Today I am known for my voice as much as for my acting. It has been my good fortune to receive jobs such as the speaking role of Darth Vader in George Lucas s Star Wars trilogy and the voiceover announcer for CNN cable television. Perhaps my greatest honor came when I was asked to read the New Testament on tape.

But it took a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a youngster I stuttered so badly I was completely unable to speak in public. Since I was eight I d had trouble speaking. It was so bad that whenever I stood up in class to read, the other kids snickered and laughed. I always sat down, my face burning with shame.

I am not sure what caused my stuttering. Perhaps it was an emotional problem. I was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, and when I was five, I moved to live with my grandparents on their farm near Dublin in northern Michigan. It was traumatic moving from the warm, easy ways of catfish co untry to the harsh climate of the north, where people seemed so different.

Fortunately I met Donald Crouch there, a tall, lean man with gray hair. English was his favorite subject and poetry was his deepest love. When he learned that I not only loved poetry but was writing it, we found a kinship. There was, however, one difficulty between us. Professor Crouch (we always called him that) could not stand the fact that I refused to read my poems to the class. With his help, my stuttering disappeared. And encouraged by Professor Crouch, I took exams and won a scholarship to the University of Michigan. Finally, I entered the drama department. About two years later, I learned Donald Crouch had passed on. When I was asked to record the New Testament, I really did it for a tall, lean man with gray hair who had not only helped to guide me to the author of the Scriptures, but as the father of my resurrected voice, had also help

The most critical three minutes in a speech are the first three minutes. They are unique. First, the audience s attention is naturally high because their concentration level decreases as the time elapses. Second, a speaker only has one chance to make a first impression, which is during the first minutes of the speech.

In line with the nature of the first three minutes, there are at least three goals that a speaker should achieve during this period: to grab the audience s attention, to establish his credibility, and to build rapport.

How to grab the audience s attention? Try to open with a line that makes them listen. Many things can be interesting to the audience. A comment on some current local or national events will surely get them interested. Especially effective are current events relating to retail prices, housing, cars, and fashion. Humor and anecdotes have the same effect because laughing gets the audience feeling relaxed and ready to hear your story. However, keep them short and to the point since incomprehensible jokes and jokes that have nothing to do with the topic sometimes offend certain people.

Our next task is to establish credibility. I mean you need to make your audience trust you. It depends on the speaker s depth of knowledge, personal experience, level of preparedness, and appearance. Among them, I want to stress appearance, because there is not much you can do about other factors such as knowledge and experience—they need time to be accumulated—while appearance takes much less time to take care of and sometimes it plays a more significant role than knowledge and experience. When I use the word appearance , I do not simply mean the way you dress; it also includes the way you speak and your gestures when you speak.

Finally, we need to show respect and build rapport during the first three minutes. By showing your respect to them, you will gain further support from them. The most effective way to show respect and build rapport is to meet the audience s expectations. Many of the expectations can only be met by good preparation before the presentation.

[共5题]

(1) The first three minute of a speech are important because __________.

(A) the audience s attention is naturally high

The need for effective public speaking will almost certainly touch you some time in your life. Even if you never give another speech in your life, you still have much to gain from studying public speaking.

There are many similarities between public speaking and daily conversation. The three major goals of public speaking ---- to inform, to persuade, to entertain ---- are also the three major goals of everyday conversation. In conversation, almost without thinking about it, you employ a wide range of skills. You organize your ideas logically. You tailor your message to your audience. You tell a story for maximum impact. You adapt to feedback from your listener. These are among the most important skills you will need for public speaking.

Public speaking is also different from conversation. First, public speaking is more highly structure

2012-2013学年第2学期

d than conversation. It usually imposes strict time limitations on the speaker, and it requires more detailed preparation than does ordinary conversation. Second, public speaking requires more formal language. Listeners react negatively to speeches loaded with slang (俚语), jargon (行话), and bad grammar. Third, public speaking demands different method of delivery. Effective speakers adjust their voices to the larger audience and work at avoiding distracting physical mannerisms and verbal habits.

One of the major concerns of students is stage fright. Actually, most successful speakers are nervous before making a speech. You will take a big step toward overcoming stage fright if you think positively, choose speech topics you really care about, prepare thoroughly, and concentrate on communicating with your audience.

Because of the growing diversity of modern life, many ---- perhaps most ---- of the audiences you address will include people of different cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. When you work on your speeches, be alert to how such factors might affect the responses of your listeners and take steps to adapt your message accordingly. Above all, avoid the ethnocentric belief that your own culture or group ---- whatever it may be ---- is superior to every other culture or group.

Language is a unified system of symbols that permits a sharing of meaning. Language allows minds to meet, merge, and mesh（相和、协调）. When we “make sense” out of people s messages, we learn to understand people.

There is no direct relationship between words and things, as Ogden and Richards s Trangle of Meaning demonstrates. Words don t “mean”; people give meaning to words. A principal barrier to communication is the fact that different people give quite different meanings to the same words. Words change across time, from place to place, and according to individual experience.

Among the communication problems that result from changes in word meaning are (1) bypassing (when people think they understand each other but in fact do not), and (2) mistaking the label for the thing itself (displaying an intentional rather than an extensional orientation).

There are two strategies we can use to improve our oral language abilities. First, we can use common sense to recognize that certain styles of language are appropriate at certain times and certain places. Second, we can seek to make ourselves as clear as possible by selecting words wit h meaning for our listeners, taking account of their educational level and sublanguages they understand.

Keeping each of these guidelines in mind as you interact with others should help to improve your communication skills. If you recognize that every time you communicate with others you run the risk of being misunderstood, then you will be more likely to become sensitive to the ways in which your words affect those with whom you relate. As John Condon, author of Semantics (语义) and Communication, advises, “learning to use language intelligently begins by learning not to be used by language.”
