Here is an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV`s Spring Festival Gala. Liu`s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable (時(shí)髦的)once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.

         As a seasoned (老練的) young 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 (目擊)something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people`s love for magic.

         Liu is known for his interaction(互動(dòng)) with his audiences. He has a special understanding of performing skills.

         “It is actually thinking , rather than one`s performing skills, that is more important to achieve a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more attractive.” Liu said.

         Liu Qian`s success dates 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 Taiwan`s Youth 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 (業(yè)余的) magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a decent (體面的) job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.

         To improve his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for passers-by, policemen and farmers.

         “Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough(難對(duì)付的) crowds.” Liu said.

63.The story is about _________.

how Liu Qian became China`s hottest magician

why people love magic

what magic tricks are

what fashionable magic is

64. People love to watch magic because __________.

they can`t figure out the secret of magic

it arouses their curiosity

they love watching magicians make the impossible happen

it is a centuries-old art

65. Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?

He was interested in magic when he was little

He had won Taiwan`s Youth Magic Contest

He became an amateur magician in his spare time

He couldn`t find a decent job after graduation

66. From the story, we know that________.

B. Liu Qian often invites audiences to be in his magic shows

C. Liu Qian performs on streets in order to increase his fame 

D. Liu Qian does street shows to make money

Open Letter to an Editor

I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently --- one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.

Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(簡(jiǎn)歷) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues(問(wèn)題), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.

So why is he looking for a way out?

He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.

The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.

He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?

So your reporter has set me thinking.

Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists --- everyone --- is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.

1.What does the writer think of the reporter?

A．Optimistic.

B．Imaginative.

C．Ambitious.

D．Proud.

2.What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?

A．Finding the news value of his stories.

B．Giving him financial support.

C．Helping him to find issues.

D．Improving his good ideas.

3.Who probably wrote the letter?

A．An editor.

B．An artist.

C．A reporter.

D．A reader.

4.The letter aims to remind editors that they should ______.

A．keep their best reporters at all costs

B．give more freedom to their reporters

C．be aware of their reporters' professional development

D．a(chǎn)ppreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudes

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011年甘肅省高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)題 題型：閱讀理解

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means —practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.

So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.

1. According to the passage, few people know that _____.

A. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time

B. when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again

C. a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things

D. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak

2.The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ____.

A. it is his own fault                   B. his parents are to blame

C. he is just unlucky                    D. his arms must be weak

3. According to the passage, we learn that all of us can ____.

A. become very strong                     B. become very clever

C. improve our memory by practicing       D. know how to improve our memory
