课件27张PPT。But which of the many theories out there is correct?The truth is that they probably all contain a part of the solution,but none have it in entirety.This is because there's no recipe for success,at least not in general.The fact remains that if you have an interest in developing certain personal qualities,you can tip the odds more in your favor.By definition,charisma(魅力) is the power to please,and win with ease.Charismatic people have the ability to gather others to their cause because they know the importance of addressing people sincerely and simply.They have a sense of well-developed listening,give you their full attention when you speak,look you straight in the eye,call you by your name and even remember everydetail of your past conversations,simply because they give you their full attention and sympathy.In turn,you want to associate more with them!
What use are the qualities of charisma if you are in a hospital bed?The most important thing in life is one's health.You therefore need to invest time and money to maintain your health,changing physical and dietary habits.Finally,regardless of what field you're in,it is important to remain grounded and critical of your own actions.It really is the only way to see changes and be prepared enough to adapt quickly.The methods you use today to be successful may not be as effective a few years.Without losing confidence in your abilities,to question yourself can be the most effective thing!
【答案】 1.Because they want satisfactory results quickly and no failure at all.
2.The Secret of Charisma.
3.Being critical of your own actions/Questioning yourself in a relevant context.Ⅰ.篇章结构

who引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词his grandfather and father。非限制性定语从句仅对所修饰的先行词或整个主句作补充说明。若省略掉从句,句子意思完整、明确,与先行词或主句之间用逗号隔开。在非限制性定语从句中指代“物”时要用which作关系代词;指代全句时,用which或as;指代人时用who,非限制性定语从句不可用that。
They were invited to the state banquet,which was a great honour to them.
他们被请去赴国宴,这对他们来说是极大的荣耀。
Li Ming is late,as is often the case.
李明迟到了,这事是经常发生的。限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的几点区别
区别一:形式不同
限定性定语从句主句和从句之间不用逗号隔开;而非限定性定语从句与主句之间通常有逗号隔开。
区别二:功能不同
限定性定语从句用于对先行词的意义进行修饰、限制和识别,如果去掉,就会造成句意不完整或概念不清;而非限定性定语从句用于对先行词起补充说明作用,如果省略,句意仍然清楚、完整。区别三:含义不同
比较下面的两个句子:
I have a sister who is a doctor.
我有一个当医生的姐姐。(姐姐不止一个)
I have a sister,who is a doctor.
我有一个姐姐,她是当医生的。(只有一个姐姐)
区别四:先行词不同
限定性定语从句的先行词只能是名词或代词,而非限定性定语从句的先行词则可以是名词或代词,也可以是短语或句子。People who take physical exercise live longer.
进行体育锻炼的人活得长些。(若把从句去掉句子就失去意义)
His daughter,who is in Boston now,is coming home next week.
他女儿现在在波士顿,下星期回来。(若把从句去掉句子意义仍然完整)
He changed his mind,which made me very angry.
他改变了主意,这使我很生气。(which指整个主句)【教师备课资源】
as与which引导非限制性定语从句的区别
两者之间的区别在于:
1.which 引导的定语从句只能位于主句后,但as引导的从句可位于主句前、中、后。
2.as在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语通常要有be或别的系动词,但which不受此限制。
3.as 引导的定语从句只表示一个众所周知或意料之中的事,但 which 不受此限制。4.as有“正如”之意,而which则意为“这(件事,一点)”,可用and this/that/it来代替。
5.as多用于固定搭配中:as is often the case(这是常有的事),as was expected(不出所料),as often happens(正如经常发生的那样),as is known to all(众所周知),as has been said before(如上所述),as is mentioned above(正如上面所提到的)等。【对接高考】
(2013·江苏高考)The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China, he remembers starting as early as his childhood.
A.where B.which
C.what D.when【解析】 句意:世界银行行长说,他热爱中国,这种热爱他记得早在童年时就开始了。通过分析句子结构可知,The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China为主句,通过还原法可知定语从句是he remembers his passion for China starting as early as his childhood,从句中his passion starting为动名词复合结构。his passion用which替代。when和where虽然可以引导定语从句,但是它们在定语从句中是分别用来作时间状语和地点状语的,不能指代passion;what不能用来引导定语从句,故排除。

1.委婉语(euphemism)是用比喻、 、 、迂回、缩略和喻指等手法来表达生活中那些使人 ,惹人不快,招人厌恶和令人恐惧的事物的 形式。
2.委婉语能使在某种场合不便 或不能直说的事物,用另一种 得以表达,使人们避免了许多 的局面,减少不必要的误会和不快,以谋求理想的交际效果。
【答案】 1.含蓄;借代;尴尬;修辞 2.直说;方式;难堪英语委婉语一般可分成两大类:传统委婉语(traditional euphemisms)和文体委婉语(stylistic euphemisms)。所谓传统委婉语亦称是与禁忌语密切相关的。像生、病、死、葬、性、裸、拉、撒等禁忌事物,如果直接表达,那就是禁忌语,给人的感觉是粗鄙,生硬,刺耳,无礼。反之,如果间接表达,这就是委婉语,给人的印象是典雅,含蓄,中听,有礼。所谓文体委婉语,实际上是恭维话、溢美之词,与禁忌语并无关系。英、美(尤其是当代美国人)在交际过程中,为了表示礼貌,为了避免刺激,或是为了争取合作,有时会采用夸饰的手法,对一些令人不快的事物以美言相称。委婉语使用的范围十分广泛:例1 “死亡”的委婉语
在英语里,表达“死”的委婉语很多,最常用的有:pass away(过世),to go west(归西天),tick the bucket(翘辫子),turn up one's toes(伸脚趾),to go to sleep(长眠),to be no more(没了,不在了),to close one's eyes(闭眼),to lay down one's life(牺牲),to expire(逝世),to breathe one's last(咽气),to end one's day(寿终),to pay the debt of nature(了结尘缘),to cross over to the other side(去世),to go to the happy hunting ground(去世)等。
例2 “贫穷”的委婉语
汉语中有“拮据”、“手头紧”、“囊中羞涩”表示贫困,英语中表示“贫穷”的委婉语有:badly off(短缺的),less well off(不太宽裕的),indigent(缺少钱物的),down on one's luck(时运不济),hard up for money(缺钱),in difficulty(处于困境)。而have-nots(不富有的人)或a man of modest means(财产不多的人)或negative saver(积蓄为负值的人)都是“穷人”的婉称。美国对收入低于生活标准的个人或家庭的补助也被称作“税”,即“逆所得税”(negative income tax)。
贫穷落后的发展中国家可说成developing countries或the Third world(第三世界)。例3 “老”的委婉语
年龄是西方国家的一个敏感话题,可用多种委婉形式表达“老”,如:senior citizen,people in advanced years,elderly people,third age,to feel one's age,mature等。
而“养老院”就称为a rest home(休养所),a private hospital(私人医院),a nursing home(护理之家)等。由于英汉文化的差异,一种语言中的委婉表达在另一种语言中找不到相对应的表达方式,甚至连相近的表达也没有。例如汉语中有贵校,寒舍,惠存,贱内等的表达,英语中没有,这主要是因为汉语文化中,人们常使用谦词来表示对对方的礼貌与尊敬,而西方人难以理解汉语文化中的这种谦虚心理,因此英语中也不存在相对应的委婉的表达。英汉语中的委婉语涉及社会生活的各个方面,是各自文化的具体表现,在交际过程中起到了举足轻重的作用,因此我们在日常的语言学习中,一定要注意委婉语的积累和使用。避免不必要的误会,以便达到成功的交际,这是语言学习的最终目的。 课件82张PPT。Ⅰ.判断正误

(2013·辽宁高考)One can always manage to do more things,no matter full one's schedule is in life.
A.how B.what
C.when D.where【解析】 句意:无论一个人的生活日程有多么满,他总能设法做更多的事情。本句中“no matter+疑问词”结构引导让步状语从句,因为要修饰空格后的形容词full,故用how,no matter how意为“无论多么……”。no matter what意为“无论什么”;no matter when意为“无论何时”;no matter where意为“无论何地”。
【答案】 A
【答案】 ①No matter what/Whatever happens ②No matter when/Whenever we meet him ③Whoever breaks the law或Whoever/No matter who breaks the law,he如何写演讲稿
演讲的目的是阐述演讲者的观点,并且通过演讲者的语言感染力让听众理解并接受其观点。因此,演讲稿在写作时要做到观点明确,层次分明,论据有力。
一、英语演讲稿的基本组成部分是:
1.开始时对听众的称呼语
最常用的是 Ladies and gentlemen,也可根据不同情况,选用 Fellow students,Distinguished guests,Mr.Chairman,Honorable Judges(评委)等等。2.提出论题
由于演讲的时间限制,必须开门见山,提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样,但最生动、最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如:你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子,你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外,用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法,比如:你要谈遵守交通规则的话题,你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。3.论证
对提出的论题,不可主观地妄下结论,而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下工夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等。
4.结论
结论要简明扼要,以给听众留下深刻印象。5.结尾
结尾要简洁,不要拉拉扯扯,说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响,说些类似“准备不足,请谅解”,“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是:Thank you very much for your attention。

【答案】 1.As we all know 2.without being noticed
3.Only when the opportunity has left us;do we realize 4. are used to waiting for opportunity 5.but【参考范文】
Ladies and gentlemen,
As we all know,everyone in the world wants to succeed.As a matter of fact,opportunity comes once in a while.On most occasions,it appears without being noticed.Only when the opportunity has left us,do we realize that we have lost it.
Some people know the importance of opportunity.They understand opportunity is a factor in achieving success.So they are always ready for an opportunity when it arrives.However,other people give up their efforts to seek opportunity and grasp it.They are used to waiting for opportunity to come knocking on their doors.
All people are given opportunity,but only the more hard-working people seize it.
Thank you for listening.
