英语周报高考版2023-2024第11期词汇语法练习答案

Here’s 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 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 people’s love for magic.

Liu is known for his interaction (互动) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧)．

“It’s actually thinking rather than one’s manipulation (操作) 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 Qian’s 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 Taiwan’s Youth Magic 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 (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 passers?by，policemen and farmers.
