The magician (魔术师) usually depends on his skill with his hands, and on his knowledge of psychology (心理学). Since magic tricks are meant to fool people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movement of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the people to draw false conclusions. The magician’s success depend on the fact that many things seen by the eye do not register (记下) on the mind.

Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear or to disappear. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change color. What actually happens is that the magician, by quick hand movements, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the people and waves a brightly colored cloth with one hand. The people are too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball. 

Another favorite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the people watch something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear again by displaying another object that has not been cut or burned.

1From the passage we know that the magician pretends to do things which     .

A. are possible                 B. are impossible

C. make people laugh               D. we can’t see

A. a bright colored cloth is used

B. it does mot take too long to prepare

  This is ridiculousExpensive cars go faster than cheap carsExpensive clothes hang better than cheap clthesBut these days all watches tell the time as well as all lther watchesExpensive watches come with extra functions-but who needs them?How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole?So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?

  Watches are now classified asinvestments(投资)A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly?350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from?15,000 to?30,000 plus in a yearBut a watch is not an investmentIt’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashionPrices may keep going up-they’ve been rising for 15 yearsBut when of fashionPrices may keep going rp-they’ve been rising for 15 yearsBut when fashion moves on, the owner of that?350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times

  Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum's storytelling to Dad's, researchers said.

  They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.

  More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.

  "The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children's lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.

  Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.

  The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.

  When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do:over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson.

  "It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child's development," said Woolfson.

[  ]
