阅读《零点降生》,完成小题。
                                                                                            零点降生
     (1)我的家乡有一种说法,凡是子夜零点降生的女孩都是十分幸运的,将来一定会出人头地,业有所成;村里就有一个零点出生的女孩,她家境优裕,工作顺利,婚恋幸福,是全村女孩子羡慕的对象,是大家心目中零点降生幸运儿的有力例证。
     (2)我的客观条件和主观条件都不怎么好,所以我从懂事起对自己就没有信心。村里那个幸福女孩更让我相信:生死由命,成败在天。上天既然已经安排好你的命运,你再努力也没有用。我变得对一切都无所谓,在惰性的驱使下,整日无所事事,随波逐流。任凭母亲怎么劝说也不回头。一次,母亲被我气急了,忍不住狠狠责骂了我一顿。我居然满不讲理地顶撞她:“你怎么不把我生到零点?那样我就有福气了,还用你操这么多心!
     (3)母亲怔住了。
     (4)晚上睡觉的时候,母亲坐到我的床边,温柔地掖着我的被角,轻轻地告诉我:“妞妞,其实你也是零点生的。这些年妈一直没有说出来是,是因为你的心太浮,怕别人的好话捧坏了你。不过,你要知道,即使你是零点出生的,也并不是生下来什么都有的。天上掉不下白面馍。咱村的那个女孩要是不学好,现在也不会是这样子。你要是不努力,将来照样没出息。”
     (5)我哭了。我开始后悔自己以前的自暴自弃。那一夜,我没有睡。我在心里暗暗发誓:今后决不吝惜自己的心血与汗水,决不辜负自己零点降生的这份幸运。
      ( 6 ) 8年以后,我考上了大学。我是村里第一个正式大学生——一这时我已经完全相信自己是命运的宠儿了。临走的那一天,恰好是我的20岁生日,母亲给我做了一顿丰盛的午餐,郑重地告诉我:“妞妞,其实你不是零点生的。”
     (7)我吃惊地看着她,好一会儿才明白她在说什么。我早已不在乎零点不零点的事了,可她却还一直放在心上——也许只有母亲才会把这样的事情放在心上。
     (8)“我不过是为了给你鼓鼓劲儿才那样说的。”母亲解释的神态像一个犯了错误的小孩子,愧疚而不安。我的眼前忽然浮现出8年前的那个夜晚,耳边也一字字地响起了母亲当初的话语。我忍不住泪如泉涌。其实愧疚不安的应当是我,不是吗?
     (9)从那一刻起,我彻底觉悟了:如果一个人只听从上天的安排而忽略了自己的力量,是多么愚蠢啊!无论什么时候,一个人都没有理由听天由命。其实每个人的生命中都潜藏着许多好机会,但你只能靠自己的双手去挖掘。天会刮风天会下雨但是永远也不会掉下白面馍,你只能用自己的双手,为自己开掘出一眼源源不绝的幸运之泉。

    Speaking in public is most people's least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves.____

    But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It's just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I'm basically shy (honest!), I've been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent.____ Here are some of the lessons I have learned:

    Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20.____ And if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, there's no way your audience will.____— how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close.

    When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.____ A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.

    The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn't go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?

A. Some people are born to be good at making speeches.

B. Anybody who can talk can speak in public.

C. Try to relax yourself before making the speech.

D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.

E. If you can't express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough.

F. When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there.

G. No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to get your ducks in a row.
