According to several recent researches, some people fear public speaking more than anything else.1, this fear cap be overcome(克服) with two simple methods: practice and using positive energy from the audience. Practicing for a speech is essential.2 the task of writing the speech is complete; speakers must practice, practice, practice. The more times they practice the speech, the more 3they are discussing the topic. Using4such as mirrors or video recordings as they practice can show speakers what they look and sound like to the audience. Video is particularly helpful as it can be5many times, with the presenters focusing(集中) on one part at a time. Another6of dealing with public speaking fears is using the audience's positive energy. Speakers remember that the audience wants them to 7. Something as basic as a small nod or smile from a member of the audience should give 8 to the presenters behind the podium. While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using the audience's 9will(愿意) helps much in making a speech better.

All in all, these two strategies are sure to help with fear of public speaking. With proper practice and audience empathy(共鸣), it is10 to overcome the fear of public speaking and deliver a successful speech. So there is no need to fear public speaking any more.

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming(责备) it on you;

If you can trust yourself when al men doubt(怀疑) you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream———and not make dreams your master,

If you can think———and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Success and Disaster,

And treat those two impostors(骗子) just the same;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch—and—toss(掷硬币),

And 1ose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can fill the unforgiving(不可饶怒的) minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run———

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And———which is more———you'll be a Man, my son!

Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so—called disease “spillover" from animals to humans.

“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent(频繁的). “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.

Scientists including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme(极端的) weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards(果园) in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.

“We're going by the past data to really predict(预言) what's going to happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife—human interface, that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that's just increasing as we go forward.”

Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example , mosquitoes carry disease that affects(影响) millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.

Before I came to live here, I spent a lot of time at Wuthering Heights. My mother looked after Hindley Earnshaw, Hareton's father. Hindley and I were the same age. His sister Catherine was eight years younger than us. One day old Mr Earshaw went to Liverpool on business. He was away for three days and when he came back he brought a child with him. The child wasn't very old, about Catherine's age, but he was dirty and dressed in rags(衣衫褴褛). They called him Heathcliff. Not long after that, Mrs Earnshaw died and the three children were left without a mother.

Catherine, and Heathcliff became close friends but Hindley always hated him. I must say, I didn't like him much either. He was a strange child. He never complained or cried when Hindley hit him. Old Мг Eanshaw was very angry when he discovered that his son was persecuting(迫害) the boy. Heathcliff was definitely his favorite. I often wondered why Mr Earnshaw admired him. Heathcliff never showed any signs of care for the old man or any signs of gratitude(感激) either. But the old man's love gave him power over Hindley.

As Me Earnshaw got older and weaker, he became bad—tempered(脾气暴躁). Hindley often made him angry by saying nasty things about Heathcliff. Once or twice the old man lifted his stick to hit his son but he was too weak to do it. Then he shook with anger. In the end the local curate(助理牧师) advised him to send Hindley away to school. Mr Earnshaw agreed but he was sad to see his son leave.

“Maybe we'll have some peace now,” I thought.

Catherine was a very pretty girl with thick dark curls and dark eyes and a passionate nature. She talked, sang and laughed from the moment she got up to the moment she went to bed. She liked to play the mistress(女主人) of the house, giving Hindley, Heathcliff and me orders. When the boys didn't obey her, she hit them. But I never let her hit me. She was crazy about Heathcliff. The worst punishment(惩罚) we could invent for her was to keep them separate.

Then one October evening Mr Earnshaw died quietly in his chair. Both Catherine and Heathcliff were very sad. They cried and cried. I didn't have time to comfort them because I had to go to the village to get the doctor. When I came back I went straight to their room. It was after midnight but they weren't asleep. They were comforting each other by describing all the beautiful things in heaven. Tears ran down my face as I listened to them.

—Don't look at me that way. It wasn't me.

Each country in the world has its own traditional clothes, which show us the country's traditional aesthetics(美学), philosophy(哲学), and social values in special ways. Here are the four most well—known types of traditional Chinese clothing.

Hanfu

Hanfu is the oldest of China's traditional clothes. Legend traces it back(追溯) to over 4,000 years ago when Huangdi's wife, Leizu, made cloth with silk. It was kept improving till the Han Dynasty, when Hanfu was made and strongly promoted(推销) by the rulers. It also had a far—reaching influence on neighboring Asian countries, such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.

The Zhongshan suit

The Zhongshan suit, also known as the Mao suit in the world, is a type of male clothes. Women seldom wore it. It was first advocated(提倡) by Sun Zhongshan in 1912, so it was called the Zhongshan suit. Later on, after Chairman Mao had been seen wearing it in public many times, this type of clothes got another name———the Mao suit.

The Tang suit

The Tang suit often refers to a type of Chinese jacket rather than the clothing of the Tang Dynasty. This name came from the overseas Chinese. As the Tang Dynasty was famous for being rich and powerful in the world, foreigners called the overseas Chinese people “the Tang people” and the clothes they wore were called “the Tang suit”, also known as Tangzhuang.

The Cheongsam

The Cheongsam developed from the Manchu women's Changpao of the Qing Dynasty. The Manchu people were also called the Qi people by the Han people; so their Changpao was named qipao.

Generally, the top—bottom clothes, made up of—an yi(the upper clothes) and a chang(the lower clothes), were the earliest form of clothing recorded in Chinese documents. The one—piece clothing was called shenyi. The upper and the lower clothes were made as one piece although they were cut separately.
