Liu, who 26 the 110m hurdles gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, said a pain in his foot stopped him from competing in both the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London games, and forced him 27 the fact that he won’t be able to race at the highest level again.

"Er, er, er......I’m sorry I forget my words."Tom rushed out of the hall with his face red. People afraid of speaking in public are suffering from “Stage Fright”. Stage fright makes a person 36 . In that 37 it can make one’s mind go blank and 38 what one ought to say, or to act. Actors, musicians, dancers, lawyers, even TV show hosts suffered from stage fright at one time or another.
Diana Nichols is an expert in helping people free from stage fright at a medical center in New York City. She helps actors learn to 39 themselves. Miss Nichols says some people have always been 40 to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fright after a terrible experience.
She offers them advice to control the fear. One way is to smile before going onto the stage. Taking two deep breaths also helps. Deep breathing helps you get control of your body.
Miss Nichols asks her 41 to tell themselves that their speech or performance does not have to be 42 . It’s all right to make a mistake. She tells them they should not be too nervous while they are performing. It is important that they should continue to perform while she is helping them. After each performance, they discuss what happened and find out what 43 helped and what did not. As they perform more and more, they will 44 less and less. Miss Nichols says the aim is only to reduce stage fright, not to smooth it away 45 . This is because a little stage fright makes a person more careful, and improves the performance.

四、阅读理解(共 20 题;每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
(A)
Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post- it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.
Post-it Notes were invented 20 years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea came from a frustrating experience while singing. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it without damaging the pages.
Around that time, Fry heard that his workmate, Dr. Spence Silver had created a new adhesive (粘合剂) which was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the top of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.
Later, Fry realized that his new invention can also be used as a great bookmark. He came to this idea when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, the workmate asked Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.
When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.

We all know that sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep itscourse in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry areas of Portugal and Spain, golf is often responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need anything special except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to think about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better choices than traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gym play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
