　　People turn to magic (魔力) chiefly as a form of insurance—that is，they use it along with actions that actually bring results.For example，hunters may use a hunting charm (咒語)．But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of animals.The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they need to hunt even more successfully than they would without it.If they shoot a lot of game (獵物)，they credit the charm for their success.Many events happen naturally without magic.Crops grow without it，and sick people get

　　well without it.But if people use magic to bring a good harvest or to cure a patient，they may believe the magic was responsible.

　　People also tend to forget magic’s failures and to be impressed by its surface successes.They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 per cent of the time.Even when magic fails，people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic.They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician.

　　Many anthropologists (人類學家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it.People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation.For example，farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their fields.But they know that weather，insects，or diseases might ruin the crops.So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensure a good harvest.

　　課時作業答案

　　Ⅰ.單項填空

　　1．B　句意為“人們保持健康最好的方法之一就是養成健康的飲食習慣”。develop在此處意為“形成，養成”。

　　Ⅲ.完形填空

　　【語篇解讀】　

　　本文通過Washington Roebling的故事告訴我們：只要有決心就能獲得成功。

　　21．A　從上文的however和下文可知，其他專家認為這項工程困難太大，不可能完成，故impossible正確。

　　22．C　由上下文可知，John Roebling認為工程是可以完成的，所以不愿放棄，故C項符合文意，此時，應特別注意空前的否定詞not。

　　23．D　由下文可知，父子二人共同開始這項工程，說明John Roebling說服了兒子，只有managed to能表達這一含義。

　　24．B　crew指“(有專門技術的)一組工作人員”，而建設橋梁這樣的工作正需要這樣的人，所以crew為正確答案。其他選項與文意不符。

　　25．C　由下文可知，工程剛開始不久就發生了事故，故after最符合文意。

　　26．A　由下文leaving him brain－damaged and unable to move可知，兒子Washington Roebling傷勢嚴重，故選A。

　　27．D　由下文Washington Roebling用敲打手指的方法來傳遞信息，可知事故使他失去了行走及說話能力，故選D。注意say為及物動詞，要有賓語，因此可以排除。

　　28．B　由文意可知，既然工程的兩位工程師都無法指揮，那么工程應該放棄了，故B項正確。

　　29．A　由上下文可知，兒子Washington身體受到極大創傷，但(精神)沒有被厄運打敗，故defeat正確。

　　30．A　sharp可以用來指人的頭腦、眼睛等敏銳，由上下文可知，Washington身在醫院，但頭腦仍十分敏銳，所以能成功地指揮工人完成橋梁建設。其他選項與文意不符。

　　31．D　由上下文可知，Washington無法走動和說話，但他想到可以用手指來傳遞信息。hit表示“使 (某人) 突然想起”；occur to也可表達此意，但要注意把介詞to丟掉是錯誤的。

　　32．C　由上下文tapping her arm可知，Washington開始用手指輕敲妻子的胳膊來傳遞信息，所以C項正確。

　　33．C　由文意可知，Washington是想“告訴”妻子如何去做，indicating符合此意。

　　34．B　由文意可知，Washington作為橋梁的工程師，“指揮”完成了工程，所以instructions正確。

　　35．C　由上文可知，工程浩大而困難，但最終他們完成了，此處只有eventually能表示此含義。
