Extract 1
Last year I started work with a new company. Unfortunately, in my new role I was required to speak in public, at conferences. The thought filled me with dread, because I was sure my voice was boring. Also, I wouldn’t know what to say. Anyway, when the time came I tried not to panic, and went back to first principles: I made a plan, first deciding my key message. This gave me a structure, and was the first step to dispelling my nerves.
Then I found a voice coach who taught me how to relax and breathe properly. Suddenly there was power behind my voice and I found I was in control. It was like going to a vocal gym. Instead of gabbling my sentences, I slowed down and took time to enjoy the words.
I lacked the confidence at first to speak without a script, but I learnt not to write everything down to the last word—the audience switched off when I did that. A friend gave me the tip of memorizing the first few sentences, then I could make eye contact with the people I was speaking to—engage with them.
Extract 2
The invention of banking preceded that of coinage. Banking originated something like 4,000 years ago in Ancient Mesopotamia, in present-day Iraq, where the royal palaces and temples provided secure places for the safekeeping of grain and other commodities. Receipts came to be used for transfers not only to the original depositors but also to third parties.
In Ancient Egypt too, the centralization of harvests in state warehouses led to the development of a system of banking. Written orders for the withdrawal of separate lots of grain by owners whose crops had been deposited there for safety and convenience, or which had been compulsorily deposited to the credit of the king, soon became used us a more general method of payment of debts to other people, including tax gatherers, priests and traders. Even after the introduction of coinage, these Egyptian grain banks served to reduce the need for precious metals, which tended to be reserved for foreign purchases, particularly in connection with military activities.
Extract 3
One problem when writing family histories is knowing how to show people what your family is like. Recording their recollections is the best method, but this is difficult if, like my family, they communicate chiefly through shrugs and raised eyebrows. At one point I thought I had so little material I’d have to give up altogether, but then it dawned on me—my family may be an extreme case, but this is true to a certain extent of all families. Being so familiar with each other, we had learnt to read each other’s facial expressions like meteorologists reading a sky. [br] In Extract 3, what does the writer say happened during the course of his research?
选项
A、He learned to understand his own family’s manner of communication.
B、He realized his family was not very different from other families.
C、He found a way of presenting his family to the reading public.
D、He changed his opinion of the relationships within his family.
