en if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn' t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King' s famous speech--"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
　　People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a
　　kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like
　　judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect perform-
　　er. They are looking for a well-though-out speech that expresses the speaker' s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker' s attractiveness by making him more human.
　　As you work on your speech, don' t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

　　A. your attention is focused on the content

　　60. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
　　A. giving a speech is like giving a performance

　　C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
　　D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
