A major incentive (动力) for college attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. Even if the return of your education isn't as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relatively poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker: you would probably rather be a manager than a managee. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off.
It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgement to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people.
Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in you hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people than you ' re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons.
As a result of formal and informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.
It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because they believe
A.a college education will provide them with a guarantee of success in life
B.the economy of their country can't absorb an army of untrained youngsters
C.a college education will make them better qualified for a career
D.the investment in a college education can bring a higher economic return than before

"What did you learn in that course?" I'd ask.
"Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited(拘谨 )... not to be nervous Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don' t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you' re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.
The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who' ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you' re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it' s necessary until you've reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously "talk on paper.

Advice on Public Speaking Building confidence (信心)
Faith in yourself, your topic and your healthy mind is a must if you are to be a better publicspeaker. Many speakers are not prepared and lose confidence because of that. But others lack confidencebecause they are afraid of being judged--and possibly made fun of--just like they were in high schoolspeech class. Build your confidence by using all your tools and knowing that you are excellent.
Knowing what&39;s up
You have to know your topic inside and out. Nothing kills your speech like "um" and "uh" in every sentence. Research your subject to the point where you are an expert. And that&39;s half the battle.
Practicing
Researching and knowing your topic is one thing, but actually delivering that information isanother. Practicing your speech in advance is a must. You will find your beats and your direction,through hours in front of the mirror practicing. So when you climb up on stage, it will be like riding ahike,unless you don&39;t know how to ride a bike.
Dressing properly
You will want to dress properly for the occasion(场合)--which could be a suit or simply ajacket. Make sure it also has the comfort you need. If the clothes are not comfortable, you may notpay full attention to your speech.
Making connections
Make a personal connection with someone in the audience (听众). It might be someone youknow that you can call out to, or someone in the front row you can speak directly to. Maybe yourspeech leads you to ask them a question, which is an easy way for you to take yourself from the stageand place yourself as one of your audience. It also takes the pressure off. What does "that’s half the battle" mean in the text?
A.You have already won the battle
B.You are getting on the way to final success
C.You need experts to guide you in public speaking
D.You should write sentences without um and uh
