TEXT C

My heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. l'm an American born and raised, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren't quite ready to let me in yet.

"Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber," the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, acpanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent "in back" once again.

The officer behind the counter called me up and said, "Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list. We're going to he to check you out with Washington."

"How long will it take?"

"Hard to say ... a few minutes," he said. "We'll call you when we're ready for you."

After an hour, Washington still hadn't decided anything about me. "Isn't this puterized?"

I asked at the counter. "Can't you just look me up?"

Just a few more minutes, they assured me.

After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. "No phones!" he said. "For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information."

"I'm just a university professor," I said. My voice came out in a squeak.

"Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day."

I put my phone away.

My husband and 1 were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, even a flight attendant.

I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: "I'm an American citizen; a novelist; l probably teach English literature to your children." Or would that all be counted against me?

After two hours in detention, I was approached by one of the officers. "You're free to go," he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved, we were still in shock.

Then we leaped to our feet.

"Oh, one more thing." He handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it. "If you weren't happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency."

"Will they respond?" I asked.

"I don't know --- I don't know of anyone who's ever written to them before." Then he added, "By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you trel internationally."

"What can I do to keep it from happening again?"

He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing."

After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I've heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn't stick me in what he called "the ethnic ghetto" --- a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and professional identity -just like the town you're born in and the place where you're raised.

Like my father, I'll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.

B. she had been held for only one hour and a half.

C. there were other families in the waiting room.

D. she couldn't use her own cell phone.

92. We learn from the passage that the author would _____ to prevent similar experience from happening again.

A. write to the agency B. change her name

C. oid treling abroad D. do nothing

93. Her experiences indicate that there still exists _____ in the US.

A. hatred B. discrimination

C. tolerance D. diversity

94. The author sounds in the last paragraph.

A. impatient

B. bitter

C. worried

D. ironic

TEXT D

Public speaking fills most people with dread. Humiliation is the greatest fear; self-exposure and failing to appeal to the audience e a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds.

Most people he plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of falling in the most public of ways.

While extroverts will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better. Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British edian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect.

In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself.

Actual acting, as in performing the ed lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by hing carefully rehearsed, written s to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the audience that the words might not be true.

Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural.

You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that you've been cheated.

Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana's funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A rarely works and it is used to help most speakers.

But, being yourself doesn't work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to municate with an audience.

I remember going to see British psychiatrist R. D. Laing speak in public. He behed like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it.

The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of "flow", as psychologists call it, is very satisfying.

95. Women hate public speaking most mainly because of _____.

A. their upbringing very early on.

B. their inability to appeal to the audience.

C. their sense of greater public pressure.

D. their sense of greater humiliation.

96. "this" in Paragraph Two refers to

A. insecurity.

B. sense of failure.

C. public speaking.

D. pressure.

97. Which of the following is NOT the author's viewpoint?

A. Acting like performers spoils the message in a speech.

B. Perfection of s is necessary in making good impressions.

C. Acting naturally means less dependence on the prepared .

D. There should be a balance between actual acting and acting naturally.

98. What is the author's view on personality?

A. Personality is the key to success in public speaking.

B. Extroverts are better public speakers.

C. Introverts he to learn harder to be good speakers.

D. Factors other than personality ensure better performance.

99. The author implies that while speaking R. D. Laing _____.

A. was both too casual and authentic.

B. was acting like a performer.

C. was keeping a good balance.

D. was aware of his audience.

100. In the last paragraph the author remends that ____.

A. you fet about your nervousness.

B. you feel natural and speak naturally.

C. you may feel nervous, but appear naturally.

D. you may imagine yourself to be natural.
