• 2．Stuttering （口吃）has nothing to do with intelligence．I know this because I stutter．If it takes me a while longer to say a word，it's not because I can't remember the word；it's because the neural （神經(jīng)的） pathway that transforms words in my head into sounds in my mouth is wired differently．And differences，of course，are the best way to get negative attention in our society．Taking extra time to get my words out can surely be frustrating，but that's nothing compared to the misery of dealing with people's reactions．
     Almost all children who stutter are discouraged from speaking in one way or another．It's usually not as direct as someone walking up to them and saying， "Hey，stuttering kid!Keep your mouth shut!" But when your voice causes adults and peers to snicker （竊笑）or roll their eyes，it's pretty discouraging．
     Growing up，I learned to avoid speaking whenever possible．I hated what came out of my mouth，full of awkward breaks and pauses．I figured whatever future I had，it probably involved a vow of silence．
     Today I'm a touring author and comedian．It took me 30-something years to get over stuttering．Did I stop stuttering？No!I couldn't stop if I wanted to．But I stopped wanting to stop．Instead of wasting all my time and energy trying to meet unattainable standards，I learned that it's OK to stutter．And I learned by example．I attended the National Stuttering Association conference and met all kinds of people who stutter-people who didn't hate themselves，who didn't silence themselves．They stuttered，and they were OK with it!I remember watching them and thinking， "That's who I want to be!"
    There's a popular saying in comedy： "Your weakness is your strength．" When I first entered my local open-mic scene，I was quickly met with some "smart" guys looking to score a cheap laugh at my expense．I remember introducing myself to one comedian and stuttering on my name，as I usually do．Eager to demonstrate his smartness，he replied， "Is that Nina with five Ns？" "No，" I said， "it's Nina with two Ns!" Just like that，I had created a joke as the result of someone making fun of my stutter．
     To this day，whenever I need inspiration for a new joke，I just think about all the ridiculous comments I get from non-stuttering people．It's a comedy gold mine!
  
  （1）It takes the author longer to say a word because she has

  ．
  A．a(chǎn) comparatively low IQ
  B．trouble in organizing ideas
  C．a(chǎn) relatively small brain
  D．problems in her neural system
  （2）What annoys the author most about her stuttering is

  ．
  A．the unfriendly reactions of others
  B．the difficulty in memorising words
  C．her unpromising future as a stutterer
  D．her embarrassing pauses during talks
  （3）The author got over stuttering by

  ．
  A．a(chǎn)djusting her attitude towards it
  B．getting help from non-stutterers
  C．telling herself constantly to stop it
  D．silencing herself whenever possible
  （4）Paragraph 5 is mainly about the author's

  ．
  A．success as a comedian
  B．respect for other comedians
  C．resistance to others' strength
  D．a(chǎn)cceptance of her imperfection

• 3．Researchers at the University of Alabama in Birmingham suggest that brainwave-sensing headsets （耳麥），also known as EEG headsets，need to do more to protect users after a study which shows hackers （黑客） could guess a user's bank account passwords by monitoring his brainwaves.
      Nitesh Saxena，Ph.D.，professor in the UAB College of Computer and Information Sciences Department，and his team found that a person who stopped a video game and entered into a bank account while wearing an EEG headset was at a risk for having his passwords stolen by a bad software program.Saxena and his team used one EEG headset that could be bought by customers online to show how easily an ill software program could eavesdrop on a user's brainwaves.While typing，a user's inputs meet with their visual processing，as well as hand，eye and head muscle movements.All these movements are caught by EEG headsets.
     The team asked 12 people to type passwords into a text box as if they were entering into an online account while wearing an EEG headset，in order for the software to train itself on the user's typing and the present brainwave.The team found that，after a user entered passwords within the ill software program that could make educated guesses about the passwords，the user entered by reading the EEG data recorded.It increased the chance of guessing a six-letter password from one in 500，000 to one in 5.
     "Given the growing popularity of EEG headsets and the different ways in which they could be used，they will become part of our daily lives，" Saxena said. "It is important to study the possible risks together with this new technology to raise users' attention to the risks and develop solutions to the bad attacks." One possible solution suggested by Saxena and his team is the insertion（插 入）of noises anytime a user types a password while wearing an EEG headset.
  
  （1）How do hackers guess passwords of a user's bank account？

  
  A．They use a software program.
  B．They use a new-type computer.
  C．They guess the user's brainwaves.
  D．They talk with the user on the net.
  （2）The underlined words "eavesdrop on" in Paragraph 2 refer to "

  ".
  A．make full use of
  B．watch carefully
  C．record or write down
  D．gain or get secretly
  （3）What was the result of the research of Saxena and his team in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．They made a very exact answer.
  B．They got close to the passwords.
  C．They got a part of the passwords.
  D．They failed to get the passwords.
  （4）Why do EEG headsets need to do more to develop solutions？

  
  A．More and more hackers come about.
  B．More people use online bank accounts.
  C．EEG headsets will become more popular.
  D．EEG headsets still have problems in quality.

• 4．"There's no place like home." This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head.And for many young adults，it's the only affordable place to stay；somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad.But this comes at a price!
      In some countries，it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents，but in other places，flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable.But there's been a growing trend，in the UK at least，for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.
      A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt，compared with 8% last year.More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year.So，it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
      The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts.But for the 'hoteliers'，that's mum and dad，the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply，and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their 'big kids'.Emma Craig from Money supermarket says "they're trying to look after their children more.If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute.It tugs on your heartstrings more."
      With parents splashing out around ￡1，886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring，it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home.That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
  
  （1）Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions？

  
  A．A lazy youth，an awful age.
  B．East or west，home is best.
  C．Two heads are better than one.
  D．Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
  （2）Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds？

  
  A．The popularity of living independently.
  B．Looking after their old parents.
  C．The increase of unemployment rate.
  D．Their parents' financial offer.
  （3）What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Uncertain.
  C．Objective.
  D．Understandable.
  （4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
  B．Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
  C．Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
  D．Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.

• 5．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，relaxed 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.
