i can well remember that i was once asked to deliver a speech titled “a real test in my life” before the whole class at the age of 9 ! you can imagine how  （1） (terrible)shy i was the moment i thought of that-with so many eyes （2） (fix)upon me. i had no（3） (choose) but to prepare for it,though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part   （4） (lie)in my oral presentation from my memory, for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began   （5）  I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my  （6） (listen)were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, giving out my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding—I made   （7） !From then on, my fear of talking before a big audience  （8） 

(appear). Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way  （9） success is our fear.Overcome it,   （10） we will be able to achieve our goals.

Aesop(伊索) was a slave living around 550 BC. We call the stories he wrote fables, as every story has a moral. Almost all the fables he wrote are (1) (humor) and entertaining, appealing to people (2) all ages. Till now, Aesop’s fables(3) (translate) into many languages and are known all over the world.Not only (4) the fables themselves lived for nearly 1500 years, but the (5)(express) from them have entered various languages.

One fable, for instance, is about a farmer who was driving his cart along a country road. The cart got (6)(stick) in the mud, but the farmer made (7) effort to get it out.Instead, he began to pray to the gods for help. The god Hercules finally appeared and told (8) man to get busy and push (9). “Push your shoulder to the wheel.” Hercules advised.

The moral of the story is clear.We mustn’t rely on others for help. Another saying which has come from the fable is “God helps those (10) help themselves.”

Body language is very useful. All of us   (1)  (use) it before.

When we talk with others, we make ourselves   (2)   (understand) not only by our words but also by our body language.

Body language is quiet, secret but   (3)  (power), which speaks   (4)  (loud)than words. In fact, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. On the other hand, body language is so important when we attempt to communicate across cultures that misunderstandings occur as a result of it. For example, different societies treat the distance   (5)   people differently.

When two parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong   (6)  (possible) of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice   (7)  (avoid)misunderstanding is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to   (8)  (treat).

Body language,  (9)  (wide)used in everyday life, is the best way   (10)  helps you communicate smoothly.
