He knew he was in trouble, so he decided to make fun of them. He was a law student at the university, so he knew the law very well, better than most people.When the policemen came to his car, Andrew asked one of the policemen to write down in his notebook everything they said. The policemen had to do this because it is the law, although people usually dont know it. The policemen tested Andrews breath and thebreathalyzershowed that he had too much alcohol in his blood. This all took a long time because the policemen had to write down everything that he and the policemen said.In the end, by law, the policemen had to ask Andrew if he wanted to say anything. Andrew decided that he had two things to say and the policemen had to write down. The first thing was “Please dont hit me again, officer”. And the second thing was “Does the other officer want 5, too?” Of course, the poor policeman had to read this in court, in front of the judge , and he was very embarrassed. Andrew, who was in court, thought it was very funny, until the judge took away his license for a year and fined（罚款）him 100, 90 for drunk driving, and 10 for his rudeness!34 .

The four passages above are _.Apieces of newsBlettersCtelephone messagesDadvertisementsMost people will answer a ringing phone. Usually you dont know who is phoning or how urgent their business is, so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore. In one experiment, a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. Then he called the numbers. Someone nearly always answered. When he asked why, people usually said, “Because it rang.” A few years ago in New Jersey, a man with a gun killed 13 people. Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out. A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called. The man put down his gun and answered the phone. “What do you want?” he said, “Im really busy right now.” Imagine youre at work and the phone is ringing in someone elses office. Do you answer it or not? In one survey on telephone use, 51% of participants(参与者) told researchers that they did. We cant ignore the phone and for that reason, it forces its way into our lives. It interrupts（打扰） what we are doing and on top of that, the caller is often someone we dont really want to talk to. However, in the survey, 58% said they never turned off the phone, and 67% didnt mind if someone called during a television program. For 44% it wasnt a problem if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were angry. If someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened, while around 30% got angry. Of course, when someone is really angry, you can choose to hang up on them. This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone, but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases. Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.41 . The gunman answered the phone because _.Ahe decided to give in to the policeBit was difficult to ignore a ringing phoneChe was angry at the ringing phoneDhe decided to be friendly with the media42 .

The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is， the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. Its just a simple talking， Although Im a shy man， Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned：Keep your speech simple. Your audience cant take all of your main ideas， and they can only remember one or two of them， not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you cant express what you want to say， then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say， your audience wont， either.Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is， you have to organize your speechhow you are going to open or begin， what main points you want to make and how youre going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的)： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not， they will be confused.Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people cant put their minds in one thing for too long time， which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audiences reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course， your speech will fail. Following these suggestions above， you can make a good speech in public， and you will be an excellent speaker， I think.Title： How to make a【小题1】speechTechniqueReasonsRequirementsKeep it simpleYou should think about your idea well enough【小题2】one or two of your main ideas well.If you have a【小题3】idea of what you want to say， your audience will have， too.Organize it well.You should get your speech well【小题4】Know very well about the【小题5】，main points and ending of the speechIf you dont， the【小题6】will be confused.Keep it【小题7】Your speech should be short enough to attract your audiences attention and【小题8】.Make your speech as short as【小题9】.If you dont， the audience will feel【小题10】.十、材料作文77 . 假如你是李振国，你的美国笔友Cathy最近对中文很感兴趣，写信给你询问如何学好中文。请你根据以下提示内容，给她写一封回信。提示：How to learn Chinese well1read Chinese newspapers and magazines2listen to Chinese songs3speak Chinese as much as possible4keep a Chinese diary要求：（1）内容必须包括表格中所提供的所有信息，可适当发挥（2）文中不得出现考生真实姓名和学校名称。（3）词数80个左右（开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数）Dear Cathy,Im very glad to receive (收到) your letter. _I hope the advice will help you learn Chinese well.
