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 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 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 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 copper field.yet，liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. he studied japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（业余的）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. how liu qian became chinas hottest magician b. why people love magicc. what magic tricks are d. how fashionable magic is22. people love to watch magic because _.a. they cant figure out the secret of magicb. it arouses their curiosityc. they love watching magicians make the impossible happend. 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 became an amateur magician in his spare time.d. he couldnt find an acceptable job after graduation.bit is often said that politeness costs nothing. in fact，it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses 5 billion every year.frequently hearing the phrase “thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise，researchers say.praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs，saving on the cost of finding replacements.a third of 1,000 workers surveyed by consulting firm white water strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well and a further third said they were not thanked enough.in both cases，staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.the net result is around 5.2 billion in lost productivity from employees who would raise their game if they felt more appreciated，white water claimed. according to the company，praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 percent pay-rise and works out much cheaper for bosses.three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.the survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.in regional terms，scottish staff felt most undervalued. four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. however，workers in the north-east are less impressed by being buttered up by the boss，as only 69 percent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist averil leimon，a director of white water strategies. she said that words of praise did more than create a pleasant place to workthey could even boost profits.24. the first paragraph means that _.a. employees ask for high pay instead of hearing “thank you” or “well done”b. bosses always think highly of their employees workc. politeness is important to bosses and workersd. bosses should praise their workers from time to time 25. why didnt bosses give their staff enough praise and encouragement?a. most bosses feel it unnecessary.b. most workers didnt work hard enough.c. this was not what the staff want.d. the passage doesnt mention it. 26. according to this passage，the majority of staff felt _.a. they were thanked enough b. they were undervaluedc. they got satisfactory pay d. they didnt need encouragement 27. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. blue-collar and manual workers need more regular acknowledgement by their bosses.b. a third of the workers surveyed by white water strategies never got thanked at all when they did well.c. old employees and women do not need to be appreciated as much as the young.d. fewer than 30% of scottish felt that they never got thanked.cwhat should you think about when trying to find your career? you are probably better at some school subjects than others. these may show strengths that you can use in your work. a boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. a girl who spells well and likes english may be good at office work. so it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. on the other hand，you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value. a knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. this is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work. you may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. if you have had a part-time job on saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it. if nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. you may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example. just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. you may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. it is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background. you should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.28. what is the passage mainly about?a. the significance of working hard at school.b. the direct and indirect value of school work.c. how to face ones weakness.d. choosing a career according to ones strong points.29. according to the passage，doing a part-time job as a student _.a. can help afford ones educationb. is a good way to practice the skills learnt in schoolc. can help you to prepare for future workd. is a waste of time that could have been spent on study30. from the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good，he _.a. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesb. will be regretful about his bad resultsc. may also do well in his future workd. should restart his study in school31. the underlined phrase “be all thumbs” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”.a. be clumsy at doing things b. be skillful in doing thingsc. do not have interest in certain things d. be easily bored in doing thingsd you can live longer and feel wonderful by following the top 10 secrets to longevity (长寿) revealed by dr franklin williams，former director of the national institute on aging and professor emeritus at the university of rochester，new york one of americas leading experts. 1. exercisestudies show that 30 minutes of mild exercise a day will increase your life span (周期). this doesnt mean you

shrinking. scientists have proposed different theories to explain what is known as colony collapse disorder.new research suggests that a commonly used insect killer could cause bees to have a hard
