    D
    Here’s an unusual story: a diamond right was recently found in an egg. The magician, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of rail lions 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.

    “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.

    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.
