M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drugstore for ten minutes, it's usually to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time they may be just looking.
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'd like to buy something, and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have, especially when I thought I would get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly. But if you run into buying something specific and have very little time. You pick it up, pay for it immediately and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time and you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores, though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy, and buy it be cause you have time to look around.

听力原文: Mrs. Brown was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast and boasted of the fact that she had never, in her thirty-five years of' driving, been punished for a driving offence.
Then one day she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping.
When Mrs. Brown came before the judge, he looked at her severely and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.
When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs. Brown opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt.
When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, "Now it is your turn. I suppose you drive a car, trod that you have no doubt about your own eyesight."
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it.. After half a dozen attempts, he had still not succeeded. The case against Mrs. Brown was dismissed and her record remained unbroken.

When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed date, determined what is appropriate to the listeners' understanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other support for your ideas, and made them interesting to your listeners. Develop a great opening that you know will catch that attention of even day dreamers in your audience. Check out the room you will be speaking in. Request any feasible changes which you wish in the set-up of the room. If you are prepared, you are confident you can best convey your message to your listeners. If you have waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse, yet, the day before, no doubt you will be anxious, and with good reasons. Now there is out enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt; both you and your audience will feel uncomfortable. Like retirement planning, it is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So start preparing right away.
What is the most important thing in public speaking?
A.Confidence.
B.Preparation.
C.Informativeness.
D.Organization.
