20、seat in New York, for a televised interview that helped decide the future of her campaign.

21、five minutes. A few weeks after the interview, Kennedy ended her Senate campaign.Filler words may seem natural in everyday speech, but they can be deadly in formal presentations. “Using excessive fillers is the most annoying speech habit,” said Susan Ward, a speech specialist. “They take your listen

They believe their audience will think they are inarticulate (不善于表达) if they pause to think of what to say next, so they use filler words to avoid the silence

23、. However, a pause is actually more impressive than a filler word. Listeners know that the speaker is thinking, trying to find the right word.

40、 now, Muses, who have your homes on Olympus- for you are goddesses, and ever-present, and know all things, and we hear only rumour: nor do we know anythingThese lines reflect a central claim of epic poetrythat through the inspiration of the Muses, daughters of Memory, it can preserve the knowledge o

The Iliad was composed around 750-2 BC, but its origins lie at least some five centuries earlier, deep in the Mycenaean Bronze Age-the world the Iliad poetically evokes.The Iliad is

42、keenly aware of its role as the keeper of memory, and credibility is central to its storytelling.

43、r husband to elope with a Trojan prince. Its cast of characters includes not only warriors and their captives and families, but the immortal Olympian gods, who perform many supernatural acts in the course of their eager participation in the action around Troy.The Iliad has the reputation for being a

44、n exclusively(专门地) male epic, weak on female characters, but to choose only one exampleHomers delicate characterization of Helen as a woman driven by reluctant remorseful(悔恨的) passion is as hauntingly（萦绕心头地）credible as any Anna Karenina.Longinus, a scholar in the 1st Century AD wrote that in recordi

45、ng as he does the wounding of the gods, their quarrels, vengeance, tears, imprisonment and all their passions Homer has done his best to make the men in the Iliad gods and gods men.
