I knew Marty's magic was fake (假的), but I just couldn't prove it. One day I caught a lucky break. At lunch, Marty was going on about how he could make things 1 . He had a ring in one hand and a pencil in the other.
That's when I 2 it: a thin piece of fishing line around the end of the pencil and attached (连接) to Marty's shirt! Sure enough, he made it by sliding (滑动) the ring over the pencil and hanging it from the line. No one else 3 the line, and soon the whole dining hall was cheering. When the crowds were gone, I walked over. It was time to 4 the Magic Marty show.
"I know how you did it," I said, looking him right in the eye. "5 ," Marty replied. "But the first law of magic is that…"
"It was the fishing line. "
Marty became 6 . He looked a bit worried. Without all his confidence, he seemed more normal (平常). I suddenly felt bad.
"So, are you going to tell other people?" he asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I did, I would 7 be able to prove that Marty's magic was fake. But would that really make me feel happy? What about Marty? He might 8 his new friends. How would that make him feel?
"Nah," I said. "It will be a 9 between you and me. "
Marty let out a relieved sigh, and I turned to walk away.
"Wait!" Marty jumped in front of me. "You've got a pretty good eye for magic. If you' re 10 , I have an idea. "
That's how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began.
