7、pencer proved at his sister Princess Dianas funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally.

9、han explaining it.The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural.

14、 this seems like a situation that will bring them out. （很多人都有较强的不安全感，这项活动似乎可以引发人们的不安全感。），根据上下文可知，指示代词this指代本篇主题：公开演讲。所以本题的正确选项是C“公开演讲”。2.推理判断题。题干：以下哪个选项不是作者的观点_。第四段第三句话Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job.像真正的演员那样表演，就像是在念别人的台词而不是你
