Slowly, gradually, but _36_. Children are like clocks, marking the passage of time with each new stage of growth. To see a child disappearor _37_， to become aware of their disappearanceis to become aware of losing something you have loved more than anything you have loved in your life before, _38_ will again. As our children grow, we are also _39_ the passing of a roleof ourselves as protectors, indispensable, loved passionately with the need only children and lovers can _40_ us. Think of how these processes of mourning are recorded in songs, my favourite of which, by Nanci Griffith, _41_ me to tears. And yet I go back to it again and again. Why? What are the tears for?They are tears, partly, for loss. _42_， they are simply sentimentalor at least, _43_. Because all life is connected with loss. _44_ is what makes life beautiful and worth living. All that comes and goes away is the heart of beauty. Children are simply the most vivid examples of such cases. So, there are many kinds of tears. We weep at a sad song about children growing up partly because the process _45_ us as tragic. But they may also be tears of the recognition of _46_， because this profound changing brings us closely into touch with the heart of life itself. The idea that we are losing love as our children grow is not true. The love I feel for my two eldest daughters, in their 20s now, has never _47_ with the passing of time. They are independent now. Yet when I look at them sometimes, I feel exactly the same emotion I felt when they were _48_ walking. We do not lose our childrennot _49_ we are very unlucky, or very bad parents. If our desires to _50_ our children really took root, and were acted out, it would be a disaster. Overparented children could not _51_ leave home, ever. We must learn to let go. And _52_ they, too, must let go, as their parents _53_ out of this life, at first gradually then entirely. I have already “lost” my children many timesas babies, as toddlers, as infants. Each time, they are made anewand yet are always, _54_， the same. Parallel changes are happening to me, too, if I am doing it right. _55_， I am always losing my children only in the sense that I am always losing myself. ()36. A. permanently B. eventually C. absolutely D. occasionally()37. A. instead B. otherwise C. rather D. else()38. A. but B. so C. while D. or()39. A. mourning B. celebrating C. stressing D. worshipping()40. A. deliver B. pay C. offer D. show()41. A. inspires B. thrills C. burdens D. reduces()42. A. As usual B. As such C. As expected D. As follows()43. A. unnecessary B. fundamental C. unconditional D. artificial()44. A. Ambiguity B. Gravity C. Frequency D. Inconsistency()45. A. challenges B. regards C. strikes D. describes()46.

Humiliation is the greatest fear; selfexposure and failing to appeal to the audience come a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds. Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of failing in the most public of ways. While extroverts will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better. Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British comedian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect. In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself. Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the audience that the words might not be true. Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that youve been cheated. Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Dianas funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesnt work either. If you spoke as if you were in your kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience. I remember going to see British psychiatrist RD. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it. The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious selfconsciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of “flow”， as psychologists call it, is very satisfying. ()56. “This” in paragraph two refers to _. A. insecurity. B. sense of failure. C. public speaking. D. pressure. ()57. What is the authors view on personality?A. Personality is the key to success in public speaking. B. Outgoing persons are better public speakers. C. Shy persons have to learn harder to be good speakers. D. Factors other than personality ensure better performance. ()58. In the last paragraph the author recommends that _. A. you forget about your nervousness B. you feel natural and speak naturally C. you may feel nervous, but appear naturally D. you may pretend yourself to be natural BOne of the few successes of truth against propaganda(宣传，鼓吹) in recent years has been the rebranding of the “sharing economy” as the “gig economy”. Marketing geniuses from Silicon Valley want us to believe the adhoc sale of labour is a form of utopian paradise, where capitalistic relations are replaced by egalitarianism(平等主义) and “sharing”. The phrase “gig economy” has rightly refocused the debate onto the implications for jobs and labour rights. But the victory has only been halfwon. Too many people still talk about the casualisation(雇佣临时工制) of work as an innovation, as an impersonal, technological and irresistible force to which we must adapt if humanity is to continue its march into the future. Instead of moving back to more exploitative form of labour relations, driven by the wealthy people who own and operate companies, we are told the “gig economy” is merely the inevitable outcome of inventions like the smartphone. The two main flagbearers for the “gig economy” in the UK are Uber, a taxi company, and Deliveroo, a food delivery startup. Both use mobile technology to control their workers and careful legal arrangements to avoid giving them the fights and protections due to employees. Uber is older. It was founded in 2009 and launched in the UK in 2012. Deliveroo, a British business, has only been around for four years. Both were born after the financial crisis and economic decline, which put millions of people out of work and depressed real wages for more than a decade. These services rely on a number of things: the existence of smartphones that enable the requests to be made and responded to; digital mapping technology so people know where to go; algorithims(算法) that make the most efficient matching and routing choices; and buckets of cash to grease the wheels until there is sufficient selfsustaining supply and demand. Most importantly, Uber, Deliveroo, and other ondemand service providers rely on an am
