Around four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous_apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness: Public Speaking.
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later,I was invited to refer to a topic on motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged me and praised my efforts.
After delivering it successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself,“If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”
I started delivering lectures on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I have learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.

语篇解读:本篇文章是关于青少年要如何赢得别人尊敬和信任的几点建议。首先要学会在家里帮忙做家务,即使从最简单的洗碗叠被做起。其次,要学会负责任,哪怕是自己个人卫生也要做好。最后,要学会独立解决问题。当把这些都做好的时候,人们对你的信任也就随之而来了。
1.B 考查上下文的推理判断能力。前句中出现的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F选项的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼应,语义上也能起到承上启下的作用,所以判断B选项正确。
2.D 考查上下文的推理判断能力。前句讲你应该学会自己收拾卫生,而D选项This includes. But is not limited to, your dishes and your room. “这包括在内,但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上”恰好能承接上文,故D选项正确。
3.C 考查上下文的推理判断能力。本段内容是建议青少年要学会做家务活来帮助家人。所以所填句子应该和做家务帮忙有关,而且从段落安排上看,最后一句话应该起到总结概括作用,由此判断C选项正确。句意:“如果你帮忙做家务,那么平时做这种家务的人会很感激。”
4.A 考查上下文的推理判断能力。由后句“Whether they are basic things,”可以推断前句应该出现they所替代的名词,而根据下文举的例子“like brushing your teeth or doing your homework”等可知A选项符合语境,能引领下文。句意:每个人都有某些责任。故A为正确选项。
