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 (acting together) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧).
“It’s actually thinking, rather than one’s operation 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 dates 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 improve his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for passers-by, policemen and farmers.
“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,” Liu said. 31. The story is about________.
A. how Liu Qian became China’s hottest magician B. why people love magic C. what magic tricks are
D. how fashionable magic is
32. People love to watch magic because________.
A. they can’t figure out the secret of magic B. it arouses (激发) their curiosity C. they love watching magicians make the impossible happen D. it is a centuries-old art 33. 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 Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest. C. He became an amateur magician in his spare time. D. He couldn’t find an acceptable job after graduation. 34. From the story we know that________. A. Liu Qian competed in many magic competitions B.

B
There was a Bulgarian(保加利亚的) boy who was an exchange student in the USA. He lived with an American family. One day, he went to his room in the evening, and did his homework. His host-mom came to him and asked if he would like to go along to the movies. He wanted to go, so he shook his head from side to side, said “Yes”. His host-mom did a couple of steps back, and looked puzzled.
She thought that he didn’t want to go out because he shook his head from side to side. However, he wanted to go out to the movies. Bulgarians shake their heads from side to side when they mean “yes”. People in other countries shake their heads from side to side when they mean “no”.
Gestures can have different meanings according to different cultures. For example, in America, putting your index finger(食指) and your thumb(拇指) in a circle is commonly used as an OK sign that means everything is all right. However, in France, that sign is used to express “nothing” or “zero”, which can have a negative meaning.
Generally speaking, gestures are a type of communication that uses a part of our body, and when speaking with people from other cultures, gestures can be important keys or clues to understand them.
