C
People turn to magic(魔力)chiefly as a form of insurance--that is, they use it along with actions that actually bring results．For example, hunters may use a hunting charm(咒语)．But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of animals．The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they need to hunt even more successfully than they would without it．If they shoot a lot of game(猎物), they credit the charm for their success．Many events happen naturally without magic．Crops grow without it, and sick people get well without it．But if people use magic to bring a good harvest or to cure a patient, they may believe the magic was responsible．
People also tend to forget magic's failures and to be impressed by its surface successes．They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 per cent of the time．Even when magic fails, people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic．They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician．
Many anthropologists(人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it．People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation．For example, farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their fields．But they know that weather, insects, or diseases might ruin the crops．So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensure a good harvest．

(1) Mr. Brown (the motorist)
At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger's (near) side of the car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.
(2) Mr. Smith (the injured motorcyclist)
On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motorcycle. I was going slowly because some of the streetlights were out and the road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his lights to give a warning. I could not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road.
(3) Mr. Lee (another motorcyclist)
At about 9:10 p.m. on October 14th, I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my motorcycle along Market Road. I was going to Newtown. There was a motorcycle about 40 metres in front of me. It was not going very quickly. The man on it was riding near the curb (路边) but I was near the center of the road. The motorcyclist in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time. He hit the car and was injured. There was no car going along in front of us or put by the road.

D．The accident was caused by the carelessness of the first motorcyclist.
49．It seems probable from the statements that Mr. Brown__________.
A．gave no signal to show that he was turning right
B．did not give any signal until he was actually turning
C．failed to give a proper signal at that time
