練習(xí)九 簡(jiǎn)短問(wèn)題回答 Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.) Learning when and how to pause is a major challenge for most beginning speakers. Even a moment of silence can feel like an eternity. As you gain mire poise and confidence, however, you will discover how useful the pause can be. It can signal the end of a thought unit, give and ideal time to sink in, and lend dramatic impact to a statement. "The right word may be effective," said Mark Twain, "but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause." As Twain knew, the crucial factor is timing. " For one audience," he continued, "the pause will be short, for another a little longer, for another a shade longer still." Looking back on his own career as a speaker, he recalled: "When the pause was right the effect was sure; when the pause was wrong-the laughter was only mild, never a crash." Developing a keen sense of timing is partly a matter of common sense, partly a matter of experience. You will not always get your pause just right at first, but keep trying. Listen to accomplished speakers to see how they use pauses to modulate the rate and rhythm of their messages. Work on pauses when you practice on your speeches. When you do pause, make sure you pause at he end of thought units and not in the middle. Otherwise, you may distract listeners from your ideas. Most important, do not fill the silence with "uh", "er", or "um". These vocalized pauses, as they are called, are always annoying, and they can be devastating. Not only do they create negative perceptions about a speaker's intelligence, but they often make a speaker appear deceptive.
