Mrs. Wettiner was old and blind. But she tried to do everything for herself. She even used to go for walks alone from her home once a day for exercise and fresh air, and found her way by 1 things with her white stick. She learnt where everything was, so she never lost her way. But then one day some men came and 2 some trees at the side of the road which she followed. When she reached that place that evening, she didn't feel the trees with her stick, so she was in 3 .
She stopped for a minute and shouted, but she didn't hear any other people, so she went ahead for a kilometer or two, and then she heard water 4 her.
“Water?” she said aloud, and stopped. “Am I 5 ? I suppose so. I must be on a bridge, and there must be a river under me. I've been told that there's a river in this part of the country. But I don't know its exact position(位置). How am I going back to my home from here?”
Suddenly she heard a young man's friendly voice near her. It said, “Excuse me, can I help you?”
“How kind of you!” Mrs. Wettiner answered 6 . “Yes, please. I'm lost. Some of the trees which I follow when I go for my evening walk were removed today, and if I am not lucky enough to meet you, I don't know what to do. Can you please help me to get home?”
“Certainly,” the man answered. “Where do you live?”
Mrs. Wettiner told him, and they began walking. The man took Mrs. Wettiner to her home, and she 7 him in and gave him some coffee and a piece of cake. She told the man how 8 she was that she had met him.
“Don't thank me,” the young man said. “I want to thank you. I was trying to make up my mind to put myself into the river. But I'm not going to do it now.”

Public speaking is one of the top three fears among adults in both the UK and the US. Here are some suggestions that deal with some of the most common problems people experience with public speaking.
Invite the attention in
Do you hate that moment when you stand up in front of a group to speak and everybody looks at you? 9.
It's a sign that people are interested and want to hear what you have to say. Welcome those looks!
Beat the brain freeze
Have you ever been in the middle of speaking and suddenly…brain freeze! 10. It is possible that you forgot something for the moment. And you are holding your breath! All you need to do is to trust yourself, clear your mind, focus and breathe. The thoughts will come rushing back to your mind in no time. Phew!
Increase your confidence
Use this exercise to get in touch with the “naturally confident(自信的) you” inside. 11. Imagine the feeling of relaxation rushing through your whole body. It will pass information to your brain that you are confident and happy. 12.
Whether you are someone who just wants to move from good to great with your speaking, or someone who feels too afraid to stand up and speak, the great news is that you can move forward, be relaxed, and run into a great speaker. 13.
