Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores What can’t you be bothered to do
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy that they would catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health,Britain’s largest health centre.The results were astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of the 654 respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖的) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey,medical director of Nuffield Health,said,“People need to get fitter,not just for their own sake,but for the sake of their families,friends and evidently their pets too.”
“If we don’t start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary tasks.”
And Scotland’s largest city,Glasgow,was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK,with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise,followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
1.What causes children in the UK to be obese
A.Eating ready meals.
B.Watching TV.
C.Doing Internet shopping.
D.Being lazy.
2.What can be inferred from the passage
A.British people are too lazy to do anything.
B.Internet shopping will do harm to your health.
C.Many people would run to catch a bus in Britain.
D.People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A.One sixth of British people use remote controls when watching TV.
B.People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.
C.Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
D.More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.
4.What does the underlined word “rudimentary” most probably mean
A.Basic.
B.Serious.
C.Vital.
D.Hard.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other.It’s not only the law,but it’s an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honour it:we don’t go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互的) trust,not distrust.We do what we say we’ll do;we show up when we say we’ll show up;and we pay when we say we’ll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organisation that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for waiting for the red light that night.
5.Why did the author get impatient while driving
A.He was lonely on the road.
B.He was slowed down by a truck.
C.He got tired of driving too long.
D.He came across too many traffic lights.
6.What was the author’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red
A.Bringing the car to a stop.
B.Driving through it.
C.Looking around for other cars.
D.Checking out for traffic police.
7.The event made the author strongly believe that .
A.traffic rules may be unnecessary
B.doubting others is human nature
C.patience is important to drivers
D.a society needs mutual trust
8.Why was the author proud of himself
A.He kept his promise.
B.He held back his anger.
C.He followed his inclination.
D.He made a right decision.
五、语篇填空
Now whenever I get close to 1. (lose) my patience,I’ll think of a report that I watched on TV years ago.It 2. (report) that nearly 100,000 people died from traffic accidents that year,causing a lot of damage and pain for individuals and society.Road safety has aroused 3. (wide) attention of the public than ever before.In recent years,many rules 4. (make) to reduce the traffic crashes,especially for the ones 5. (involve) in the pedestrians.As far as I’m concerned,we should take road safety 6.(serious) in our daily life.While using the road,we must walk on the pavement,take notice of the traffic lights and learn to protect 7.

All 8. all,life is so precious that we can’t afford to lose it.Obeying the traffic rules is 9. all of us should pay attention to.Only by attaching great importance to traffic safety can we all live 10. better life.

四、1.D 推理判断题。根据第六段“This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese before they start school.”可推知, This指代“being lazy”。
2.D 推理判断题。最后两段谈的是英国有哪些城市缺乏活力,而且最后一段谈到了缺乏活力所导致的后果。A、B两项均过于扩大概念,而文中谈到被询问的人中超过三分之一的人不愿跑着赶公共汽车,排除C项,故选D项。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,有六分之一被调查的人会在遥控器坏了时继续看同一个频道,而不是六分之一的人用遥控器,故A项错误。
4.A 词义猜测题。根据“If we don’t start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary tasks.”可以看出,作者是在强调“如果我们不控制懒散这一问题,那我们整体一代人甚至将不能胜任最基本的工作”。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road...”可知,一辆大卡车行驶得很慢,而且挡在前面使作者无法超车,所以作者变得越来越不耐烦。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的it turned red and I made a stop可知,作者的第一反应是停车。看到没有警察想要闯红灯是自己假设的想法,但却没有这么做。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段可知,在没有警察、没有危险的情况下作者也没有闯红灯,这件事告诉我们应该互相信任,结合“The whole construction of our society depends on mutual trust...”得出答案为D项。
8.A 推理判断题。最后一段解释了作者自豪的原因是waiting for the red light that night,结合前文所说,作者做到了“言必行”,信守诺言而没有闯红灯,为整个社会的相互信任做了一件让自己自豪的事情。遇到红灯停车是作者的本能反应,所以不能说是一个正确的决定。

二、阅读理解
For Western designers,China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,”says Amanda Hill,chief creative officer at A+E Networks,a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year,the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art,with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.The exhibition had record attendance,showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world,which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.”Of course,not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera Wang,Alexander Wang,Jason Wu are taking on Galliano,Albaz,Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,”adds Hill.
For Hill,it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese,so are the models,and so are the consumers,”she says.“China is no longer just another market;in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today,you are talking about China—its influences,its direction,its breathtaking clothes,and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
1.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A.It promoted the sales of artworks.
B.It attracted a large number of visitors.
C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
2.What does Hill say about Chinese women
A.They are setting the fashion.
B.They start many fashion campaigns.
C.They admire super models.
D.They do business all over the world.
3.What do the underlined words “taking on” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Learning from.
B.Looking down on.
C.Working with.
D.Competing against.
4.What can be a suitable title for the passage
A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C.Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

Much against the 7 of his concerned students,the old master gladly accepted the young man’s challenge.As the two prepared for the 8 ,the young man began to throw insults 9 the old master.He threw dirt and spit in his face.For hours he verbally(口头地) 10 him with every insult known to mankind.But the old master 11 stood there without moving and with a calm attitude.Finally,the young man got 12 .Knowing he was defeated,he left feeling shamed.
Somewhat disappointed that he did not fight the 13 youth,the students gathered around the old master and questioned him,“How could you stand for such insults How did you 14 him away ”

3.D 词义猜测题。画线短语前提到“当代一些最优秀的时装设计师本身就是中国人”,接着列举了“Vera Wang,Alexander Wang,Jason Wu”三个例子,再结合下文的句意“在设计和销售方面都击败了他们”可知,该短语的意思应是“与……竞争”,故选D项。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第三段和最后一段最后一句可知,本文主要讲述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响,展现了中国对国际时尚和设计发展的引领作用。故D项“中国文化推动国际时尚潮流”最适合作为本文的标题。

9.D at表示瞄准目标。

Like most of us,I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.The arugula(芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad,rounding out a roast chicken dinner.But I ended up working late.Then friends called with a dinner invitation.I stuck the chicken in the freezer.But as days passed,the arugula went bad.Even worse,I had unthinkingly bought way too much;I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry,“food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story.It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water,fuel,and other resources used to grow it.That makes food waste an environmental problem.In fact,Royte writes,“If food waste were a country,it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand,let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator.Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him,it’s more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington,D.C.,which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals.Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished(有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields.And the strawberries Volunteers will wash,cut,and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious,yet so often we just don’t think.“Everyone can play a part in reducing waste,whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
24.What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story
A.We pay little attention to food waste.
B.We waste food unintentionally at times.
C.We waste more vegetables than meat.
D.We have good reasons for wasting food.
25.What is a consequence of food waste according to the text
A.Moral decline.
B.Environmental harm.
C.Energy shortage.
D.Worldwide starvation.
26.What does Curtin’s company do
A.It produces kitchen equipment.
B.It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C.It helps local farmers grow fruits.
D.It makes meals out of unwanted food.
27.What does Curtin suggest people do
A.Buy only what is needed.
B.Reduce food consumption.
C.Go shopping once a week.
D.Eat in restaurants less often.

“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day.Next!”The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words came out in the same tone(腔调) with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviours that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say.“Oh,you just had a tooth out I’m terribly sorry,but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they would love to.
28.How does the author understand Maxie’s words
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
29.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A.The salesgirl is rude.
B.The salesgirl is bored.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
30.By saying “Have a nice day”,a stranger may .
A.try to be polite to you
B.express respect to you
C.give his or her blessing to you
D.share his or her pleasure with you
31.According to the last paragraph,people say “Have a nice day” .
A.sincerely B.as thanks
C.as a habit D.encouragingly

They block entrances,crowd street corners and tip onto their sides,turning a convenient form of transportation into a sidewalk danger that is particularly dangerous for the elderly and disabled.
Now a new California company is working on a possible solution for stopping the chaos caused by electric scooters(滑板车) in cities around the country.The company,known as Swift Mile,has unattended charging stations for e-scooters that are designed to serve as a place where riders can park the scooters between rides.The company’s founder,Colin Roche,said the solar-powered charging stations—which can accommodate any brand of e-scooter—are most suitable for areas that are often crowded with the scooters,such as bus and subway stations.
As the weather warms and ridership increases,that struggle is expected to intensify.On one side of the debate,experts say,are cities whose leaders want to reduce traffic and encourage alternative,environmentally-friendly patterns of transportation to battle against climate change and promote innovation(创新).Some local officials also fear that restricting scooter companies will cast cities in an outdated light,discouraging technology companies from doing business there in the future.On the other side of the debate are critics who have complained about e-scooter companies for blocking walkways and selling a product whose use has led to thousands of injuries among riders and pedestrians,many of them severe.
Pat Burt,former Palo Alto mayor who is currently advising Swift Mile,said the future of e-scooters could depend heavily on what happened in 2019.Cities have identified the benefits of e-scooters as well as the drawbacks,which could become existential for the companies.“If the safety and other problems aren’t addressed,I think cities will restrict them even more,”he said.“But there’s a good chance that scooters will be adopted universally if these problems get solved.”
32.What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A.The elderly are easy to get injured.
B.E-scooters are difficult to find.
C.Many problems are caused by e-scooters.
D.New inventions provide people with convenience.
33.What can e-scooter owners do at the charging station
A.Park their e-scooters.
B.Get their e-scooters repaired.
C.Have their e-scooters cleaned.
D.Charge their e-scooters for free.
34.What benefits can e-scooters bring to the cities
A.Attracting more tourists.
B.Reducing traffic pressure.
C.Making the roads much safer.
D.Increasing the local company’s profits.
35.What decides the future of e-scooters according to Pat Burt
A.The public’s attitude.
B.The improvement of traffic.
C.The solving of present problems.
D.The benefits of the new business model.

Sally had trouble in speaking when she was in public.I’m a nurse and I love kids and dogs.I wanted to use my dog to bring her joy,comfort and confidence.
That morning in January,her teacher led us to a room by the school office.“Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home for two years,”she told me.“Her parents have taken her to doctors,but nothing has worked.” Sally stood shyly just inside the doorway.Her eyes brightened when she noticed my dog.
“It is my dog,Bella,” I said.“Would you like to play with her Bella doesn’t know anyone here and she’d like to meet you.She can understand my hand signals(手势).Would you like to see that ”
Sally nodded.I showed Bella some hand signals,then Bella lay down and then rolled over.Sally was cheered up.“She’ll do it for you too.I can teach you,” I said.
I could see that Sally treated Bella as her best friend and they were happy to stay with each other.Soon Bella was able to follow Sally’s commands(指令).I could see something had been changed little by little.
One morning,when she was playing with Bella,I heard a low voice “Good dog”.I wanted to jump for joy.Sally spoke a little more each week,only to Bella at first,but then to me.Later,she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose.Still,she hadn’t spoken in her classroom.
“Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids that she can understand your voice commands ” Sally asked me one day.An idea came to my mind.Then I said,“Why don’t you do it yourself I know you can.” She agreed.
Now,Sally stood nervously in front of her class,with Bella sitting by her side.

第一节
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday.Informed that I would have an art class in a park instead of in the classroom,I felt thrilled and delighted.
Hardly had we entered the park when we were amazed by the terrific scene of lovely butterflies and birds flying among beautiful trees and flowers.Meanwhile,many people were taking exercise,such as practising tai chi and performing square dances.I took out my tools and began to create a painting to mark the peaceful and harmonious scene.
This art class left me wanting more art classes like this,where I feel more relaxed and creative.I hope my description can give you a glimpse of my unique art class.Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Li Hua

Now,Sally stood nervously in front of her class,with Bella sitting by her side.Her classmates focused on her,waiting for her to speak.She was quite familiar with the hand signals because she had practiced for weeks.However,her mouth seemed frozen tightly.She took a deep breath and was ready to open her mouth.But still,she couldn’t make a sound at all! Sally returned to her seat,not looking at anyone,not even Bella.
The next week,she told me she wanted to try again,looking up at me with determination.I agreed to give her another chance.After she walked to the front of the classroom,all the kids were silent.For a few seconds,she just stood shyly without saying anything.Then,she whispered,“This is Bella.” After that,she gave commands with her hand signals.Her classmates were so surprised to see Bella could understand Sally’s commands! Little by little,her voice was louder with more confidence.She made it this time! How happy we were!

三、阅读理解
When I was in the fourth grade,I worked part-time as a paper boy.Mrs Stanley was one of my customers.She’d watch me coming down her street,and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep,there’d be a cold drink waiting.I’d sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband.“Mr Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say.The first time she said that,soda went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs Stanley talked as if Mr Stanley were still alive.Dad said she was probably lonely,and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile,and maybe she’d work it out of her system.So that’s what I did,and it turned out Dad was right.After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs Stanley for several years.Then we crossed paths at a church fundraiser.She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy.Four years before,she’d had to offer her paper boy a drink to have someone to talk with.Now she had friends.Her husband was gone,but life went on.
I live in the city now,and my paper boy is a lady named Edna with three kids.She asks me how I’m doing.When I don’t say “Fine”,she sticks around to hear my problems.She’s lived in the city most of her life,but she knows about community.Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind.You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care,and not because they’re getting paid to do so.Sometimes it’s good to just smile,nod your head and listen.

Emoji(表情符号) and Workplace Communication
In Asia,messaging platforms are growing rapidly,with users in hundreds of millions,both at work and play. 1 .It’s been reported that 76 percent of employees in some Western countries are using emojis at work.
Written communications can often be regarded as cold and dull.Using emojis can add humour and feeling,keeping intention clear. 2 ,encouraging better and more frequent communication.
In any given office,employees can range from age 22 to age 70 and beyond,and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge. 3 .While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually,for those used to working with traditional tools like email,it may feel like a learning curve(学习曲线).The good news is that it’s simple to learn and can be worth the effort.
There is also the matter of tone(语气).Who hasn’t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day 4 .Emoji can help communication feel friendlier,and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.
5 ,and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome.And when your employees begin adding smiling emojis to their business communication,you’ll know you have succeeded in improving your work culture.
A.Messages with emojis feel more conversational
B.Even a formal email can seem cold and unfriendly
C.Sending smiling faces to colleagues may seem strange
D.The popularity of these platforms is spreading globally
E.Giving employees the tools enables them to communicate honestly
F.Studies show that friendlier communication leads to a happier workplace
G.An easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform
五、语篇填空
In the distant past,friends relied on each other for their survival.They hunted together and defended each other against 1. (danger) animals and enemies.In those days,if you didn’t have a friend,you would either starve,2. (eat) or killed.Nowadays,friendship isn’t 3. (exact) a matter of life and death.However,friendship is still of great importance and not having a friend is something to be 4. (concern) about.Most people look upon a friend as someone they can depend on when they are going 5. times of trouble.In such times,friends provide them with emotional support and sometimes financial help.It is in these troubled times 6. they find out who their true friends are.As the old saying 7. (go),in times of success,friends will be plenty;in times of 8. (suffer),not one in twenty.And there is another saying 9. says you can hardly make a friend in a year,but you can easily upset one in an hour.So do your best to get along with and be grateful to all those who 10. (be) willing to side with you even when you are in trouble as they are your true friends.

The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching,and I’d been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt,“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place.Can’t you see things from my point of view ” I shook my head stubbornly — and felt the ache in my tooth.I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one could see me immediately.Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such a short time Why wasn’t he as busy as the others
In the dentist’s office,I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him ” I asked impatiently.
“Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork ” I was puzzled.
The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was!At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

五、七选五阅读理解
Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 1 Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxing and comfortable.Too often,when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking”. 2 Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message.So,don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 3
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 4 And like everything else in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
5 It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand,you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A.Do the opposite.
B.You want to be an effective public speaker.
C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.
E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G.However,the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
