practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers. magic words. to work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. these words are called incantations or spells. some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. for example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. the magicians combined words and actions form a ceremony.magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. any such object may be called a fetish(物神). but this term often refers to an objectfor example, a carving or a dried snakehonored by a tribe for its magic powers. many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.the magician. in some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. in other societies, only experts practice magic. magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. in many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. in others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. for example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.41what do magic words mean to people in some society? athey have the power to kill devils.bthey have power if magician recites the right spells.cthey have no effect at all. dthey can be used whenever they want. 42people believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by_.athe spells bmagic objectscstones or rings engraved with magic symbols dmedicine 43why do many people believe in a fetish? abecause it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money. bbecause it is carved with magic symbols. cbecause people think spirits live in it. dbecause it can help them with many things. 44whats the best title of the passage? ahow magic works bthe power of magic chow to practice magic dthe choice of magicians bthere are two kinds of people in the world. those of the first kind are born idlers (游手好闲者), taking interest in nothing. it seems what they live for is to pass time idly. they simply dont know why they have to do so, nor will they bother to ask. the other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life. but only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success. all the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true. why do things so happen to them? what are the reasons? i later find out that some people are determined. they are “igniters” that catch fire of their own, giving light and heart. but thats not the case with others. they may be fuels but not igniters. as pieces of wood or coal, they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat. the majority of people need some igniter to light them. thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed. unless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal. fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet. one may find it in an instructive book, a film story, a few words of a close friend, some advice of a good teacher, a pleasant journey, or an unexpected love. any of these, coming at the right time, can serve as an igniter to start ones enthusiasm for learning or for a better career, to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing, to lend him strength to go ahead bravely. in that case, what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality. such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves. never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.45. according to the text, “_” take things seriously, but may not be able to succeed.a. idlers b. ignitersc. fuelsd. lighters46. according to the writer, what do most people definitely need to succeed? a. storing a lot of energy. b. great interest in everything.c. an igniter coming at the right time.d. wonderful dreams about a bright future.47. the writer writes the article to _.a. describe two kinds of peopleb. encourage people to find chances to succeedc. praise those who work hardd. make fun of idlers c for high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship（实习）in some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to workin the united states，however，such programs are still few and far betweenresearch shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later yearsthe students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education in germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internshipsgerman companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment but in america, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working worldharvard education school professor robert schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college trackschwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable（易受影响的）kids with no jobs and no skills schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high schooljames madison high school in new york，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career-based coursesthe school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school however，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting（使人气馁的）. in the us，unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row “the risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said michael，a researcher in the us48in the authors opinion, american high school leavers_a. have

main idea of the text?a. arguments about recent us education reformb. tips on finding jobs for high school leaversc. the lack of career-based courses in us high schoolsd. advice for american high school leaversdabout this time every year, i get very nostalgic (怀旧的). walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. i was one of those children, carefree and happy. i live on a street that is only one block long. i have lived on the same street for sixteen years. i love my street. one side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. when i think of home, i think of my street. only i see it as it was before. unfortunately things change. one day, not long ago, i looked around and saw how different everything has become. life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. it is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much longer. i have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow（寡妇）next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. in contrast to those people, the people i see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. the man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. the lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. it is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at one time i thought they would live forever. the “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. the boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. we got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. children who rode tricycles now drive cars. the kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the
