⑤If the Spring Festival is a reunion that brings together a population as large as the Chinese people, then the Spring Festival Gala is a joyful and moving event at a specific juncture that inspires people to create the future with their own hands and inspires them to strive for the future. Despite the difficulties and challenges ahead, we are always inspired by this spiritual power. Such a national spirit has been fully manifested in the Spring Festival Gala.
如果说春节是用团圆的方式，把中华民族如此庞大规模的人口凝聚在一起，春晚则是以欢乐和感动，在特定的节点上鼓舞人们用双手开创未来，激发一往无前的奋斗豪情。尽管未来仍然会面临困难和挑战，但是这种精神力量始终激励着我们。春晚，就集中体现着这种民族精神。

阅读理解：The magician ( 魔术师 ) usually depends on his skill with his hands and on his knowledge of psychology ( 心理学 ). Since magic tricks are meant to fool people the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movement of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the people to draw false conclusions.

The people are too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.
Another favorite trick is to cut or burn something and then make it appear again.
