For ques

4、tions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Deliver a Presentation like Steve JobsWhen Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs kicked off this year's Macworld Conference & Expo, he

5、 once again raised the bar on presentation skills. While most presenters simply convey information, Jobs also inspires. He sells the steak and the sizzle at the same time, as one reader commented a few years ago. I analyzed his latest presentation and extracted the 10 elements that you can combine t

6、o dazzle your own audience. Bear in mind that Jobs has been refining his skills for years. I broke down his 2007 Macworld keynote in a previous column (BusinessWeekaaa, 7/6/07) and in a chapter in my latest book. Still, how he actually arrives at what appear to be effortless presentations bears expa

7、nding on and explaining again. Set the theme."There is something in the air today." With those words, Jobs opened Macworld. By doing so, he set the theme for his presentation (BusinessWeekaaa, 1/15/08) and hinted at the key product announcementthe ultra thin MacBook Air laptop. Every prese

8、ntation needs a theme, but you don't have to deliver it at the start. Last year, Jobs delivered the theme about 20 minutes into his presentation: "Today Apple reinvents the phone." Once you identify your theme, make sure you deliver it several times throughout your presentation. Demons

9、trate enthusiasm.Jobs shows his passion for computer design. During his presentation he used words like "extraordinary," "amazing," and "cool." When demonstrating a new location feature for the iPhone, Jobs said, "It works pretty doggone well." Most speakers h

10、ave room to add some flair to their presentations. Remember, your audience wants to be wowed, not put to sleep. Next time you're crafting or delivering a presentation, think about injecting your own personality into it. If you think a particular feature of your product is "awesome," sa

11、y it. Most speakers get into presentation mode and feel as though they have to strip the talk of any fun. If you are not enthusiastic about your own products or services, how do you expect your audience to be? Provide an outline.Jobs outlined the presentation by saying, "There are four things I

12、 want to talk about today. So let's get started" Jobs followed his outline by verbally opening and closing each of the four sections and making clear transitions in between. For example, after revealing several new iPhone features, he said, "The iPhone is not standing still. We keep ma

13、king it better and better and better. That was the second thing I wanted to talk about today. No. 3 is about iTunes." Make lists and provide your audience with guideposts along the way. Make numbers meaningful.When Jobs announced that Apple had sold 4 million iPhones to date, he didn't simp

14、ly leave the number out of context. Instead, he put it in perspective by adding, "That's 20,000 iPhones every day, on average." Jobs went on to say, "What does that mean to the overall market?" Jobs detailed the breakdown of the U.S smart phone market and Apple's share of

15、 it to demonstrate just how impressive the number actually is. Jobs also pointed out that Apple's market share equals the share of its top three competitors combined. Numbers don't mean much unless they are placed in context. Connect the dots for your listeners.三峡大学试卷 学院 学号 姓名 -密封线- Try for

16、an unforgettable moment.This is the moment in your presentation that everyone will be talking about. Every Steve Jobs presentation builds up to one big scene. In this year's Macworld keynote, it was the announcement of MacBook Air. To demonstrate just how thin it is, Jobs said it would fit in an

17、 envelope. Jobs drew cheers by opening a manila interoffice envelope and holding the laptop for everyone to see. What is the one memorable moment of your presentation? Identify it ahead of time and build up to it. Create visual slides.While most speakers fill their slides with data, text, and charts

18、, Jobs does the opposite. There is very little text on a Steve Jobs slide. Most of the slides simply show one image. For example, his phrase "The first thing I want to talk to you about today" was accompanied by a slide with the numeral 1. That's it. Just the number. When Jobs discusse

19、d a specific product like the iPhone, the audience saw a slide with an image of the product. When text was introduced, it was often revealed as short sentences (three or four words) to the right of the image. Sometimes, there were no images at all on the slide but a sentence that Jobs had delivered

20、such as "There is something in the air." There is a trend in public speaking to paint a picture for audiences by creating more visual graphics. Inspiring presenters are short on bullet points and big on graphics. Give 'em a show.A Jobs presentation has ebbs and flows, themes and transi

21、tions. Since he's giving his audience a show instead of simply delivering information, Jobs includes video clips, demonstrations, and guests he shares the stage with. In his latest keynote, the audience heard from Jim Gianopulos, CEO and chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment, and Paul Otellini, C

22、EO of Intel (INTC). Enhance your presentations by incorporating multimedia, product demonstrations, or giving others the chance to say a few words. Don't sweat the small stuff.Despite your best preparation, something might go wrong as it did during the keynote. Jobs was about to show some photog

23、raphs from a live Web site, and the screen went black while Jobs waited for the image to appear. It never did. Jobs smiled and said, "Well, I guess Flickr isn't serving up the photos today." He then recapped the new features he had just introduced. That's it. It was no big deal. I

24、have seen presenters get flustered over minor glitches. Don't sweat minor mishaps. Have fun. Few will remember a glitch unless you call attention to it. Sell the benefit.While most presenters promote product features, Jobs sells benefits. When introducing iTunes movie rentals, Jobs said, "W

25、e think there is a better way to deliver movie content to our customers." Jobs explained the benefit by saying, "We've never offered a rental model in music because people want to own their music. You listen to your favorite song thousands of times in your life. But most of us watch mo

26、vies once, maybe a few times. And renting is a great way to do it. It's less expensive, doesn't take up space on our hard drive" Your listeners are always asking themselves, "What's in it for me?" Answer the question. Don't make them guess. Clearly state the benefit of

27、 every service, feature, or product. Rehearse, rehearse, and rehearse.Steve Jobs cannot pull off an intricate presentation with video clips, demonstrations, and outside speakers without hours of rehearsal. I have spoken to people within Apple who tell me that Jobs rehearses the entire presentation a

28、loud for many hours. Nothing is taken for granted. You can see he rehearsed the Macworld presentation because his words were often perfectly synchronized with the images and text on the slides. When Jobs was showing examples of the films that are available on the new iTunes movie rental service, one

29、 poster of a particular film appeared at the exact moment he began to talk about it. The entire presentation was coordinated. A Steve Jobs presentation looks effortless because it is well-rehearsed.注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上。1. What is the purpose of the author to write this passage?A) To indicate the importanc

54、.Many English language learners believe that the greatest difficulty with listening comprehension is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that the utterances disappear before they can_36 sort _them out, whereas the words in a written text 37 remain _on the page wh

55、ere the reader can 38 glance back at them or re-examine them 39 thoroughly . This 40 frequently means that students who are learning to listen cannot keep up. They are so busy working the meaning of one part of what they hear that they miss the next part. Or they simply 41 ignore _a whole section be

56、cause they fail to sort it all out quickly enough. Either way, they fail. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a 42 position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said. And, of course, repeats cannot be asked for when listening to the radio or watching television. Choice of 43 vocabulary is in the hands of the speaker, not the listener,44 althogh in some circumsrances it is possible to stop the speaker and ask for clarification. Sometimes, listeners can get the meaning of a wor
