The door. See, how cold it is outside!”

 How Do We Produce Speech?
Speech production is made possible by the specialized movements of our vocal
Organs that generate speech sounds waves. Like all sound production, speech production
requires a source of energy. The source of energy for speech production is the steady
stream of air that comes from the lungs as we exhale. When we breathe normally. The air
stream is inaudible. To become audible, the air stream must vibrate rapidly. The vocal
cords cause the air stream to vibrate.

As we talk, the vocals chord open and close rapidly. Chopping up the steady air stream
Onto a series of puffs, these puffs are heard as a buzz. But this buzz is still not speech.
To produce speech sounds, the vocal tract must change shape. During speech we
continually

Alter the shape of the vocal tract by moving the tongue and lips, etc. these movements
change the acoustic properties of the vocal tract, which in turn produce the different
sound of speech.

4 What does the text tell us about?

A To describe the structure of human’s speech production’s organ
B To amuse the reader related to speech production’s story
C To present the explanation on how a speech is produced
D To inform an actual event happened related to speech production
E To persuade the reader in keeping our speech production’s organ well

5 What will happen if we move our tongue and lips as we speak?

A We will hear buzz sound
B The vocal cord will open and close rapidly
C The lungs will produce a steady stream of air
D It will produce different sounds of speech
E The air stream in the vocal cords will vibrate

The internet is the fastest growing and largest tool for mass communication and
information
Distribution in the world. There has been increasing concern about damaging
internet content from violence and unseemly content, which can gives negative
influence on the culture identity. The government should censor materials on the
internet based on the following reasons.
Firstly, child pornography in the media is never tolerated. They are apparent
victims
of harmful and offensive content in the internet. The internet should be no
exception to these basic standards. Truly offensive material such as pornography
and extreme racial hatred are no different, simply because they are published on
the World Wide Web as opposed to a book or video.
Secondly, people recognize that moving pictures and sound are more graphic and
powerful
The text and photographs or illustrations to influence people’s minds. There is
also normally more regulation of videos from the internet then cinema films. It is
because the viewer of a video is a captive audience with the power to rewind,
view again and distribute more widely.
Lastly, censoring harmful materials in the internet is an international problem.
If a global solution is required then it can be achieved by international
cooperation. Children are particularly vulnerable to the offensive and harmful
content in the internet. The government should soon regulate a rule to protect the
nations from negative influence from the internet.
