The magician, Liu Qian, discovered it in front of an audience of millions at CCTVs Spring Festival Gala. Lius magic tricks have made the centuries old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China. As a seasoned magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK. Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of peoples love for magic. Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship(演出技巧)。“Its actually thinking rather than ones manipulation (处理) skills that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more interesting,” Liu said. Liu Qians success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwans Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield. Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career. To refine his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for passersby, policemen and farmers.“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,” Liu said.21. The story is about _.A. why people love magicB. how Liu Qian became Chinas hottest magicianC. how fashionable magic isD. what magic tricks are22. People love to watch magic because _.A. they love watching magicians make the impossible happenB. it arouses their curiosityC. they cant figure out the secret of magicD. it is a centuries old art23. Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?A. He was interested in magic when he was little.B. He had won Taiwans Youth Magic Contest.C. He couldnt find an acceptable job after graduation.D. He became an amateur magician in his spare time.24. What does the underlined word “seasoned” in Paragraph2 mean?A. experiencedB. freshmanC. amateurD. unskillful25. From the story we know that_.A. Liu Qian competed in many magic competitions.B. Liu Qian often invites audiences to be in his magic show.C. Liu Qian does street show to make money.D. Liu Qian performs on the streets in order to increase his fame. BCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog and dogs can learn how to talk Cat. Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.26. Some cats and dogs may fight when _. A. they misunderstood each others signals B. they look away from each other C. they are cold to each other D. they are introduced at an early age27. What is found surprising about cats and dogs? A. They eat and sleep each other. B. They learn to speak each others language. C. They observe each others behaviors. D. They know something from each others voices.28. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _. A. have common interests B. have a common body language C. are less different than was thought D. are less intelligent than was expected29. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? A. We should live in peace with animals. B. We should know more about animals. C. We should learn to live in harmony. D. We should learn more body languages. C Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.Thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance（遗传） plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.30. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because _.A. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own countryB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would allow them access to a better life in the West31. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?A. extensive knowledge of music. B. a natural gift.C. very early training. D. a prejudice-free society.32. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. The Making of Music Prodigies B. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and Society D. Jewish Contribution to MusicDWanted, Someone for a Kiss Were looking for producers to join us in the second of London 100FM. Youll work on the stations music programmes.
