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 (互動(dòng)) 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.

Yet，Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur (業(yè)余的) magician in his spare time. However， his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.

True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we're foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren't afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.

Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm.

Friends offer acceptance and emotional (情感的) support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.

Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

A total of 3.41 million people have applied for the postgraduate entrance examination, that will begin on Saturday and last until Monday. Data releasing by an information website showed the number of students taking the exam have doubled in Jiangsu, Sichuan, and other province in the past five years.

The increase in postgraduate applicants is that the demand for higher education in China remains strongly. Xiong Bingqi, vice-director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said manystudents apply to postgraduate studies mainly to find a better job."Many people pursue highly education not only to enhance their know ledge or skills, and to get a good job. This may reduce the general quality of graduates. As result, companies may find it harder to get the employees they want," he said.

While Grandma’s Marathon has been on my mind for years, I always found myself committed to a different race. When my sister mentioned she was signing up for the race last fall, I followed suit. It felt so far away at first, especially during those early training runs in the dead of winter. That changed once spring began. Before I knew it, the marathon day had arrived.

I’m no stranger to this, but nothing prepared me for Grandma’s Marathon mentally. Race day would be cold and rainy one day, then hot and sunny the next. Part of this has to do with the fact that Grandma’s Marathon is in June, the middle of Minnesota’s severe weather season, which typically witnesses the most thunderstorms.

Things weren’t looking great the night before the race. There was potential for thunderstorms, meaning race cancellation, and the temperature seemed a little hot. Everything changed when we woke up.

I’m not sure if it was because of the fog present through most of the morning, but the race course was just beautiful. We passed through gently rolling hills in quiet, wooded areas for much of the beginning. And the first time I saw Lake Superior, it nearly took my breath away. Even the finishing area was picturesque. I really had a good race that day.

I come from a family full of runners and many of us compete in the same events. The sad reality is that it’s rare that more than one of us will have a good race during the same competition until Grandma’s Marathon 2018. Finishing in a time of 3:26:18, I ran the second fastest.

The method of manual（手工的）papermaking changed very little over time, despite advances in technologies.【2】Separate the useful fibre from the rest of raw materials. Beat down the fibre into pulp（紙漿）.Adjust the color, chemical, biological, and other properties of the paper. Screen （篩選）the resulting liquid. Press and dry to get the actual paper.

【3】 It is made of stainless materials and set in a wooden frame similar to that of a window. Then completely bathe it in the liquid and draw it out. Water is removed and the wet mat of fibre is laid on top of a damp cloth. The fairly damp fiber is then dried. Finally, the paper is then cut to the desired shape and packed.

The wooden frame is called a “deckle” （定紙框）. 【4】 The “deckle edges” are one of the indications that the paper was made by hand. Deckle-edged paper is occasionally imitated today to create the impression of old-fashioned luxury.

Her group studied some 600 middle school students. Over three years, students in fifth, sixth and seventh grades were asked about their breakfast. Throughout the study bout 34 to 44 percent of all students said they regularly ate breakfast at home. Up to 17 percent or almost one in every six kids regularly ate breakfast at school. Overall, about one in every 10 kids reported having breakfast both at home and at school. And eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older.

Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school. Indeed, the study found no evidence of greater weight gain among students who ate double breakfasts. Rather, it found that students who skipped breakfast were those most likely to be overweight.

Skipping breakfast may set people to be over-hungry later in the day. Then someone may eat more food than their body needs. It might take the brain longer to realize “you have enough food and can stop eating now”. If true, skipping breakfast may actually lead a person to consume too many calories (卡路里) over the rest of the day.

“Earlier studies have shown this to be the case. The total calories taken in 24 hours are less when you eat a good breakfast,” says Diana Cutts, who works at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. “Eating healthily in the morning is really what you need to have energy. Skipping breakfast is not good for your body and brain.”

【1】Which is true according to Marlene Schwartz’s study?

A.One in every ten kids had breakfast at school.

B.Eating habits didn’t change as kids got older.

C.Kids having breakfast were more likely to be overweight.

D.Having double breakfasts doesn’t mean gaining greater weight.

【2】What may cause overweight in children who skip breakfast?

A.The poor function of the body.

B.Eating too much later in the day.

C.Eating too much unhealthy food.

D.Lack of calory-burning exercise.

【3】What do Diana Cutts’ words tell us?

A.The importance of energy.

B.The harm of calory intake.

C.The harm of light breakfast.

D.The importance of breakfast.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Causes of childhood overweight.

B.Ways to keep a healthy weight.

C.Skipping breakfast may lead to overweight.

D.Eating double breakfasts is healthier.

So far, I’ve been overwhelmed by how convenient life can be with Wechat. It is present in every aspect of people’s daily life, from paying water and electricity bills, meals, cinema tickets to hailing a taxi, following news, and chatting with friends. Most merchants have adopted it, from tiny local street food stalls to high-end stores. A cashier may be surprised if you do not pay with Wechat or Alipay at the grocers or in restaurants. And it seems like the entire payment industry has encouraged this shift to mobile payment, equipping payment terminals (終端) with QR code scanners to simplify payments. Mobile payments are so common here that I realize that I can perfectly survive if I forget my wallet at home one day because most days I just don’t take it out of my bag!

As mentioned earlier, Wechat is also a major social media platform with about one billion daily users, which is more than the entire population of the European Union. So I have to say Chinese technological and digital development is a real miracle.

【1】What does the underlined word mean in Paragragh 2?
