You may feel foolish using paper to write notes, but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If you feel the need to see a
21、doctor, perhaps getting some advice from a professional singer can be a better choice. In the meantime, do not even talk in a low voice.What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat? I advise you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little con
22、fidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence.

Goethe, who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools, said, “We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter.” Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits.

To remind people of the techniques to develop a lifelong habits.COne of the commonarguments of homeschooling oppo
28、nentsis that homeschooled kids arent prepared for life in the real world. The idea is that homeschoolers are sheltered with limited interaction outside of their immediate family. However, contrary to the imagined picture of homeschooled kids crowded around the dining room table for hours on end with
29、 only their brothers and sisters for companionship, homeschooled kids tend to be communicating with a variety of people in a wide range of ages. Most homeschooled children regularly accompany their parents on outings and errands, providing them the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of settings.
30、They learn to graciously answer the elderly gentlemen why they arent in school today or the nosy cashier who wants to quiz them on their maths levels.And it is quite common for homeschooled kids to be part of cooperation, to take classes outside the home with other homeschooled kids, or to participa
31、te in sports, providing them with plenty ofoccasions to interact with childrenand adults outside their immediate family.Parents of children are responsible for guiding their children while homeschool parents are in a position to do so on a much more regular basis. Many people consider this shelterin
32、g, but actually it falls more under the heading of mentoring.Because they are being mentored by adults, rather than same-aged peers, homeschooled kids often have the opportunity to learn better coping and interpersonal skills at an earlier age. But being able to guide our children doesnt mean taking
33、 them as our appendage commanding them about. It doesnt mean covering up for them or jumping in to fight their battles. It does mean that we must offer them a more mature horizon on developing skills to deal with difficult situations than their same age peers might offer.Many traditionally-schooled
34、teens graduate with the expectation ofentering college to pursue their future career without having much time toexplore their passions. While the high school years do offer many opportunities for teens in a traditional school setting, homeschooling often provides more time and opportunity to delve i
35、nto areas of interest more fully. This is due to the fact that a homeschooled teens education can be highly tailored to their skills and interests.In essence, coupling a well-designed education with the time management skills that homeschooling can provide often results in teens more prepared and be
36、tter equipped for real world experiencesthan public perception may expect.28. Homeschooled kids have enough interpersonal experience by _.A. learning communicating abilities from their brothers and sisters.B. maintaining close relationship with their parents at homeC. dealing with embarrassing quest
37、ions raised by people of various backgroundsD. establishing close link with former classmates from different schools.29. What should parents do while guiding homeschooled kids?A.

40、ons you may ask about homeschooling.D. Homeschooling: a well-working form of educationDThe medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art
41、out of the galleries and into public places, some of the countrys most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemp
42、orary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should
43、 be enjoyed by a wider audience.A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believe
44、d to be Britains first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.The quali
45、ty of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness.
