19、 The true loveD It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not

20、know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if

21、 nothing happened. Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles（结巴） his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? B

22、ecause you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skatin

23、g competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work

24、 on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.12. You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _. A. your attention is on the content B. you dont fully understand the speechC. you dont know what the

25、 speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important13. People always worry about making mistakes in a speech because _.A. they consider speech-making as an act of communicationB. they think speech-making is a kind of performanceC. they regard speech-making as a kind of performan

26、ce as well as an act of communicationD. they want to be perfect14. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker

27、 makes, the more attractive he will be15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker B. How to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Dont Expect a Perfect Speech D.
