听力原文： In public speaking, the watch word is preparation. Most of us tend to put things off, at least occasionally. It's so easy to put things off especially those things we do not look forward to doing. So if the speaking engagement is several weeks off, we may feel that we still have plenty of time. But as the day draws closer, we begin to panic. Don't let this happen to you. Start preparing as soon as you're given or accept the speaking assignment. You have much to do and to do it right will take time. How much better your speech will be and how much better you'll feel if you have taken the time to do it right! When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed data, determined what is appropriate to the listener's understanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other supports for your ideas and made them interesting to your listeners, developed a great opening that you know will capture the attention of even the daydreamers in your audience checked out the room where you'll be speaking and requested any feasible changes you wish in the set-up of the room If you are prepared, you are confident that you can best convey your message to your listeners. If you waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse, yet, the day before, no doubt you'll be anxious and with good reason. And now there is not enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt. Both you and the audience will feel uncomfortable, like retirement planning. It is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So, start preparing right away.

e interview will most likely run smoothly and you will present yourself confidently.

As soon as you are invited to attend an interview—or, better still, before you are called—start researching facts about the company. Probably, you will have done some re search before sending your letter of application. Now you need to identify additional information, such as the number of persons the company employs, specific fields in which it is involved, work for which it is particularly well known, its major products and services, places of branch offices, and the company's involvement in community activities.

You also need to prepare for different questions an interviewer may ask to test your readiness for the interview and the sincerity(诚意)of your application. You may be asked:

-Why do you want to join our organization？

-How do you think you can contribute to our company？

-Why do you want to leave your present employer？

-What salary do you expect？

If you have not prepared for such questions, and so hesitate before answering, an inter viewer may interpret your hesitation to mean you find a question difficult to answer or there are things you would rather hide. In either case, you may provide an entirely misleading impression of yourself.

one in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.

“What did you learn in that course？” I’d ask.

“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited(拘谨 )... not to be nervous

Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.

The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.

Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper

to the Australian household as a BBQ(吃烧烤的野餐). How else would.we move our carefully prepared food and drink around without having it spoilt.Though it is a regular problem with Esky, you also need to plan. If you haven t had a freeze pack, then you 11 need to go out and buy a bag of ice (maybe even several bags of ice). Get a Portable Mini Fridge and you 11 save on the bags of ice as well as a good deal on cleaning time. The Portable Mini Fridge requires a 12V DC supply, and you 11 find this thermo electric cooler the best thing invented since sliced bread (near enough anyway). One thing this car fridge has over your average Esky--itll warm to 60--65℃... and it does all this with-out any environmental pollution. Apart from basic cleaning, this thermo electric warmer is largely non-wearing and maintenance-free. At last, an affordable mini fridge for your car or boat will help save those green vegetables or fruits better, also it will keep the shape of an ice cream, this may help you feel very happy. What is Esky from the context？

A.a kind of food.

B.a case to preserve cold drinks or food.
