Thats what American friends are sure to you when you ar-rive."You must see Boston, visit Niagara Falls, go to Virginia, fly down to Florida, and so on;but first, of course, you will want to see New York.It is not the capital city of the United States( that is Washington, D.C. where the President lives) or even the capital city of New York State(that is Albany), but many people call it the greatest city on earth."

Jessamine is a calligrapher(書法家) and she has, over the years, printed out the history of her town by printing up wedding and death announcements, invitations and menus． Now she has another ability--she finds herself forced to print out such calligraphy of events before they happen．
She knows this is a precious and dangerous gift． She persuades a man in town to accept the love af-fair between his daughter and a young man whom he dislikes because Jessamine has already printed the wedding announcement． Her relationship with Callie, that young woman, is a wonderful inter-generational friendship． When Jessamine prints her own death notice, she deals with it as wisely as she has dealt with all the rest．
The story of Jessamine is only 51 pages long and, as such, there isn t much difficulty for less able readers． Meanwhile, the idea that one can use a magic(魔法) power to do good secretly is such an intriguing idea that more able readers will also be drawn to the book．
Readers might be willing to read the book closely to see how DeFelice, the writer of the story,managed to describe such a complex(復雜的) person in so few pages and do it so skilfully． There are times when the passages come close to poetry and students might like to read particular selec-tions aloud． For example, when Jessamine learns that Callie will not win the scholarship which could give her a fresh start in life, the way she gives Callie the strength to accept the disappoint- ment and yet gain self-respect is worth examining．
24． What probably is the text?
A． A short story．
B． A news report．
C． A book review．
D． A public notice．
25． What is Jessamine s special ability?
A． Making people fall in love．
B． Staying away from dangers．
C． Turning dreams into reality．
D． Knowing events in advance．
26． What does the word "intriguing" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A． Exciting．
B． Interesting．
C． Practical．
D． Valuable．
27． What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A． Students reading habits．
B． The knowledge of poetry．
C． DeFelice s skilful use of language．
D． The friendship between Jessamine and Callie．

why can you look at an object in the real world and see it as a three-dimensional(三維的)object, but if you see that same object on a television, it looks flat? what s going on, and how does 3-D technology get around the problem?
It all has to do with the way we see objects． When the light that travels to an object is sent bacck to our eyes, our brains understand the light and make up a picture in our minds． When an ob-ject is far away, the light travelling to one eye is parallel(平行的) with the light travelling to the other eye． But as an object gets closer, the lines are no longer parailel--they move toward the same point where they join． You can see this effect if you try to look at something fight in front of your nose--you ll get a lovely cross-eyed expression．
when you look at an object, your brain measures the effort your eyes make to focus on the object as well as how much they had to gather the light to the same point． Together, this informa-tion allows you to guess how far away the object is． If your eyes had to gather the light with quite a big effort, then it stands to reason that the object is close to you．
The secret to 3-D television and films is that by wearing a special pair of glasses and by show-ing each eye the same picture in two different places, you can make your brain think that the flat picture you re seeing has depth． But this actually doesn t match up the way we see real objects．
While your eyes may gather two images(形象) that seem to be one object right in front of you,they re actually focusing on pictures further away． This is why your eyes get very tired if you try to watch too many 3-D movies in one sitting．
28． What makes us see an object in the real world as three-dimensional?
A． The shape of the object．
B． The way our eyes work．
C． The area the object covers．
D． The sharpness of our mind．
29． How does our brain judge the distance between us and an object?
A． By the effort our eyes make to focus．
B． By the speed at which the object moves．
C． By the time it takes us to touch the object．
D． By the brightness of the light our eyes receive．
30． Why do our eyes get tired if we watch 3-D movies for too long?
A． The 3-D movies usually have too many images．
B． The special glasses are not comfortable to wear．
C． Were not used to seeing things as three-dimensional．
D． Our eyes have to focus harder when seeing 3-D movies．
