Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts. Archaeological(考古学的)

findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning

of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.

Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and

bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but

are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts---by

using scissors of knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors.

Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with

pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table.

Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.

In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and

paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach flowers , mice, fighting roosters and

rabbits eating carrots.

This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting

artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in

workshops.

Here's an unusual story：a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician，Liu Qian，discovered it，in front of an audience of millions 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.

Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people's

love for magic.

Liu is known for his interaction (互动) 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.

Liu Qian's success dated 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 refine 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.

1.The story is about ________.

A. Liu Qian's experiences of becoming a great magician

B. why people love magic

C. what magic tricks are

D. how fashionable magic is

2.People love to watch magic because ________.
