问题     The first time your boss suggests that you formally present something to your department or a client, your reaction may be panic. But remember that being asked to present is a compliment. Someone believes that you have valuable information to share with the group, and wants to listen to your ideas.
    You need to decide exactly what you will say during the allotted time. Condense your topic into one sentence. What do you want your audience to remember or learn from your talk? This is your "big idea". Remember mat your are dealing with the short attention spans of individuals who tend to have many things on their minds.
    Think of three main points you want to make to support your overall topic. Develop a story to demonstrate each of those concepts. This could be something that happened to you or someone you know, or something you read in a newspaper or magazine.
    We have all heard the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words." Think about how your presentation can be more interesting to watch. Props are a wonderful way to make your talk come alive. You could do something as simple as holding up a toy phone receiver when talking about customer service or putting on a hat to signal a different part of your talk.
    Think of dynamic and unusual way to start your presentation. This might involve telling anecdotes that relate to your topic. Never begin with, "Thank you for inviting me here to talk with you today." You will put your audience to sleep right away. Start off enthusiastically so they will listen with curiosity and interest. After your energetic introduction, identify yourself briefly and thank the audience for taking the time to listen to you.
    Plan your ending, and finish in a memorable way. Your listeners remember best what they hear at the beginning and end of a speech, so conclude with a game in which they can participate, or tell a humorous story and your audience will leave laughing.
    Don’t try to memories your talk or read it word-for-word. It will sound stilted and boring. Instead, practice your dynamic introduction and conclusion until you can deliver them effortlessly. If you do this you’ll feel a burst of confidence that will help you sail through the whole of the speech.
According to the passage, why we’ d better to simplify our sentences during a presentation?
选项 A、Because longer sentences are complex to understand.
B、Because audience are unlikely to concentrate for a long time.
C、Because there is limited time for a presentation.
D、Because we have to share valuable information with audience.
答案B
解析 细节题。题干问，在发言展示中，我们需要简化句子的原因。定位于原文第二段，首先作者建议将主题浓缩成一句话。随后该段最后一句给出原因，“Remember that you are dealing with the short attention spans of individuals who tend tohave many things on their minds．”记住你将要应对每个人短期的注意力集中时间，会有很多事情在听众的脑海里出现。所以，选项B，听众很难集中很长时间的注意力．是原文的近义转述。因此，正确答案是B。
