答案解析

【定位】题干已指明是最后一段。
【解析】最后一段指出“演讲时的最佳心理状态是保持一种从容不迫的紧张，其潜在的含义是“内紧外松”，既要重视发言这件事，有点紧张感．又要保持克制，显得放松因此选C。
【点睛】理解的关键是an unselfconscious self-conscious—ness。self-consciousness意思是“忸怩，害羞”，unself-conscious意思是“不矫揉造作的，自然的”。这里的矛盾修辞格用得极为巧妙。下文还有illusion of being natural，也表明了某种矛盾：外表自然，但仅是假象。本题仅仅从否定前缀un一中都可以判断出正确答案。

3 根据下列文字，回答题。The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, on my way to work these mornings. They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.
These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a" few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be in "self care".
Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of　sehool-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.
The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses.
It means that, in the summer, they hang out.
"We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and the realities of family life," says Dr. Ernest　Boyer, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitble, "School,whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been."
His is not a popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems.
Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives?
It may be easier to promote a longer school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case　is compelling. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids' lack of learning, the United States still has a　shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. In Japan, it is　240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn't produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more　learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.
The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences　for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important
part of the conflict has been over money.Which of the following is an opinion of the author's?

A．"The kids are hanging ou"

B．"They are school children without schoo"

C．"These kids are not old enough for job"

D．"The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ag"
