26、When Sangs, CT’s beloved Features Editor messaged me about participating in Pitch Imperfect, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. However, I was easily persuaded by her, so I immediately signed up. What I was not expecting was to be immediately thrown into one of the greatest displays of UR culture and community, and to win one of the “ !!! good prizes!!! ” .
Pitch Imperfect is one of the smartest things I’ve ever seen designed for the UR student body by a University-run organization. Here’s the rule: get a bunch of people to sign up to present slides (幻灯片) that they won’t see until they present. There are 30 seconds per slide, and the clock starts once you start your spiel (游说). Three staff members serve as judges, and everyone else in the audience gets a cowbell to ring when a presenter says something they like.
The rest — what you pay attention to on the slides, how you interact with the audience and judges, and how you say what you say — is all up to you. The slides are humorous by nature — one presentation started with a slide saying “ Chicken, ” leading the audience to immediately shout — so the goal for most participants ended up making the audience laugh as much as possible, myself included.
So, what makes this event so smart? For students heading into job and interviews, this is a fun and safe way to get comfortable with public speaking and on-the-fly thinking. Not everyone is gifted with a sense of timing and conciseness (简洁), and often those are the skills that are hardest to train without practice. Thus, by offering this event, iZone helps give people the opportunity to try out public speaking in a silly space.
If you’re given the opportunity to go to Pitch Imperfect the next time it’s hosted, I would highly recommend it. Go with some friends, ring some bells, and get out of your comfort zone.
【1】After the author signed up for Pitch Imperfect, he ______
A．was aware of what to expect.
B．knew that he would be thrown into displays of UR culture and community.
C．believed that he would win one of the good prize.
D．didn’t know what would happen.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The preparations of the event.
B．The introduction and the rules of the event.
C．The features of the event.
D．The goal of the event.
【3】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To introduce Pitch Imperfect.
B．To share the writer’s unique experience.
C．To praise the good work carried out by Pitch Imperfect.
D．To encourage more students to take part in the event.
27、When I was about 12, I had an enemy(敌人），a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like ? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.
【1】What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?
A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said.
B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
【2】What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
【3】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B. My Father
C. The Best Advice I've Ever Had
D. My Childhood
