三、文意選填:每題2分,共10分(請忽略字首大小寫)Actually, most people tend to be anxious before doing something important in public. Actors and actresses are nervous before a play, politicians are nervous before a campaign speech, and athletes are nervous before a big game. The ones who succeed have learned to use their nervousness to their 36 . Listen to tennis star Pete Sampras, speaking after his 1999 Wimbledon title match against Andre Agassi. “I was nervous today,” he admitted. “You don’t want to get to this point and come up short, losing the game.” Putting his 37 to good use, Sampras made sure he didn’t come up short, beating Agassi in straight sets to claim his sixth Wimbledon championship.Much the same thing happens in speechmaking. 38 show that 76 percent of experienced speakers have stage fright before taking the floor. But their nervousness is a healthy sign that they are getting “psyched up” for a good effort. Novelist and lecturer I. A. R. Wylie explains, “Now after many years of practice I am, I suppose, really a ‘practiced speaker.’ But I rarely rise to my feet without a throat constricted with terror and a furiously thumping heart. When, for some reason, I am cool and self-assured, the speech is always a failure.”In other words, it is perfectly normal—even 39 —to be nervous at the start of a speech. Your body is responding as it would to any 40 situation—by producing extra adrenaline. This sudden shot of adrenaline is what makes your heart race, your hands shake, your knees knock, and your skin perspire. Every public speaker experiences all these reactions to some extent. The question is: How can you control your nervousness and make it work for you rather than against you?
(A)advantage
(B) surveys
(C) butterflies
(D)stressful
(E)desirable
