Read the following passage and anwer the questions given below.
The very thought of speaking in public makes some people nervous.
This in not necessarly a bad thing. When nervousness gets out of control –
with adrenalin pumping madly in the body- it can paralyse a speaker, When
controlled, on the other hand, it can lift a speaker performance.

may feel tight., Your heart may beat faster, and (to you), louder, and
you may have difficulty in drawing breath.
The symptoms can be alarming. But remember this stage
fright is common, and can be helprul. Harold Mac Millan, who in his
later years was able to hold the House of commons spellbound, once
confessed that before making major speeches, he was so nervous that
he felt physically sick .The adrenalin that made him fell so ill
beforehand did nothing but good when it was channelled into the
delivery of his actual speech.
