Know you audience: Find out who you will be addressing so that you can tailor(适合) your comments accordingly.
Make a point: Keep your speech short and brief and have a few clear points that you need to convey(传达).

A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, "Dad, because this is your birthday and you"re 40 years old, I"m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word, the father cried out suddenly, "Oh, Andrew, don"t do it now; I"m too busy!"
The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes.Apologicaliy the father said, "You can finish later."
The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face.That evening the father said, "Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!" But the boy didn"t respond.
Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was drowned.His heartbroken father wrote...
"If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words, and could be sure that he knows how much my heart is aching."
Love is not only giving.Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar.If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us, because there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little boy.

Unbelievable view appealed to me by accident.Just then, I checked once again: the somewhat tiny wood was having a leaf.Could I trust my own eyes? Had the hot sun annoyed me? After all, it  as summer in Costa Rica, a country in Central America.
I left off, wiping sweat from my eyes.Then I moved the wood with my finger.It stopped.It looked up at me with big triangular eyes.Surprise! It was a mantid, a kind of insect, instead of a piece of wood.
The mantid was hanging upside down on a branch.Its wings made it look like a piece of tree bark.Then I noticed something else.The leaf wasn"t a leaf at all.The hungry mantid was really eating another insect—a katydid.By now, all that was left of the katydid was a pair of wings.A few moments later, the wings dropped to the ground.The mantid folded its long legs.It sat still.Now it looked even more like a piece of wood than when I had first seen it.
I thought about how I had been fooled by these clever animals.Then I thought about how the two insects go about trying to trick each other.Both mantids and katydids are masters of make-up.Katydids are particularly good at it.Many look like something they are not.Katydids often look like plants.Many seem to be leaves.Others look like leaves of grass.All day, the bugs try to stay perfectly still.Because their bodies look like plants, most animals interested in killing them don"t bother them while katydids eat plants.

What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist(牙医)may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first.In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.
The simplest thing to do is put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk.Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth.He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液).He also tried, just drying the teeth in the open air.He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons.The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液)or stored in the air for one hour.Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped-off the teeth.Dr.Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.
The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth.However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school.
The next best thing was milk.But Dr.Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽)in the mouth.For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting.So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist.
小题1:This passage is mainly about             .
A.how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
B.how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
C.how Dr.Courts and other researchers made their experiments
D.how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket
小题2:The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it       .

小题3:Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in because    .
A.milk works better to keep the tooth healthyB.milk causes less pain
C.cell-culture medium is not usually handyD.cell-culture medium is more expensive
小题4:“Dr.Courts said that the best of al1 was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth.”In the sentence, the word “best” means              .
A.cheapest and healthiestB.least painful and cheapest
C.quickest and least painfulD.easiest and healthiest
