Learning the scientific principles behind the magic performancebehind the magic performance.2.Some wo rds might cause difficulty in students’ understanding of the textAbout two periods of class will be used for the analysis and discussion of the passage itself.Total class hours: three periodsAsk some students to perfume some simple magic tricks (they should prepare before the class) in front of the whole class. Let them guess where the tricks lie. 2. Warm-up questions(1)Do you like watching magic performance? Why?(2)Which magician do you like bet?(3)Which magic trick do you like to watch best?3. Related information(1) Magic may refer to:Magic (paranormal)anything that is not naturally explainable by any laws of nature. Magical thinkingFolk magic, traditional systems of magicMagick, the magical system of Aleister Crowley and ThelemaWitchcraft, the use of certain kinds of supernatural or magical powersMagic (illusion), the art of entertaining audiences by performing illusions and tricks Street magic, sleight of hand, etc.(2) Magic may be inIn fantasy fictionIn science and mathematics:In gamesIn popular cultureIn computing programming:Among radio stations(3) Famous magiciansWhat and who do you think of when asking about famous magicians?For most of us, the image is of a finely dressed man in a tuxedo or suit, possibly with a top hat, a magic wand and a handkerchief - the magician's uniform of choice.However, whilst some famous magicians do use this attire, not all magicians have conformed to this stereotype - indeed, sometimes their tricks required far less in the way of clothing, but still with their modesty intact, of course.Over the years, there have been so many famous magicians, actually too numerous for them all to get a mention, so we will concentrate on some of the more well known ones.All of these famous magicians have brought their own unique style to performing magic, illusions, tricks and escapology.Harry Houdini - probably one of the most famous magicians of them all, well known for escaping chains, ropes, handcuffs and straitjackets.David Copperfield - renowned for his spectacular illusions, including making the Status of Liberty disappear from view.Siegfried and Roy - famous magicians probably best known for their use of white tigers in their spectacular stage shows.Lance Burton - a popular American magician and also the first American to win the "World Championship of Magic".Doug Henning - a famous magician born in Canada. A colourful character with his brightly coloured clothes, thick moustache and long hair.David Blaine - initially known for his street magic, he now performs somewhat bizarre stunts such as being encased in a block of ice for over 60 days.Penn and Teller - a double act of famous magicians who are somewhat eccentric in their performances, enraging other magicians for publicly revealing how some tricks are done.Derren Brown - a prominent mind control performer who leads audiences along with subtle hints and psychological techniques, often to great effect.(4)David CopperfieldThe best known and richest magician-he ranks among the wealthiest of all entertainers-David Copperfield is a household name. He is known to millions through his numerous television specials over the last couple of decades and he continues to tour, taking his show around the country.Takes to Magic: Copperfield was born in New Jersey on September 16, 1956. He started as a ventriloquist and then quickly took to magic. Copperfield became theyoungest magician admitted to the Society of American Magicians (SAM). At age 16, he taught a magic course at New York University. When he was 18, Copperfield was cast as the lead in a Chicago production called “The Magic Man.”Network Magic Specials: His many magic specials have aired on network television over the past two decades, bringing his brand of illusion and magic to millions. Copperfield not only performs with large illusions, his shows typically feature a major magical feat.The Magic of David Copperfield ?a great way to describe one of the most spectacular illusionists of our time. His magic talent begin at an early age where he billed himself as 揇avino, the Boy Magician?and he was the youngest person ever to be admitted to the Society of American Magicians at age 14.The magic of David Copperfield was so good he was also teaching the subject at New York University when just 16 years of age. Originally David Kotkin, it wasn抰until he was 18 years old that he decided on the stage name David Copperfield.He got his break into television just a year later, but it was a few years after that when The Magic of David Copperfield series was commissioned.The Magic of David Copperfield 3 that saw the levitation of a Ferrari, an illusion that could have cost David his life as when only three feet in the air, the car fell.Making The Statue of Liberty disappear was performed in The Magic of David Copperfield 5. This amazing illusion involved a live audience sitting in front of two towers, and between them, in the distance was The Statue of Liberty. A curtain was raised using the two towers and when lowered, amazingly the Statue had disappeared.By now, The Magic of David Copperfield was getting huge audiences.Walking through The Great Wall of China was another superb illusion performed in The Magic of David Copperfield 8. A covered frame is placed next to the wall and a light shone from behind. David enters the frame and, as a silhouette, is seen to disappear into the wall. On the other side of the wall, a similar frame is constructed and a silhouette is seen to appear out of the wall before David removes the curtains to reveal himself.In The Magic of David Copperfield 13, he performs Mystery On The Orient Express where a carriage of the Orient Express is covered with a huge curtain, the carriage is then levitated before the curtain is removed to reveal the carriage has disappeared.David performed his most remarkable illusion to date in The Magic of David Copperfield 14. He mimics the take-off of a bird, and then starts to fly and swoop around the stage. Hoops are then rotated around his body to show there are no wires before he enters a glass case and levitates in the, now lidded, case.(5) Summary of magicThe art of magic and conjuring has been prevalent for hundreds if not thousands of years, baffling and astounding audiences with tricks that convince them the impossible has been achieved. This sort of magic, commonly called street magic, is highly respected due to the closeness the illusionist must keep with his audience. Although the veil of secrecy is usually impenetrable amongst magicians, it is possibleto work alongside a professional magician or illusionist and learn from his techniques.4.

UNIT 1 创造性思维的艺术约翰·阿代尔创造性对人类发展至美重要。

下面的文章里，约翰·阿代尔为求实的创造性思维者提供了一些颇有见地的见解和技巧。

创造性思维在今天的重要性不需要强调。

在你的职业中或工作领域,如果你能够发展提出新思想的能力,你就有竞争优势。

在你的个人生活中，创造性思维也能将你带上创新活动之路。

它可以丰富你的人生,尽管并非总是以你期待的方式。

人类创造力人类不可能凭空创造东西。

有一次，一位来宾极为仔细地参观了亨利·福特的汽车公司，然后见到了福特。

来宾心中充满了惊奇和崇敬，他对这位实业家说:“福特先生，25年前起家时几乎一无所有的人，不可能实现这一切。

”福特回答说，“这个说法可不太对。

每个人都是靠所有拥有的东西来起家。

这里什么都有——所需要的一切,它们的基本点和实质性的东西都已存在。

”潜在的材料，也就是可以做成或建构成某种东西的元素之成分或者实质的材料，都已存在于我们的宇宙。

你可能已经注意到,我们倾向于将创造性这个词用在与使用的原材料很不一样的产品上。

鲁宾斯的一幅名作，就是蓝色、红色、黄色和绿色的蠕虫般颜料在艺术家画板上的集合。

物质材料，对艺术家来说是颜料和画布;对作家来说是纸和笔——完全是次要的。

这里的创造，更多的是在大脑之中。

感知、思想和感觉都在一种观念或想象中结合起来。

当然，艺术家、作家或作曲家还需要使用技巧和技术，在画布或纸上把头脑中构想出来的东西塑造成型。

和普通意义上的创造性一样，创造性思维遵循同样的原则。

我们的创造性想象必须有可以加工的对象。

我们不能凭空产生新的思想。

如上面福特所说的那样，原材料都在那里。

有创造力的大脑在原材料中看到可能性和相关性,而创造力不强的大脑却看不到。

这一结论让我们大大地松了一口气。

你不用凭空构想新的想法。

作为创造性思维者,你的任务是将已经存在的想法或元素组合在一起。

如果最终把人们从未想过可以联系起来的想法或事物，用看似不可能却很有价值的方式组合起来，那人们就会认为你是创造性思维者。

Unit 3Pre-reading questions1. What is a signal without words? Give your own description of it.2. Is the signal without words important? If so, how important is it? Give some examples to support your idea.3. What is the key word in the essay? Find it and prove your understanding.4. Draw a conclusion of the main idea of this articleText ISignals Without Words"I liked him the minute I saw him!" you sometimes hear. You've probably heard something like this a few times too: "Before she even said a word, I knew there was something funny about her." Such statements are examples of what are sometimes called "snap judgments,"opinions which are formed suddenly, seemingly on no sound basis at all. Most people would say that snap judgments are unsound or even dangerous. They would also admit, however, that they themselves often make snap judgments and may find them to be fairly reliable.Snap judgments, "love at first sight," "instant antipathy" and other sudden emotional responses, if taken seriously, have usually been considered signs of immaturity or lack of sense. When someone "has a feeling" about someone else, people more often laugh than pay attention. Most people assume that you find out about a person by listening to what he says over a period of time. Someone may occasionally remind you that "actions speak louder than words," but this is usually a reference to such things as keeping promises or paying bills or sending money home to Mother.Because people assume that "you are what you say you are," they do a lot of talking in order to become acquainted with each other. There are predictable topics which businessmen, housewives, singles and others will touch upon when they first meet. Later, once two people have gotten acquainted, they more or less assume that it was all that conversation that gave them their information about each other.As behavioral sciences develop, however, researchers find that the importance of speech has been overestimated. Though speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use other means of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible that we are unconsciously sending out messages with our every action, messages which are also unconsciously picked up by observers and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and reactions to them on the part of others may in part account for the "feelings" and "snap judgments" mentioned above.We communicate a great deal, the researchers have found, with our bodies — the way wemove, sit, stand and what we do with our hands and heads, for example. Imagine a few people sitting in a waiting room: one is drumming his fingers on his briefcase, another keeps rubbing his hands together, another is biting his fingernails, still another grasps the arms of his chair tightly and a final one keeps running his fingers over his hair. These people aren't talking, but they're "saying" a lot if you happen to know the "language" they're using.Two of the most "telling" forms of behavior are driving a car and playing games. It is interesting to note a person's reaction to stress in these situations and to aggressive behavior in others. If he easily becomes angry, excited, passive or resentful when driving or playing, you may have a clue to his personality.Like many other forms of behavior, how you dress tells a lot about you. While clothing serves a purely practical function, it also communicates many things about your social status, personality, state of mind and even your aspirations and dreams. The eleven-year-old girl who dresses like a college student and the forty-year-old woman who dresses like a teenager are saying something by means of what they wear. According to studies, what you communicate through your mode of dress definitely influences others to accept the image of you that you are projecting: in the business worlds, the person who dresses like a successful manager is most likely to be promoted into a managerial position sooner or later.Also significant are the ornaments a person wears: buttons, medals, jewelry, etc. Such ornaments are often the means by which a person advertises a variety of things about himself: his convictions (campaign buttons), his beliefs (religious tokens), his membership in certain groups (club pins or badges), his past achievements (college ring or Phi Beta Kappa key) and his economic status (diamond jewelry).Some studies have shown that there is a correlation between a person's color preferences and his personality. Yellow, for example, is favored by intellectuals, while purple is especially preferred by romantics. What colors do you like to wear and decorate your home with? You're probably communicating a lot about yourself through your choices. Do some colors attract you or annoy you or remind you of someone? These reactions could tell you something about yourself or about that other person. Colors that attract or annoy you may represent personality traits that have the same effect on you. A color which reminds you of someone may represent certain of his personality traits, as perceived by you.Another indicator of a person's character is said to be found in his preferences in architecture and furniture. A person who really would like to live in a castle would probably be more at home in the Middle Ages. Lovers of Victorian family houses and furniture might secretly welcome a return to more rigid social norms. People who 【are content with contemporary design】are probably well-adapted to modern life-styles.You see a person for the first time. Even though he doesn't speak to you, you begin observing him: his actions, his stance, his clothing and many other things. There's a wealth of information there if you know how to "read" it. Perhaps snap judgments aren't so unsound after all.Key and Difficult Language Points in Teaching1. snap judgments:2. sound basis: very reasonable/ dependable/ firmly established basis3. instant antipathy: feeling of dislike aroused suddenly4. …, but this is usually a reference to such things as keeping promises or paying bills or sending money home to Mother: with this sentence, the author means that the proverb “actions speak louder than words” is usually used when people talk about things like keeping promises or paying bills or sending money home to Mother, and it is usually not used to refer to the fact that you can get to know a person better by observing his behavior5. become acquainted with: get familiar with6. touch upon: mention or deal with a topic briefly7. overestimate vs underestimate8. account for: explain9. in part: partially10. drumming his fingers: making a drum-like sound with fingers11. aspiration: ambition12. be more at home: feel more at ease13. traits: features of a person’s personality or character as in personality trait/ psychological trait, and so on.14. rigid social norms: very strict social conventions that every member of a community is supposed to follow or observe15. be well-adapted to modern life-style: be able to adapt to modern life-style well16. sound/ unsound judgment: a judgment that is reasonable/ unreasonableAfter-reading workshopIf snap judgments aren’t quite unsound, are they decisive in our dealing with matters? How likely can they be decisive? Please make your investigation to tell it.。

Difficult pointsUnit31. Over the past decade, genetically modified (GM) food has become an increasingly common phenomenon as scientists have rewoven the genes of countless fruits and vegetables, turning everyday crops into über-crops able to resist frost, withstand herbicides and even produce their own pesticides.●在刚刚过去的十年中，随着科学家们对许多蔬菜和水果中基因的改变，这些人们每天食用的作物已经变成超级作物，这些作物能够防霜冻，抵抗除草剂，甚至它们本身就能杀虫，因此转基因食物已迅速成为普遍现象。

●在本句中，as 引导原因状语从句，●able to resist frost, withstand herbicides and even produce their own pesticides修饰über-crops 。

withstand: remain undamaged or unaffected bye.g. The structure had been designed to withstand winds of more than 100mph.2. Sales of GM seeds rose in value from $75 million in 1995 to $1.5 billion last year, and the crops they produce are turning up not only on produce shelves but also in processed foods from cookies to potato chips to baby food.●基因作物种子售出的总值从1995年的七百五十万增加到去年的十亿五千万，并且他们生产的作物不仅出现在直接生产的产品中而且出现在加工食品中，从饼干到薯条到婴儿食品。

你知道这些词是怎么产生的吗？阅读下文你就能找到造英语单词的各种方法。

学者们估计英语大约有600 000个单词，不过也许更多。

新的词语不断进入英语，其速度之快，大概没有一本字典能跟得上。

几个世纪以前，源于盎格鲁•撒克逊语、日尔曼语以及法语的原有词汇，占英语的五分之四。

余下的五分之一，一部分外来词组成，另外的部分由其它三种词组成，它们是：表示人名、地名的专有名词；象声词以及新造的词。

安培、伏特和瓦特都是电学的计量单位，它们都是用发现者的名字命名的，他们分别是是法国物理学家安德烈• M•安培、意大利物理学家阿勒森德罗•伏特、苏格兰工程师兼发明家詹姆士•瓦特。

今天我们都喝用巴氏灭菌法消毒的牛奶，这种奶即清又纯。

巴氏灭菌法便得名于法国医生路易斯•巴斯德，是他发明了消毒牛奶的制作方法。

在英语中像这样的词有许多象声词代表它们模仿的事物或行为的声音。

现举例如下：嗡嗡滴答砰砰咕哝喳喳嚎啕扑通啪啪嘀咕咯咯嘤嘤呼哧对于上述单词无需再作任何解释，因为它们不言自明。

或许你还可以想出更多类似的单词来。

接下来是新造的词。

讲英语的人总是根据需要创造词汇，而且每天仍在这样做。

一种新造的词是由另外两个词构成的。

字典里将这种词称为复合词。

如果把“玩耍”和“物品”放在一起，我们就可以得到复合词“玩具”。

你还能为下表添加多少类似的词呢？雨衣奶昔楼上停顿前灯关闭帆船楼下收入标题除了把两个词放在一起之外，我们还可以给单词添加一些成分，即前缀和后缀。

泛读第三册unit 3 bursting the magic bubble课文翻译Bursting the magic bubble打破魔术的气泡人们首先感到的是震惊，略带点不信任。

接下来的一刻是惊叹。

然后，一阵很大的骚乱扭曲了大家的理智，你已经上当了。

你无法抗拒一个好的魔术的影响。

从Houdini的惊天逃生和DerronBrown虚幻的精神欺骗，再到儿童聚会上的魔术表演，无人能抵抗魔术的魅力。

“魔术由来已久，并与时俱进。

”来自Hertfordshire大学的心理学教授Richard Wiseman说，“一个魔术结束时，你在看的大都是一些专业技术效果。

我想心理学家们从这点可以学到很多。

”但是，心理学家并不满足于欣赏魔术，现在正利用魔术对心智的影响揭秘我们如何处理涌入大脑的感官信息的洪流，以及如何将其加工成属于现实世界而又来自精神世界的画面。

魔术是一种欺骗，是对精神世界中有序画面的扰乱——物体好像漂浮在半空中，硬币或者纸牌在眼前消失。

如今科学家们相信，通过详细描绘出我们的心智是如何被欺骗的，甚至可以解开意识本身的一些奥秘。

“在过去的5年里，当我们看到诸如对变化视而不见之类的事情以及又一事实，即意识来自真实的构建，也甚至可以来自错觉的误导时，我们做了反省。

”身为技艺精湛的魔术师并为MagicCircle（魔术圈）成员的Wiseman说，“现今人们意识到了魔术师做的事非常特别.一些现代心理学的创始人曾对魔术师颇有兴趣：在19世纪90年代，现代IQ 测试的发明者AlfredBinet和Max Dessoir记录了关于魔术师们如何利用暗示和注意力转移让那些错觉发挥作用的方式。

1986年，JosephJastow在《科学》杂志上发表了关于当时大魔术师们的一些魔术使用的手法的文章。

但这些文章只是描述了魔术师所做的，无力解释为什么魔术会对观众产生这样的影响。

结果，人们对研究魔术中的心理学的兴趣消失了近一个世纪。

Unit1. The ability to predict what the writer is going/ about/ trying to say next is both an aid to understanding and a sign of it.A prediction begins from the moment you read the title and from expectations of what he book is likely to contain. Even if the expectations/predictions are contradicted, they are useful because they have started you thinking about the topic and made you actively involved.If you formulate your predictions as questions which you think the text may answer，you are preparing yourself to read for a purpose：to see which of your questions are in fact dealt with and what answers are offered. If your reading is more purposeful you are likely to understand better.Naturally your predictions/expectations will not always be correct。

This does not matter at all as long as you recognize when they are wrong，and why. In fact mistaken predictions can tell you the source of misunderstanding and help you to avoid certain false assumptions。
