making speeches. | | D．Problems of Obama’s speeches. |

You"re rushing to get out of the door for a meeting, but you just can"t seem to find your car keys. Or you"ve got tickets booked for a Caribbean cruise(坐船旅行) , but your passport disappeared. Or maybe you"ve just come back from a grocery store tour and realized…Hey, did I leave my baby in the checkout line?
Ok, you"ve probably never gone to the extremes of our last example (we hope), but most of us experience slip - ups like these on a daily basis. No matter how smart you may be, it doesn"t mean your brain won"t turn to Swiss cheese every so often, and no amount of e-mail reminders can help you remember where you left your TV remote or lucky penny.
But now, there is a new pair of eyeglasses that can help to find all those little things you know must be around somewhere : Let"s call it Vision 2.0.
The new glasses, which are being developed in a Japanese lab under the code name Smart Goggles,are similar to a Google search engine for your eyes. The high - tech glasses come with a camera that records everything you see on a daily basis, and boast built - in object recognition software that allows them to keep track of whatever comes across their field of vision. If you"ve got a collection of art sculptures that the camera can"t recognize immediately, no problem : Just say the name of each item, and the glasses will memorize them right away.
The Smart Goggles" superb tracking abilities mean that whenever you"re looking for your keys, your overdue library book, or yes, even your baby, all you have to do is to say the word and the Goggles" camera will show you the last time your desired object appeared on screen, telling exactly where you"ll be able to find it.
Though the glasses are still too big for general use, the research team in Japan believes that they"ll be able to make the modem glasses smaller to the size of normal glasses in the near future, making them the perfect new accessory for yourself or any other absent - minded Professor you know.
With these intelligent designs, you"ll never lose anything again. Except maybe your glasses.

A relationship is defined as a state of connectedness between people. Although in today’s society with its crazy rhythm of everyday life, when people tend to live in thickly populated cities, spending most of their time in the office and hardly knowing their neighbor’s name, we still find ourselves in some kinds of relationships-with friends, family, or colleagues.
Family relationships are the first relationships people enter. Parents and relatives influence our emotional development by creating a model that we are sometimes bound to follow all our lives, often subconsciously （潜意识地）. In day-care, at school, then in the office we spend a lot of time among fellow students and co-workers. We learn to keep business relationships, to work in a team environment, then form smaller groups of like-minded people and finally select some of them as our friends.
What is a true friendship? How does it start? Are we destined to become friends with certain people or can we actually plan whom to be friends with？
“Everybody‘s friend is nobody’s.” said Arthur Schopenhauer. Unlike a companionship based on belonging to the same team or group, friendship is a very personal and selective type of relationship. It calls for trust, sincerity, and emotional bonds.
Sociologists believe that most people are looking for similarities in views, social status, and interests when choosing friends. No wonder that our friends are often people of the same age, sex, and education. Another important factor is joint activity and solidarity. This is the reason why many of us befriend our colleagues and other people who work in the same field.
Most people would agree that a friend is someone who always listens and understands. Understanding in this context implies a lot of meanings-compassion, sympathy, and emotional closeness. It’s a process in which your friend reads your emotional state, shares your feelings, identifies himself or herself with you.
小题1:What is the best title of this passage？_______| A．Family and Relationships | | B．How to Make Friends with Colleagues | | C．What is a True Friendship | | D．People and Relationship |
小题2:According to the passage, which of the following affects us most when choosing friends？| A．Kindergarten. | B．Family. | C．School. | D．Office. |
小题3: Why are our friends usually of the same age，sex，and education？| A．Because they are clever and well-behaved. | | B．Because most of us are looking for similarities in views，social status, and interests when choosing friends. | | C．Because they help us with our work and share our happiness and sorrow. | | D．Because they cooperate with us well. |
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true？| A．A companionship is based on belonging to the same team or group. | | B．Friendship needs trust, sincerity, and emotional bonds. | | C．Relationships are friendships between people. | | D．Understanding is a process in which the friend reads our emotional state, shares our feelings, identifies himself / herself with us. |

It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone.
Distracted (思想不集中的) dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a Weibo photo of the meal they’re about to chew down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.
Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存) their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.
“For us, it’s really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again,” he explained. “It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”
Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cell phone usage, too. “I’m guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, it’s a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone,” he joked.
The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.
“I think once the server approaches the table and they’re presented with the offer, they like the idea of actually talking to each other again,” he said.
小题1:When having meal in Eva Restaurant, we are not offered on the table.[学,| A．forks | B．cellphones | C．napkins | D．knives |
小题2:Why does Gold think people should not use cellphones at table?| A．Because it can cause health problems. | | B．Because it will disturb other customers. | | C．Because it can get a 5-percent discount on the customers’ bills. | | D．Because it may prevent people communicating with their companions. |
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?| A．Many people would like to upload a photo of their food before they eat nowadays. | | B．People are forbidden to use cellphones in Eva Restaurant. | | C．More than half of the customers in Eva Restaurant have enjoyed the discount. | | D．People can easily connect with each other anytime without using cellphones. |
小题4:What can be the best title of the passage?| A．No Cellphone at Table! | | B．Focus on Your Cellphone! | | C．Eva Restaurant – Home to Customers. | | D．Talk Face to Face. |
