12、0分)A Heres 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 CCTVs Spring Festival Gala.

14、teraction with his audiences.

15、” Liu said. Liu Qians 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 Taiwans Youth Magic Contest，which was judged by the great American magician，David Copper field. Yet，Liu never pla

16、nned 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.

20、little more courtesy could save businesses 5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase “thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise，researchers say. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs，saving on the cost of

21、finding replacements.

22、elves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.

31、ny specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value.
