Magic is believed to have begun with the Egyptians, in 1700 BC. A magician named Dedi of Dedsnefu was reported to have performed for the pharaoh, or the king. He was also known to have entertained the slaves who built the pyramids. The "Cups and Balls" trick which he was particularly good at is still performed by magicians all over the world today. The ancient Greeks and Romans were also fascinated by the idea of magic. Actually, one of their main interests was the art of deception（欺骗）. This explains why at that time the priests（神父） even built magic devices into their temples. These devices made it possible for doors to open by themselves and wine to flow magically out of statues' mouths. This was done mainly to convince people that the priests were powerful. Magic, however, was not well accepted before the 1800s. Magicians were thought of as freaks（怪物） and were only allowed to perform in a circus（马戏团）. It was in the 19th century that the magician Robert Houdin came along and changed people's views and attitudes about magic. It was also because of Robert Houdin that many magicians were able to add Dr. or MD to their names. Today magicians try hard to find new ways to show their practiced skills. Magic is now entertainment for families all over the world. 1.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Magical Tricks B. The History of Magic C. Magic as Entertainment D. A Great Magician 2.In ancient Greece, what did the priests do to show people they had unusual power? A. They performed magical tricks to entertain people. B. They made the statues in the temples drink wine as they wished. C. They treated the people with wine flowing down from statues' mouths. D. They built magic devices in the temples to make doors open by themselves. 3. What did people think of magic before 1800? A. Magic should be used only in temples. B. Magic could only be performed in a circus. C. Magic was performed by freaks and doctors. D. Magic was the major daily activity for the pharaohs. 4.Which of the following statements is true? A. Magic began about 3,700 years ago. B. Dedi of Dedsnefu performed magic for kings only. C. Robert Houdin was the first magician to perform magic. D. The "Cups and Balls" trick has been performed for about 1,700 years.

There are three branches of medicine. One is called "doctor medicine," or "scientific medicine." Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients. A second kind of medicine is called "natural cures," or "folk medicine," in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished（繁荣） long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine. The third kind is called "health spas," or "faith healing." Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines（圣坛） for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better. 1.Doctor medicine __________. A. has a longer history than folk medicine B. has been practiced for around 1,600 years C. bases its treatments on observation and logic D. was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times 2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas? A. Magic power. B. Various herbs. C. Religious faith. D. A healthy life style. 3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis. B. People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs. C. The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine. D. Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times. 4.The author's primary purpose in this passage is to __________. A. describe different types of medicine B. argue for the importance of medicine in health care C. show the crucial role religion plays in medical treatments D. compare the educational background of three different types of patients

Most people know that a wedding ring is symbolic of the bond(连结物) of love and commitment（承诺） between two people. But not everyone knows about the history behind this small yet powerful symbol. The history of the wedding ring goes back not just hundreds but thousands of years. No other currently practiced wedding tradition has been around as long. The Egyptians were the first recorded civilization to use the wedding ring. In Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字） a circle represented eternity. Once a woman accepted the ring she became the “property” of the person who gave it to her and she was in a sense “his.” The first wedding ring could have been made of braided grass or hay （which would have been changed often）, ivory, bone, or leather. Eventually, metal was used, but the first wedding bands were crude（未加工的） and rough. However, the sentiment（情感） remained the same-eternal commitment and love. The Egyptians wore the wedding ring on the left hand because it was believed that a vein（静脉） in the left hand went straight to the heart. This tradition is still commonly practiced today in most parts of the world largely for practical purposes （most people are right handed.）It is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. But there are some countries and groups which do not follow this tradition. In the Jewish faith, the wedding ring is put on the index finger. Roman Catholics traditionally wore their wedding band on the right hand, and in many countries and regions in Europe some people still follow this tradition. It is interesting to note that in the long history of the wedding ring that it is only in the last century that men have begun to wear them. However, now both men and women show their love and commitment by exchanging rings on their wedding day. Once you begin shopping for rings you may be amazed by the choices that await you. There are several different types of metals: traditional gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium. You can have an inscription（刻字） put on the inside of the band（镶边） if you like. Some people are even choosing a tattoo（刺花） band. The styles vary from a simple, yet elegant（优雅的） band to an elaborate（精致的） ring covered with jewels. If you do not buy the wedding and engagement rings as a set you will want to be sure the styles are compatible（一致的）. Choose carefully because this choice will need to stand the test of eternity. 1.What would be the best title for this passage? A. History of rings B. Interesting facts about rings C. Different beliefs about rings D. The meaning of the rings. 2.What may the word “eternity” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Elegance B. Marriage C. Wedding D. Foreverness 3.Which is NOT true according to the passage? A. The meaning of the rings remained unchanged. B. One should be careful of choosing a ring in a shop from different kinds. C. Jewish are so faithful to their beliefs to wear rings on the fourth finger. D. Now most people in the world still follow Roman Catholics traditionally. 4.What can we infer from the passage? A. Men were looked upon by women for thousands years. B. Only women have the right to make themselves beautiful. C. women wore rings thousands of years earlier than men. D. You can have an inscription put on the inside the band.
