If you have stage fright, or the anxiety or fear of speaking in public, you are not alone. Stage fright or performance anxiety is a natural phenomenon. The good news is that one can completely overcome stage fright. Here are some tips to help you overcome stage fright.
Understand the symptoms(症状)of a stage fright. You feel anxious, your throat tightens up, you start sweating, you forget all that you have memorized, and your knees and legs feel weak. Your heart literally explodes and every part of you is asking you to run. But be relaxed. Many top actors and actresses have experienced these similar symptoms of stage fright. 1.
Plan well. One of the first keys of public speaking (or singing, playing the piano or acting) is to plan well. First, thoroughly(彻底地) study the subject you are going to talk about. 2. Besides knowing your subject well, it’s also necessary to do some research on your audience. Adequate planning on these aspects will help you achieve the maximum of your potential.
Keep eye contact. 3. Your influence will decrease considerably if they think you are talking over their heads. Keeping eye contact can also help you see their body language.
Focus on breathing. Your mind is deeply connected to your breath. 4.It can help you stay mindful and avoid thoughts about past failures.
5. Preparation is the key to overcoming symptoms of stage fright. When you practice your speech a thousand times, you will relax in the knowledge that you will be confidently speaking without fear. Prepare so you can relax during the task.
A. Practice as much as possible.
B. Therefore, don’t be too worried.
C. Second, you need to know your audience.
D. The audience like to see you looking at them.
E. So arrive early to get comfortable in the environment.
F. Second, you should use visual aids and technology wisely.
G. The longer and deeper your breath is, the calmer your mind will be.
Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK’s first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?
One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK’s first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn’t all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access. with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.
The wider application is to support connected equipment on the “internet of things” -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.
Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.
Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5G phone well before 5G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.
1.Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes”?
A.He is in favor of the application of the new technology.
B.5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.
C.5G helps people communicate better with each other.
D.He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.
2.The underlined word “addressing” in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to .
A.making a speech to B.trying to solve
C.managing to decrease D.responding to
3.The last paragraph indicates that .
A.it’ll take several years to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK
B.5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market
C.customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G ones
D.it’s probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain
4.What do we know about the text?
A.Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.
B.Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G .
C.The application of 5G will make life much easier.
D.5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.
Almost every college and university in the US now offers some forms of Internet–based application. However, students may miss a lot when they only use Internet information to make their college decisions. Some people believe that the best way to get a detailed look at what life is like at any college or university is by visiting the campus.
At present, school visits are becoming popular in the US. Most students begin visiting colleges and universities that they are interested in before their final year of high school. The majority of colleges and universities let interested students visit their campuses at any time of a year. Students can contact the admission offices of the schools that interest them. Current students usually lead the tours. Their job is to provide information, offer advice and show future students different parts of the campus, such as housing and classrooms. During the visit, students should also try to plan a meeting with an admission official. Most schools keep a record of all the exchanges they have with candidates. Trying to meet with officials in person to ask them questions shows interest on the part of the applicant, which schools like to see.
It’s never too early to visit a school. This could be years before they even start thinking about the application process. Simply witnessing the college experience in real life can be helpful for young people. That is why some applicants even bring younger brothers and sisters with them on visits.
However, visiting schools may not be a choice appropriate to everyone, especially international (国际的)students, so for students who are unable to visit, there is one additional resource: social media. Many schools use Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to advertise themselves. Schools will permit students to post videos and pictures that show what their daily lives are like at college. These can provide applicants with a view that is almost as good as being there in person.
1.What’s the most common way to apply for a college?
A.By visiting the campus. B.By surfing the Internet.
C.By writing a letter. D.By making a call.
2.Who are more likely to offer information to the visiting students?
A.Admission officials. B.Volunteers.
C.Students at school. D.Graduates.
3.Which word can replace the underlined word “appropriate” in the last paragraph?
A.Suitable. B.Familiar.
C.Equal. D.Related.
4.What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To give some advice. B.To show a phenomenon.
C.To compare the changes. D.To attract more students.
