LIU Qian is a *magician from Taiwan. For the CCTV Spring Festival *Gala he put on two *magic shows. They were very successful. Now many people are mad about magic. We all want to know how to do a *trick!

Liu was a shy boy who was born in 1976. When Liu was 7, he saw a coin trick in a big store. At that moment Liu decided to learn magic. But he didn't go to any magic school. He learned all by himself. He worked really hard at it and he practiced hard to improve his skills. He spent lots of time studying how to play tricks. When he was 8 years old, he could do coin and card tricks really well. Then one day he was able to put on a show for his class. The tricks looked so difficult to his classmates, but Liu thought they didn't need many skills. Once he did one for his classmates. They were so surprised that they didn’t believe it! And then Liu told them how to do the trick. After that, all his classmates spoke highly of him. They all think he was so great. At the age of 12, Liu won an international prize for tricks. This is his first prize for magic. As a super magician, Liu still practices hard today. He may spend three years working on a new show. He wrote a book about tricks and it is one of the best sellers in China.

Lunch Made of Love

In those poor times, many of my classmates couldn’t bring a nice meal to school for lunch. My deskmate’s meal was always cabbages, while 66  （我的）was ham and fried eggs. Sometimes, my deskmate would first pick the hair out of his lunch and then eat it as if   67 （没事）had happened. This continued for a long time.

“His mother is so lousy（邋遢的）that her hair drops in the meal, ”my classmates said. I  68  （想）it was really dirty, but I couldn’t show that because I didn’t want to hurt（伤害）his feelings. Still, I started to think that he was   69 （肮脏）, too.

One day after school, he called me and said, “Would you like to come to my house if you are  70 

（有空）? ”

Though I didn’t want to go, I knew it would be impolite to refuse because this was his first invitation. Following my friend, we   71  （到达）at a poor village.

“Mom, I brought my friend home. ”

His old mother opened the   72 （门）, “My son’s friend is here. Let me have a look. ”But to my

  73 （惊讶）, his mother was blind. She couldn’t see anything.

I felt sad. Now I understood why my deskmate’s lunch had hair in it. His mother got ready for it

  74  （仔细）for him every day, even though she was blind. It was not only a lunch, but also a   75  

（母亲）love.
