It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that   1 less than three minutes.
Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered,  2 you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by  3 these simple tips:
Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to  4 . Avoid technical  5 or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.
Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their  6 of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a  7 picture so they can better understand your words.
Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary  8 in your speech to a minimum amount.
Humor can be an effective way to  9 your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen  10 , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are  11 to.
Your speech will probably either inform or  12 your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.
Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see  13 you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you  14 and feel more comfortable.
Make sure to speak a little louder than  15 conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire  16 , not just the first few rows.
When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to  17 your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.
You can arrange to have helpful visual aids   18 before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and  19 later.
Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to  20 the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.

Romance does not have to fizzle out（失败） in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier   1 .
"Many believe that  2 love is the same as passionate（多情的）love," said lead researcher Bianca P. Acevedo, PhD, then at Stony Brook University (currently at University of California, Santa Barbara). "It isn't. Romantic love has the intensity, engagement and sexual chemistry that passionate love has, minus the obsessive component（过度成分）. Passionate or obsessive love includes  3 of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love  4 drive the shorter relationships but not the longer ones."
These findings  5 in the March issue of Review of General Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association.
Acevedo and co-researcher Arthur Aron, PhD, reviewed 25 studies with 6,070 individuals in short- and long-term relationships to   6 whether romantic love is associated with more satisfaction. To determine this, they  7 the relationships in each of the studies as romantic, passionate (romantic with obsession) or friendship-like love and categorized them as long- or short-term.
The researchers looked at 17 short-term relationship studies, which included 18- to 23-year-old college students who were  8 , dating or married, with the average relationship lasting less than four years. They also  9 at 10 long-term relationship studies including middle-aged couples who were typically married 10 years or more. Two of the  10 ncluded both long- and short-term relationships in which it was possible to distinguish the two samples.
The review found that those who reported greater romantic love were more  11 in both the short- and long-term relationships. Companion-like love was only moderately  12 with satisfaction in both short- and long-term relationships. And those who reported greater passionate love in their relationships were more satisfied in the short term  13 to the long term.
Couples who reported more satisfaction in their relationships also  14 being happier and having higher self-esteem.
Feeling that a partner is "there for you"  15 or a good relationship, Acevedo said, and facilitates（促进） feelings of romantic love. On the other hand, "feelings of insecurity are generally associated with  16 satisfaction, and in some  17 may spark conflict in the relationship. This can manifest（表白） into obsessive love," she said.
This discovery may change people's  18 of what they want in long-term relationships. According to the authors, companionship love, which is what many couples see as the natural  19 of a successful relationship, may be an unnecessary compromise(妥协). "Couples should strive for love with all the trimmings（修剪）," Acevedo said. "And couples who've been together a long time and wish to get back their romantic edge should know it is an attainable（可达到的） goal that, like most good things in life,  20 energy and devotion."

Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the   1   of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.
'What?'  2   one participant. 'Those guys have to be lying.'
There is no reliable  3   of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the  4   spender.
A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the  5   . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than 'survey'), each with a net worth of $25 million or more.
About half the respondents（受调查者） inherited（.继承） their  6   , a quarter  7   it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it  8   . That is roughly in line with other surveys of  9   women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than  10   a salary.
As for  11   , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly  12   they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as  13   and splash（泼洒得使到处是） their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'
Many women also worried about wealth having  14    effects on their children and didn't want to spend lavishly（挥霍） to  15   a bad example.
At the same time, 70% of the women said they 'buy nice things when  16   .' And 93.5% of the women said they were responsible for making  17   on major purchases, which  18   that they do a lot of the big spending.
Of course, for truly major purchases a house in Aspen, Colo., a Gulfstream, a Feadship the couple probably makes the decision  19   .
But what about other  20   ? Do you think men or women do most of the high-end spending?

What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or   1  , your melody music.
An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionary   2  melody? as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.
Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your   3  .
Think of your life as a   4  sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there ------it is    5   to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a   6   , a chart buster' even a Symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.
So where to   7  ? YOU MUST BEGIN WITH YOURSELF. Have the right   8   , enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.
Be really   9  in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people's lives.
10   situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger
and pride. They are all   11  of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.
12   has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too   13   to rid them from your own life.
Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.
Everything you do has an   14  on those around you. The way you move, whether you   15   or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.
Take time to   16    other people. If there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives,   17   them to have a brighter outlook.
Throughout the world most people are striving for   18  .
From the family unit   19  around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace.

Once again, science supports what your grandmother told you: A good night's sleep helps your body fight a cold.

Researchers used frequent telephone  4   to track the sleep  5   of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the course of a few weeks. Then they  6   the subjects to the virus, quarantined them for five days and kept  7   of who got sick.
