【连题】The Right Amount of Energy

We all enjoy being around people with energy. They inspire us. They are stimulatin g, fun, and uplifting. An energetic person has passion in his voice, a bounce in his step, and a smile on his face. Energy makes a person likable, and likability is a key ingredient in persuasive communications. Many business professionals underesti mate the energy level required to generate enthusiasm among their listeners. But e lectrifying speakers bring it. They have an energy that is several levels higher than the people they are attempting to influence.

Most business professionals could use an energy boost for public speaking situati ons such as Webinars, podcasts, staff meetings, conference calls, and television an d radio interviews. Each of these opportunities requires a higher level of energy th an would normally be appropriate if you were just chatting to someone in the hallw ay. But how do you project the right level of vigor without seeming over the top? By weighing yourself on an energy scale. And on this scale, more is better.

The Energy Scale

Recently I helped an executive prepare for his first major presentation in his new role.

"Tell me where your energy is right now on a scale of one to ten," I asked. "On e being fast asleep and ten being Jim Cramer on Mad Money. You know, the guy who's yelling and gesturing wildly on his CNBC show. Where are you now?"

"A three," the speaker replied.

"OK, what would it feel like to be a seven, eight or nine? Give it a try," I sugges ted.

If they're being honest, most presenters place themselves at a three to six on th e energy scale. That means there is plenty of room to boost your energy while not appearing too zany. But keep in mind, once you hit a ten or higher, you could be the next YouTube (GOOG) hit--which is not necessarily your top objective! Here a re several surefire strategies to boost your energy presence.

1. Practice leaving your comfort zone.

Record several minutes of your presentation as you would normally deliver it: Pla y it back, preferably with someone else watching and listening as well. Ask yoursel f and the observer, where am I on the energy scale? Now try it again. This time,b reak out of your comfort zone. Ham it up. Raise your voice. Use big gestures. Put

a big smile on your face. Get to a point where you would feel slightly awkward a nd uncomfortable. Now watch it. Most likely your energy level will be far more eng aging and still remain appropriate fur the situation.

2. Smile and have fun.

Why do most people seem to enjoy Virgin entrepreneur Richard Branson? Because the guy has fun and it shows. He always has a warm, engaging smile on his fac e. Of course, you can argue that it's easy to walk around with a smile when you'r e worth $4 billion! But seriously, smile. It won't hurt and it will make you more lika ble. Most business professionals don't smile as much as they should during presen tations. I'm helping some executives prepare for CES, the big Consumer Electronic s Show in January where they will announce new products. They get so caught up in the slides and what they're going to say ( as they should during preparation ), they forget that new products bring joy to their consumers. In most cases--with the exception of bad news, of course--the first and last thing you say to yourself befo re launching into your presentation should be, "Have

3. Get your body moving.

Many people are uncomfortable using expansive hand gestures. Don't be. I spoke to David McNeill at the University of Chicago, who is known for his research into gesture and speech. He says that clear, confident speakers use hand gestures and that the gestures leave a positive impression on listeners.He went on to say that using gestures will help you speak better because for most of us it takes effort not to use gestures.

Don't be afraid of using your hands.

AOL's (TWX) https://www.360docs.net/doc/029256777.html, is one of my favorite video search engines. I use it to re trieve clips of business speakers to study their body language. Symantec's (SYMC) John Thompson, Oracle's (ORCL) Larry Ellison, Cisco's (CSCO) John Chambers, and eBay's (EBAY) Meg Whitman are excellent examples of people with confident, energetic body language.

4. Study TV and radio personalities.

Stars of television and radio who score high on the likability scale have high-ener gy personalities. I had a conversation with Suze Orman over the phone a couple o f years ago and remember it to this day. Her energy comes right through the spea ker. What you see on her CNBC show is what you get behind the scenes. High e

nergy. The other day I watched Food Network (SSP) star Rachael Ray sign books

at a mall where I happened to be shopping. Sometimes critics poke fun at her"pe rky" personality and phrases like "yum-o," but the fact is she has energy and millio ns of viewers enjoy it. The networkmorning-show hosts are typically chosen for thei r energetic personalities. Today's Matt Lauer on NBC (GE) and The EarlyShow's J ulie Chen on CBS (CBS) are excellent examples, but there are many others on m orning television.

Remember, maintaining an energetic presence is very difficult to do unless you're i nvolved with something you enjoy. If you are truly passionate about your company, product, or service, then show it. Speak with energy and vitality. Your listeners wil l love you for it.

连题】 Questions 44~43are based on the following passage.

Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to 47 . You may even have tried a fad diet or two, but found yourself right back where you started. The key to weight loss is regular 48 activity. And surprisingly, you don't have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long=term, 49 effects.

Your body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic 50 such as breathing,

blood circulation and digestion.

The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as the resting or

basal metabolic rate.

Any time you are active, 51 energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather

than on the carbohydrate reserves.

Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and 52 of your activity. The higher the intensity, the more your body will pull from the stored carbohydrates. The lower the intensity, the more your body will 53 on fat as its fuel.

Aerobic exercise is most 54 for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you

55 contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms. Walking, running,

rollerblading, swimming, dancing, and jumping jacks are all forms of aerobic activity.

Surprisingly, if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration, you will burn more fat than if you had 56 in a short burst of high-intensity exercise. In short,

a brisk 30-minute walk will burn fat while a 100-yard sprint will burn glycogen.

Reading Comprehension （Reading in Depth）

【连题】 Questions 54~53 are based on the following passage.The man who inv ented Coca-cola was not a native Atlantan, but on the day of his funeral every dru gstore in town testimonially shut up shop. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Sometimes known as Doctor, Pemb erton was apharmacist (药剂师) who, during the Civil War, led a cavalry troop unde r General Joe Wheelrer.

He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began brewing such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup. In 1885, he registered a t rademark for Something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant, a few months later he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and recruited th e services of a bookkeeper named Frank M.

Robinson, who not only had a good head for figures but, attached to it, so ex ceptional a nose that he could audit the composition of a batch of syrup (糖浆) m erely by sniffling it.

In 1886--a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Coca officials like to point out, Conan Doyle unveiled Sherlock Holmes and France unveiled the Statue of Liberty--Pemberton unveiled a syrup that he called Coca-Coca. It was a modification of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a pinch of caffeine, an d, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some extract of cola nut and a few other oils, blending the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard

and swishing it around with an oar. He distributed it to soda fountains in used bee r bottles, and Robinson, with his glowing bookkeeper's script, presently devised a l abel, on which "Coca-Cola" was written in the fashion that is still employed.

Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a refreshment than as a headache cure, especially for people whose headache could be traced to over-indulgence.

On a morning late in 1886, one such victim of the night before dragged himsel f into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a doolop of Cola-Cola. Druggists customa rily stirred a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but in this instance the ma n on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap, a couple of feet off. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. The sufferi ng customer perked up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coc a-Cola was a fizzy one.

【连题】 Questions 59~58are based on the following passage.Between 1833 an d 1837, the publishers of a "penny press'" proved that a low-priced paper, edited t o interest ordinary people, could win what amounted to a mass circulation for the ti mes and thereby attract an advertising volume that would make it independent. Th ese were papers for the common citizen and were not tied to the interests of the business community, like the mercantile press, or dependent for financial support u pon political party allegiance (~,~,). It did not necessarily follow that all the penny papers would be superior in their handing of the news and opinion functions. But t he door was open for some to make important journalistic advances.

The first offerings of a penny paper tended to be highly sensational; human int erest stories overshadowed important news, and crime and sex stories were written in full detail. But as the penny paper attracted readers from various social and ec onomic brackets, its sensationalism was modified. The ordinary reader came to wa nt a better product, too. A popularized style of writing and presentation of news re mained, but the penny paper became a respectable publication that offered signific ant information and editorial leadership. Once the first of the successful penny pap ers had shown the way, later ventures could enter the competition at the higher le vel of journalistic responsibility the pioneering papers had reached.

This was the pattern of American newspapers in the years following the foundi ng of the New York Sun in 1833. The Sun, published by Benjamin Day, entered th e lists against 11 other dailies. It was tiny in comparison; but it was bright and rea dable,and it preferred human interest features to important but dull political speech reports. It had a police reporter writing squibs(刺性随笔) of crime news in the styl e already proved successful by some other papers. And, most important, it sold for a penny, whereas its competitors sold for six cents. By 1837 the Sun was printing 30,000 copies a day, which was more than the total of all 11 New York daily ne

wspapers combined when the Sun first appeared. In those same four years James Gordon Bennett brought out his New York Herald ( 1835 ), and a trio of New Yor k printers who were imitating Day's success founded the Philadelphia Public Ledger (1836) and the Baltimore Sun ( t837).The four penny sheets all became famed ne wspapers.

Reading involves looking at graphic symbols and formulating mentally the soun ds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 67 over the centu ries. During the 1950s and 1960s especially, increased attention has been devoted to 68 and describing the reading process. 69 specialists agree that reading 70 a complex organization of higher mental 71 , they disagree 72 the exact nature of th e process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 73 reading as simply the decoding of symbols to the sounds they stand 74 . These authorities 75 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that readin g is 76 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 77 the ir meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 78 to some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 79 reads. Many adults, although they hav e the ability to read, have never read a book in its 80 . By some experts they wo uld not be 81 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and material s of reading will depend on the definition one uses. By the most 82 and satis- fact ory definition, reading is the ability to 83 the sound- symbols' code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 84 , at various rates, and at various levels of diffi culty, and to do 85 widely and enthusiastically. 86 short, reading is the interpretatio n of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas.第64题请在（67）处填上最佳答案。
