Related information(1) Magic may refer to:Magic (paranormal)anything that is not naturally explainable by any laws of nature. Magical thinkingFolk magic, traditional systems of magicMagick, the magical system of Aleister Crowley and ThelemaWitchcraft, the use of certain kinds of supernatural or magical powersMagic (illusion), the art of entertaining audiences by performing illusions and tricks Street magic, sleight of hand, etc.(2) Magic may be inIn fantasy fictionIn science and mathematics:In gamesIn popular cultureIn computing programming:Among radio stations(3) Famous magiciansWhat and who do you think of when asking about famous magicians?For most of us, the image is of a finely dressed man in a tuxedo or suit, possibly with a top hat, a magic wand and a handkerchief - the magician's uniform of choice.However, whilst some famous magicians do use this attire, not all magicians have conformed to this stereotype - indeed, sometimes their tricks required far less in the way of clothing, but still with their modesty intact, of course.Over the years, there have been so many famous magicians, actually too numerous for them all to get a mention, so we will concentrate on some of the more well known ones.All of these famous magicians have brought their own unique style to performing magic, illusions, tricks and escapology.Harry Houdini - probably one of the most famous magicians of them all, well known for escaping chains, ropes, handcuffs and straitjackets.David Copperfield - renowned for his spectacular illusions, including making the Status of Liberty disappear from view.Siegfried and Roy - famous magicians probably best known for their use of white tigers in their spectacular stage shows.Lance Burton - a popular American magician and also the first American to win the "World Championship of Magic".Doug Henning - a famous magician born in Canada. A colourful character with his brightly coloured clothes, thick moustache and long hair.David Blaine - initially known for his street magic, he now performs somewhat bizarre stunts such as being encased in a block of ice for over 60 days.Penn and Teller - a double act of famous magicians who are somewhat eccentric in their performances, enraging other magicians for publicly revealing how some tricks are done.Derren Brown - a prominent mind control performer who leads audiences along with subtle hints and psychological techniques, often to great effect.(4)David CopperfieldThe best known and richest magician-he ranks among the wealthiest of all entertainers-David Copperfield is a household name. He is known to millions through his numerous television specials over the last couple of decades and he continues to tour, taking his show around the country.Takes to Magic: Copperfield was born in New Jersey on September 16, 1956. He started as a ventriloquist and then quickly took to magic. Copperfield became theyoungest magician admitted to the Society of American Magicians (SAM). At age 16, he taught a magic course at New York University. When he was 18, Copperfield was cast as the lead in a Chicago production called “The Magic Man.”Network Magic Specials: His many magic specials have aired on network television over the past two decades, bringing his brand of illusion and magic to millions. Copperfield not only performs with large illusions, his shows typically feature a major magical feat.The Magic of David Copperfield ?a great way to describe one of the most spectacular illusionists of our time. His magic talent begin at an early age where he billed himself as 揇avino, the Boy Magician?and he was the youngest person ever to be admitted to the Society of American Magicians at age 14.The magic of David Copperfield was so good he was also teaching the subject at New York University when just 16 years of age. Originally David Kotkin, it wasn抰until he was 18 years old that he decided on the stage name David Copperfield.He got his break into television just a year later, but it was a few years after that when The Magic of David Copperfield series was commissioned.The Magic of David Copperfield 3 that saw the levitation of a Ferrari, an illusion that could have cost David his life as when only three feet in the air, the car fell.Making The Statue of Liberty disappear was performed in The Magic of David Copperfield 5. This amazing illusion involved a live audience sitting in front of two towers, and between them, in the distance was The Statue of Liberty. A curtain was raised using the two towers and when lowered, amazingly the Statue had disappeared.By now, The Magic of David Copperfield was getting huge audiences.Walking through The Great Wall of China was another superb illusion performed in The Magic of David Copperfield 8. A covered frame is placed next to the wall and a light shone from behind. David enters the frame and, as a silhouette, is seen to disappear into the wall. On the other side of the wall, a similar frame is constructed and a silhouette is seen to appear out of the wall before David removes the curtains to reveal himself.In The Magic of David Copperfield 13, he performs Mystery On The Orient Express where a carriage of the Orient Express is covered with a huge curtain, the carriage is then levitated before the curtain is removed to reveal the carriage has disappeared.David performed his most remarkable illusion to date in The Magic of David Copperfield 14. He mimics the take-off of a bird, and then starts to fly and swoop around the stage. Hoops are then rotated around his body to show there are no wires before he enters a glass case and levitates in the, now lidded, case.(5) Summary of magicThe art of magic and conjuring has been prevalent for hundreds if not thousands of years, baffling and astounding audiences with tricks that convince them the impossible has been achieved. This sort of magic, commonly called street magic, is highly respected due to the closeness the illusionist must keep with his audience. Although the veil of secrecy is usually impenetrable amongst magicians, it is possibleto work alongside a professional magician or illusionist and learn from his techniques.4.

泛读教程 Book III Unit 3 Signals Without Words
Unit 3Pre-reading questions1. What is a signal without words? Give your own description of it.2. Is the signal without words important? If so, how important is it? Give some examples to support your idea.3. What is the key word in the essay? Find it and prove your understanding.4. Draw a conclusion of the main idea of this articleText ISignals Without Words"I liked him the minute I saw him!" you sometimes hear. You've probably heard something like this a few times too: "Before she even said a word, I knew there was something funny about her." Such statements are examples of what are sometimes called "snap judgments,"opinions which are formed suddenly, seemingly on no sound basis at all. Most people would say that snap judgments are unsound or even dangerous. They would also admit, however, that they themselves often make snap judgments and may find them to be fairly reliable.Snap judgments, "love at first sight," "instant antipathy" and other sudden emotional responses, if taken seriously, have usually been considered signs of immaturity or lack of sense. When someone "has a feeling" about someone else, people more often laugh than pay attention. Most people assume that you find out about a person by listening to what he says over a period of time. Someone may occasionally remind you that "actions speak louder than words," but this is usually a reference to such things as keeping promises or paying bills or sending money home to Mother.Because people assume that "you are what you say you are," they do a lot of talking in order to become acquainted with each other. There are predictable topics which businessmen, housewives, singles and others will touch upon when they first meet. Later, once two people have gotten acquainted, they more or less assume that it was all that conversation that gave them their information about each other.As behavioral sciences develop, however, researchers find that the importance of speech has been overestimated. Though speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use other means of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible that we are unconsciously sending out messages with our every action, messages which are also unconsciously picked up by observers and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and reactions to them on the part of others may in part account for the "feelings" and "snap judgments" mentioned above.We communicate a great deal, the researchers have found, with our bodies — the way wemove, sit, stand and what we do with our hands and heads, for example. Imagine a few people sitting in a waiting room: one is drumming his fingers on his briefcase, another keeps rubbing his hands together, another is biting his fingernails, still another grasps the arms of his chair tightly and a final one keeps running his fingers over his hair. These people aren't talking, but they're "saying" a lot if you happen to know the "language" they're using.Two of the most "telling" forms of behavior are driving a car and playing games. It is interesting to note a person's reaction to stress in these situations and to aggressive behavior in others. If he easily becomes angry, excited, passive or resentful when driving or playing, you may have a clue to his personality.Like many other forms of behavior, how you dress tells a lot about you. While clothing serves a purely practical function, it also communicates many things about your social status, personality, state of mind and even your aspirations and dreams. The eleven-year-old girl who dresses like a college student and the forty-year-old woman who dresses like a teenager are saying something by means of what they wear. According to studies, what you communicate through your mode of dress definitely influences others to accept the image of you that you are projecting: in the business worlds, the person who dresses like a successful manager is most likely to be promoted into a managerial position sooner or later.Also significant are the ornaments a person wears: buttons, medals, jewelry, etc. Such ornaments are often the means by which a person advertises a variety of things about himself: his convictions (campaign buttons), his beliefs (religious tokens), his membership in certain groups (club pins or badges), his past achievements (college ring or Phi Beta Kappa key) and his economic status (diamond jewelry).Some studies have shown that there is a correlation between a person's color preferences and his personality. Yellow, for example, is favored by intellectuals, while purple is especially preferred by romantics. What colors do you like to wear and decorate your home with? You're probably communicating a lot about yourself through your choices. Do some colors attract you or annoy you or remind you of someone? These reactions could tell you something about yourself or about that other person. Colors that attract or annoy you may represent personality traits that have the same effect on you. A color which reminds you of someone may represent certain of his personality traits, as perceived by you.Another indicator of a person's character is said to be found in his preferences in architecture and furniture. A person who really would like to live in a castle would probably be more at home in the Middle Ages. Lovers of Victorian family houses and furniture might secretly welcome a return to more rigid social norms. People who 【are content with contemporary design】are probably well-adapted to modern life-styles.You see a person for the first time. Even though he doesn't speak to you, you begin observing him: his actions, his stance, his clothing and many other things. There's a wealth of information there if you know how to "read" it. Perhaps snap judgments aren't so unsound after all.Key and Difficult Language Points in Teaching1. snap judgments:2. sound basis: very reasonable/ dependable/ firmly established basis3. instant antipathy: feeling of dislike aroused suddenly4. …, but this is usually a reference to such things as keeping promises or paying bills or sending money home to Mother: with this sentence, the author means that the proverb “actions speak louder than words” is usually used when people talk about things like keeping promises or paying bills or sending money home to Mother, and it is usually not used to refer to the fact that you can get to know a person better by observing his behavior5. become acquainted with: get familiar with6. touch upon: mention or deal with a topic briefly7. overestimate vs underestimate8. account for: explain9. in part: partially10. drumming his fingers: making a drum-like sound with fingers11. aspiration: ambition12. be more at home: feel more at ease13. traits: features of a person’s personality or character as in personality trait/ psychological trait, and so on.14. rigid social norms: very strict social conventions that every member of a community is supposed to follow or observe15. be well-adapted to modern life-style: be able to adapt to modern life-style well16. sound/ unsound judgment: a judgment that is reasonable/ unreasonableAfter-reading workshopIf snap judgments aren’t quite unsound, are they decisive in our dealing with matters? How likely can they be decisive? Please make your investigation to tell it.。

打破魔术的气泡如今心理学家们认识到魔术师对人们如何感知世界了解甚多。
Alok Jha发现了观众是如何让自己受骗的。
人们首先感到的是震惊，略带点不信任。
接下来的一刻是惊叹。
然后，一阵很大的骚乱扭曲了大家的理智，你已经上当了。
你无法抗拒一个好的魔术的影响。
从Houdini的惊天逃生和Derron Brown虚幻的精神欺骗，再到儿童聚会上的魔术表演，无人能抵抗魔术的魅力“魔术由来已久，并与时俱进。
”来自Hertfordshire大学的心理学教授Richard Wiseman 说，“一个魔术结束时，你在看的大都是一些专业技术效果。
我想心理学家们从这点可以学到很多。
但是，心理学家并不满足于欣赏魔术，现在正利用魔术对心智的影响揭秘我们如何处理涌入大脑的感官信息的洪流，以及如何将其加工成属于现实世界而又来自精神世界的画面。
魔术是一种欺骗，是对精神世界中有序画面的扰乱——物体好像漂浮在半空中，硬币或者纸牌在眼前消失。
如今科学家们相信，通过详细描绘出我们的心智是如何被欺骗的，甚至可以解开意识本身的一些奥秘。
“在过去的5年里，当我们看到诸如对变化视而不见之类的事情以及又一事实，即意识来自真实的构建，也甚至可以来自错觉的误导时，我们做了反省。
”身为技艺精湛的魔术师并为Magic Circle（魔术圈）成员的Wiseman说，“现今人们意识到了魔术师做的事非常特别。
”一些现代心理学的创始人曾对魔术师颇有兴趣：在19世纪90年代，现代IQ测试的发明者Alfred Binet和Max Dessoir记录了关于魔术师们如何利用暗示和注意力转移让那些错觉发挥作用的方式。
1986年，Joseph Jastow在《科学》杂志上发表了关于当时大魔术师们的一些魔术使用的手法的文章。
但这些文章只是描述了魔术师所做的，无力解释为什么魔术会对观众产生这样的影响。
结果，人们对研究魔术中的心理学的兴趣消失了近一个世纪。
但是，正如Wiseman所说，这一兴趣正在全力复兴。

What are Genetically Modified Food
The term GM foods or GMOs (genetically-modified organisms) is most commonly used to refer toor human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding, but conventional plant breeding methods can be very time consuming and are often not very accurate. Genetic engineering, on the other hand, can create plants with the exact desired trait very rapidly and with great accuracy. For example, plant geneticists can isolate a gene responsible for drought tolerance and insert that gene into a different plant. The new genetically-modified plant will gain drought tolerance as well.

3．The history of Walt Disney? Walt Disney, the creator of this Mickey Mouse , the lovable cartoon character, was born in Chicago in 11901. Later he moved with his family to a farm near Kansas City, where he worked as a newsboy. But his real interest was to draw pictures. 4. The history of Mickey Mouse Mickey was followed by Donald Duck, Pluto the dog, and the three little pigs in short films that brought laughter to children and adults around the world. According to Disney , these newer animal characters were created because there were certain things Mickey could not do. People wrote angry letters to Disney if Mickey did something wrong. 5. The cultural information of Hollywood Movies were first made in Holly wood before World War I. The constant sunshine and mild climate of southern Californian made it an ideal site for shooting pictures. Hollywood’s fame and fortune reached its peak in the 1930s and 1940s. In those days Hollywood was like a magnet, drawing ambitious young men and women from all over the world. Most of them had only their good looks to recommend them and had not acting experience or ability ---what so ever.
