2、Campus2Part Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)The Right Amount of EnergyWe all enjoy being around people with energy. They inspire us. They are stimulating, fun and uplifting. And energetic person has passion in his voice, a bounce in his step, and a smile on his face. Energy
3、makes a person likable, and likeability is a key ingredient in persuasive communications. Many business professionals underestimate the energy level required to generate enthusiasm among their listeners. But electrifying speakers bring it. They have an energy that is several levels higher than the p
4、eople they are attempting to influence.Most business professionals could use an energy boost for public speaking situations such as Webinars, podcasts, staff meetings, conference calls, and television and radio interviews. Each of these opportunities requires a higher level of energy than would norm
5、ally be appropriate if you were just chatting to someone in the hallway. 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 ScaleRecently I helped an executive prepare for his first majo
6、r presentation in his new role.“Tell me where your energy is right now on a scale of one to ten,“ I asked. “One being fast asleep and ten being Jim Cramer on Mad Money. You know, the guy whos yelling and gesturing wildly on his CNBC show. Where are you now?”“A three,“ the speaker replied.“OK, what w
7、ould it feel like to be a seven, eight or nine? Give it a try,“ I suggested.If theyre being honest, most presenters place themselves at a three to six on the 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 hi
8、gher, you could be the next YouTube (GOOG) hit-which is not necessarily your top objective! Here are several surefire strategies in boosting your energy presence.1. Practice leaving your comfort zone.Record several minutes of your presentation as you would normally deliver it. Play it back, preferab
9、ly with someone else watching and listening as well. Ask yourself and the observer, where am I on the energy scale? Now try it again. This time, break 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 a
10、wkward and uncomfortable. Now watch it. Most likely your energy level will be far more engaging and still remain appropriate for the situation.2. Smile and have fun.Why do most people seem to enjoy Virgin entrepreneur Richard Brauson? Because the guy has fun and it shows. He always has a warm, engag
11、ing smile on his face. Of course, you can argue that its easy to walk around with a smile when youre worth $4 billion! But seriously, smile. It wont hurt and it will make you more likable. Most business professionals dont smile as much as they should during presentations. Im helping some executives
12、prepare for CES, the big Consumer Electronics Show in January where they will announce new products. They get so caught up in the slides and what theyre 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
13、 bad news, of course - the first and last thing you say to yourself before launching into your presentation should be, “Have fun.“3. Get your body movingMany people are uncomfortable using expansive hand gestures. Dont be. I spoke to David McNeill at the University of Chicago, who is known for his r
14、esearch 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 3use gestures.Dont be afraid of usin
15、g your hands.AOLs (TWX) T is one of my favorite video search engines. I use it to retrieve clips of business speakers to study their body language. Symantecs ( SYMC ) John Thompson, Oracles ( ORCL ) Larry Ellison. Ciscos ( CSCO ) John Chambers, and eBays ( EBAY ) Meg Whitman are excellent examples o
16、f people with confident, energetic body language.4. Study TV and radio personalitiesStars of television and radio who score high on the likeability scale have high-energy personalities. I had a conversation with Suze Orman over the phone a couple of years ago and remember it to this day. Her energy
17、comes right through the speaker. What you see on her CNBC show is what you get behind the scenes. High energy. 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 “perky“ personality and phrases like “y
18、mn-o,“ but the fact is she has energy and millions of viewers enjoy it. The network morning-show hosts are typically chosen for their energetic personalities. Todays Matt Lauer on NBC ( GE ) and The Early Shows Julie Chen on CBS ( CBS ) are excellent examples, but there are many others on morning te

44、ed on the following passage.What is science fiction? To begin with, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary sub-class which requires a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follow the implications of these changes to a conclusion. Although th
45、is definition will necessarily be modified, and expanded, and probably changed, in the course of this exploration, it conveys much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure.The first pointthat science fiction is a literary sub-classis a very important one, but one which is often over
46、looked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction. Specially, science fiction is a sub-class of prose fiction, for nearly every piece of science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, with Karel Capeks RUR (Rossums Univer
