【2013】Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
51　　，so get help．Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses，here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you．
•Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well．Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well．
52　　，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do．
53　　
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts，walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about．54　　．As far as we're concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking．Your audience can be your friends．
You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly，good public speaking training should treat you as a special one，with your own personal habits．55　　．Your training course should help you bring out your personality，not try to turn you into someone you're not．
A．You aren't like anybody else
B．You already do lots of things well
C．Turn your back on too many rules
D．Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E．Whatever the presentation，public speaking is tough
F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse．

Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time，36　　Money is a topic I'll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
①Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat．So think about of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials ready？37　　
②Make your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread？38　　 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So save yourself the effort for a future meal．
③39　　 This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．
Hopefully that gives you a good start．40　　 and don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things．
B．Ability is easily improved．
C．Make three or four instead．
D．Understand your food better．
E．Cooking is a burden for many people．
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden．
G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on．

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady，gradual increases in the length of the runs．36　　，buy the best﹣fitting，best﹣built running shoes you can find．No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet，so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop．When you have found shoes that seem right，walk in them for a few days to double﹣check the fit．37　　．As always，you should stretch（伸展） at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries．
During the first week，do not think about distance，but run five minutes longer each day．38　　，it is wise to take a day off to rest．But during the next week，set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run．39　　．After two weeks，start timing yourself．40　　．Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter，you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race．

A．After six days
B．For a good marathon runner
C．Before you begin your training
D．With each day，increase the distance by a half mile
E．If they still feel good，you can begin running in them
F．Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training
G．Now you are ready to figure out a goal of improving distance and time．

A garden that's just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you，where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum（总和） of its parts？36　　．But it doesn't happen by accident．It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process．
●37　　
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants，flowers，patterns and masses of color．Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers（肥料）．38　　．However，there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden．One of them comes from our earliest years．
●Recall（回忆）your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood．Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad，but that's not what's important．39　　﹣﹣how being in those gardens made us feel．If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden，start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth．40　　then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown﹣up garden．Have fun．

A．Know why you garden
B．Find a good place for your own garden
C．It's our experience of the garden that matters
D．It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E．Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F．You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden，too
G．For each of those gardens，writer down the strongest memory you have．

Everyone knows that fish is good for health．16　　But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home．Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year，but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home．Buying，storing，and cooking fish isn't difficult．17　　This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way．
18　　Fresh fish should smell sweet：you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge．Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh．19　　When you have bought a fish and arrive home，you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately，but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two．Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one．
There are many common methods used to cook fish．20　　First，clean it and season it with your choice of spices（调料）．Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound．（A larger one will take more time．）Then，it's ready to serve．

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 36 Here is how to make one.
● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
l Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
l Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39
l Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.

A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.
