17.Martin Luther King,Jr.,is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches,among them his moving"I Have a Dream"speech.But few people know much about King's childhood,Martin Luther as he was called was born in 1929,in Atlanta,Georgia,at the home of his maternal grandfather.Martin Luther's grandfather,the Reverend A.D.Williams,purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909,28 years before Martin Luther was born.The Reverend A.D.Williams,an eloquent speaker,played an important role in the community because so many people's lives centered around the church.He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks.Martin Luther grew up in this atmosphere,with his home being used as community gathering place,and was no doubt influenced by it.
Martin Luther's childhood was not especially memorable.His father was a minister and his mother was a musician.He was the second of three children,and he attended all-black schools in a black neighbourhood.The neighbourhood was not poor,however,Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighbourhood that he had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta's black people.It was area of banks,insurance companies,builders,jewelers,tailors,doctors,lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services.Even in the face of Atlanta's segregation (種族隔離),district thrived.Dr.King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child,nor did he forget the racial prejudice(歧視) that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.

So,you have to give a speech─and you are terrified.You get nervous,you forget what you want to say,you stumble (結(jié)結(jié)巴巴) over words,you talk too long,and you bore your audience.Later you think,"Thank Goodness,it's over.I'm just not good at public speaking.I hope I never have to do that again."
Cheer up!(72)A.Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making.Ask yourself the purpose of your speech.What is the occasion?Why are you speaking?Then,gather as many facts as you can on your subject.Spend plenty of your time doing your research.Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow.Use as many examples as possible,and use pictures,charts,and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.(73)F.Don't talk over their heads,and don't talk down to them.Treat your audience with respect.They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember:Be prepared.Know your subject,your audience,and the occasion.Be brief,(74)D.And be yourself.Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps,you will see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking.In fact,you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches!You're not convinced yet?(75)G.
