Look at the centre circles of Diagram (图)A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger? In fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces？Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.
“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret（解读）the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion(视觉错误)”.
Movie makers often make use of visual illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of visual illusions.

Look at the diagram. It ________ ________ ________something of home computer used by a group of young people. We asked thirty young people between fourteen and eighteen. We asked them how much ________ they usually spent on their computers in a week, but we were most interested in they used their computers for.
The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.
All the children said they usually used computers________ ________ . Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字处理) ________________ . Only two of them said computers helped with their lessons, and eight people told us they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers or used ________ as diaries. Only three people said they were learning to make computer programmes and nobody looked up databases(数据库). None of them used computers for any ________ use.
The results show that computer use is quite high among 14～18 year old. They also show quite clearly that computers by most young people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and address lists. Though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.

Dear Died,
Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. But as I chose add read, and chose add read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad，and you and I will have had 56 Father’s Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn’t realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.
Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we’ll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, dad … I don't like carrots.... but I like planting them with you.
I guess what am trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home, money or shares a dinner. It’s more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone. It's about sharing. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.
Lover,
Jenny

Look at a map of Spain and point at the center. You will locate the country’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. This popular destination is considered a city with its historic sites and modern skyscrapers（摩天大厦）.
History
This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some considered it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.
Inside the Royal Palace, 2800 rooms are decorated in glory with furniture and artwork. Tourists can visit fifty of these large and splendid rooms
Art
The internationally known Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Founded in 1819, it is filled with works of art that featured the Spanish paintings
Shopping
Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping malls, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as EI Rastro where they find everything from antiques（古董） to CDs.
Entertainment
No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters.
Food
Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish usually eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a bar where snacks are served. Be sure to try the special ham--Spain is famous for it.
