What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?

Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "phenomenal" in Paragraph 4?

Why is it important for the speaker to make eye contact?

Passage 2For inexperienced speakers, the physical act of being onstage can be the most difficult part of giving a presentation—but people tend to overestimate its importance. Getting the words, story, and substance right is a much bigger determinant of success or failure than how you stand or whether you're visibly nervous. And when it comes to stage presence, a little coaching can go a long way.The biggest mistake we see in early rehearsals is that people move their bodies too much. They sway from side to side, or shift their weight from one leg to the other. People do this naturally when they're nervous, but it's distracting and makes the speaker seem weak. Simply getting a person to keep his or her lower body motionless can dramatically improve stage presence. There are some people who are able to walk around a stage during a presentation, and that's fine if it comes naturally. But the vast majority are better off standing still and relying on hand gestures for emphasis.Perhaps the most important physical act onstage is making eye contact. Find five or six friendly-looking people in different parts of the audience and look them in the eye as you speak. Think of them as friends you haven't seen in a year，whom you're bringing up to date on your work. That eye contact is incredibly powerful, and it will do more than anything else to help your talk land. Even if you don't have time to prepare fully and have to read from a script, looking up and making eye contact will make a huge difference.Another big hurdle for inexperienced speakers is nervousness—both in advance of the talk and while they're onstage. People deal with this in different ways. Many speakers stay in the audience until the moment they go onstage; this can work well, because keeping your mind engaged in the earlier speakers can distract you and limit nervousness. Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School professor who studies how certain body poses can affect power, utilized one of the more unusual preparation techniques I've seen. She recommends that people spend time before a talk striding around, standing tall, and extending their bodies; these poses make you feel more powerful. It's what she did before going onstage, and she delivered a phenomenal talk. But I think the single best advice is simply to breathe deeply before you go onstage. It works.In general, people worry too much about nervousness. Nerves are not a disaster The audience expects you to be nervous. It's a natural body response that can actually improve your performance; It gives you energy to perform and keeps your mind sharp. Just keep breathing, and you'll be fine.Acknowledging nervousness can also create engagement. Showing your vulnerability, whether through nerves or tone of voice, is one of the most powerful ways to win over an audience, provided it is authentic. Susan Cain, who wrote a book about introverts (内向的人) and spoke at our 2012 conference, was terrified about giving her talk. You could feel her fragility onstage, and it created this dynamic where the audience was rooting for her——everybody wanted to hug her afterward. The fact that we knew she was fighting to keep herself up there made it beautiful, and it was the most popular talk that year.46.What may be indicated by many body movements onstage?

Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase "in the same strain" in Paragraph 3?

What was the reason Mrs. Rymer gave for their unpaid rent the first time?

Passage 1"I must be firm," Miss Shepperson told herself, as she poured out her morning tea with unsteady hand. "I must really be very firm with them."Firmness was not the most distinct characteristic of Miss Shepperson's features, A plain woman of something more than thirty, she had gentle eyes and lips ever ready for a sympathetic smile. She was the daughter of a Hammersmith draper (布商)，at whose death, a few years ago, she had become possessed of a small house and an income of forty pounds a year. The house had, until recently, given her no trouble at all. It stood in a quiet part of Hammersmith, and had long been occupied by good tenants, who paid rent (fifty pounds) with punctuality. Repairs, of course, would now and then called for, and to that end Miss Shepperson carefully put aside a few pounds every year. Unhappily, the old tenants were at length obliged to move out. The house stood empty for two months. It was then taken on a three years' lease by a family named Rymer. "Really nice people," said Miss Shepperson to herself with satisfaction after her first interview with them. Mr. Rymer was "in the City." Mrs. Rymer, mother of two little girls, lived only for domestic peace, forgetting all worldly ambition in the happy discharge of her wifely and parental duties.The first quarter's rent was duly paid, but the second quarter-day brought no cheque; and, after the lapse of a fortnight，Miss Shepperson wrote to make known her naive fear that Mr Rymer's letter might have miscarried. At once there came the politest and friendliest reply. Mr. Rymer (wrote his wife) was out of town，and had been so overwhelmed with business that the matter of the rent must have altogether escaped his mind. He would be back in a day or two, and the cheque should be sent at the earliest possible moment; a thousand apologies for this unpardonable neglect. Still the cheque did not come; another quarter-day arrived, and again no rent was paid. It was now a month after Christmas, and Miss Shepperson, for the first time in her life, found her accounts in serious disorder. This morning she had a letter from Mrs. Rymer, the latest of a dozen or so, all in the same strain."I really feel quite ashamed to take up the pen," wrote the graceful lady, in her delicate hand. "What must you think of us! I assure you that never, never before did I find myself in such a situation. Indeed, I should not have the courage to write at all, but that the end of our troubles is already in view. It is absolutely certain that, in a months time, Mr. Rymer will be able to send you a cheque in complete settlement of his debt. Meanwhile, I beg you to believe, dear Miss Shepperson, how very, very grateful I am to you for your most kind tolerance," The letter was closed with the touching subscription, "ever yours, sincerely and gratefully, Adelaide Rymer."But Miss Shepperson's faith in the Rymers' promises was exhausted. This very morning she would go to see Mrs. Rymer, lay before her the plain facts of the case, and with all firmness——with unmistakable resolve——make known to her that, if the overdue debt were not paid within a month, notice to quit would be given, and the recovery of the debt be sought by legal process. Fear had made Miss Shepperson furious; it was wrong and cowardly for people such as the Rymers to behave in this way to a poor woman who had only just enough to live upon. She felt sure that they could pay if they liked; but because she had shown herself soft and patient, they took advantage of her. She would be firm, very firm. 41. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

Gradually Rudolf drew forth the sparse data of the old man's life.
