I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9 ! You can imagine how (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that--- with so many eyes
(fix) upon me. I had no
(choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part
(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory, for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began _
I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my
(listen) were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, giving out my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding---I made
! From then on, my fear of talking before a big audience
(appear). Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way
success is our fear. Overcome it, _
we will be able to achieve our goals.

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you a comfortable life they live with a pet. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it
(well).Those tested with their animal friends had the smallest change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.
pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more
(relax) around pets, says Allen,
thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only (raise) your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year
(study) 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Researchers say dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs,
they got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.

I can still hear my teammate’s voice in my mind, “No, do not press the buzzer(蜂鸣器) until you (discuss) the answers with us, okay?”
I still pressed the buzzer anyway,(stick) to my instinct(直觉). My team had no time to waste. Checking the answers would require too much time. Besides, I did
quick answer check myself and it looked just fine.
I was doing was a brave move, of course. If what I was about to say was wrong, the

Snake dishes have become popularrecent years. Snake meat in various flavors (风味) is often seen in restaurant ads. Eating snake seems to be now in vogue(盛行), and if you haven’t eaten snake yet, you
(consider) “out of date”. But I wonder
all the trends are worth following.
Some people may defend themselves _saying that snake meat is nutritious. But these people don’t realize that many parasites(寄生虫)，
do harm to our health, are found inside snakes.
According a survey, about 1000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China and sometimes as
as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in Shenzhen in a single day!
These figures warns us that if no action is taken, number of snakes will drop and make an increase in mice and worms population, which will
in a decrease(减产) of crop output. Who will see such tragedy happen?
So let’s start not to eat snakes any more because “to protect the snake is to protect ”
