I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I’d read The Lord of the Rings and ventured into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells—nine being that curious age at which you’re old enough to work through more than 1,200 pages of fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique, and I dedicated the next months to practice.

At first the magic wasn’t any good. At first it wasn’t even magic; it was just a trick—a bad trick. I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet from the hardware store and placed it under the mirror to muffle the sound of the coin falling again and again.

I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practice—slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed. One day I tried the illusion in the mirror and the coin vanished. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle.

One of the lessons you learn very early on as a magician is that the most amazing part of a trick has nothing to do with the secret. The secret is simple and often dull: a hidden piece of tape, a small mirror, a duplicate playing card, diversion of the audience’s attention. In this case, the secret was a series of covert ( 暗 中 的 ) technique to hide the coin behind my hand in the act of opening it, a dance of the fingers that I learned so completely I didn’t even have to think. I would close my hand, then open it, and the coin would vanish not by skill but by real magic.

4. What book did the author intend to find in the library when he was nine years old?

A. A book teaching people how to make a coin disappear.

B. The second book of The Lord of the Rings.

C. A book on how to become a magician.

D. A book of real magic.

5. The underlined word “muffle” probably means ______.

A. clean B. punish

C. lower D. kill

6. What did the author learn from his dad playing the piano?

A. Without music, life is of no value. B. Practice makes perfect.

C. Great liars are also great magicians. D. No pains, no gains.

7. Which of the following is not mentioned as a magician trick?

A. Carrying out skillful hand moves.

B. Using real magic to create miracles.

C. Hiding some stage tools inside the coat.

D. Guiding the audience to focus on something unimportant.

C

Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity ( 圈养), they can be trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.

But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. In a recent study of cetaceans (鲸目动物)--a group of animals that includes dolphins and whales--researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species, reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry (模仿) and even care for each other's children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.

“There is the saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,”

Michael Muthukrishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.

However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The study suggests that dolphins might even gossip. That's because some species greet each other with specific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn't there. Could they be speaking about their “friend” behind its back?

For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.

Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis (假设),” it had only been used to explain the intelligence of humans and other primates (灵长目动物). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among biologically different species.

“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different in their structure but have brought us to the same patterns in behavior, ” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.

Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’ t have to look at other planets to look for aliens,” Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing species with so many parallels to us in their complex behaviors.”

8. The recent study was intended to ______.

A. learn more about intelligent creatures of the sea

B. explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceans

C. create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean species

D. see whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way

9. The implied meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3 is that ______.

A. villagers have the responsibility to raise any child in the village

B. like human beings, whales even help raise each other’s babies

C. cetaceans have social behaviors very similar to human beings

D. it is not easy for one villager to take care of his or her own child

10. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. it is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into them

B. some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beings

C. both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistles

D. both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors

11. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Aliens living underwater B. A study of intelligent dolphins

C. Intelligent creatures of the sea D. Reasons for the intelligence of sea creatures

D

One of a doctors’ most valuable tools is his nose. Since ancient times, medics have relied on their sense of smell to help them work out what is wrong with their patients. Fruity odors (气味) on the breath, for example, let them monitor the condition of diabetics (糖尿病病人).

But doctors can, as it were, smell only what they can smell—and many compounds characteristic of disease are odorless. To deal with this limitation, Hossam Haick, a chemical engineer at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, has developed a device which, he claims, can do work that the human nose cannot.

The idea behind Dr. Haick’s invention is not new. Many diagnostic “breathalysers” already exist, and sniffer dogs, too, can be trained to detect illnesses such as cancer. Most of these approaches, though, are disease-specific. Dr. Haick wanted to generalize the process.

As he describes in ACS Nano, he and his colleagues created a series of electrodes made of carbon nanotubes (纳米碳管). Each of these had one of 20 organic films laid over it. Each film was sensitive to one of a score of compounds known to be found on the breath of patients suffering from a range of 17 illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and bladder cancer. When a film reacted, its electrical resistance changed in a predictable manner. The combined changes produced an electrical fingerprint that would be diagnostic of the disease a patient was suffering from.

To test their invention, Dr. Haick and his colleagues collected 2,808 breath samples from 1,404 patients who were suffering from at least one of the diseases. Its success varied. It could distinguish between samples from patients suffering from gastric cancer and bladder cancer only 64% of the time. At distinguishing lung cancer from head and neck cancer it was, though, 100% successful. Overall, it got things right 86% of the time. Not perfect, but a useful aid to a doctor planning to conduct further investigations. And this is only the first model. Slightly adjusted, its success rate would be expected to improve.

12. How useful is nose to doctors?

A. They can smell what other people can’t.

B. They could tell which diseases are odorless.

C. They diagnose illness through their sense of smell.

D. They will apply new device to helping with diagnosing illness.

13. What is the most special aspect of the new invention?

A. It can help detect more than one disease.

B. It is made of a series of electrodes.

C. It works through analyzing patients’ electrical fingerprints.

D. It can be used to help diagnose cancers.

14 What can we infer about the device?

A. It’s the first invention by using principle of sense of smell.

B. It will be a useful tool in diagnosing lung cancer.

C. Its success rate differs from patient to patient.

D. It can successfully tell Bladder cancer from other cancers.

15. What is the best title for this passage?

A. High Tech in diagnosing illness B. A new way in diagnosing illness

C. Diagnosing illness can be easy D. Diagnosing illness by smell
