三、阅读下列短文,从每小题的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Last weekend, I went to a magic show with my friends. The magician was amazing, and he did a lot of cool tricks (把戏). But the one that impressed me the most was about numbers.
He asked a volunteer to pick a three-digit（数位）number. The volunteer said 345. Then the magician told the volunteer to reverse the number and it became 543. Next, he asked the volunteer to subtract（减）the smaller number from the larger one: 543 - 345 = 198. After that, the magician asked the volunteer to reverse the result, getting 891, and then add these two numbers: 198 + 891 = 1089.
The magician said he knew the answer without seeing the calculation（计算）. We were all surprised. He explained that no matter which three-digit number you start with (as long as the first and the last digits are different), the final result will always be 1089.
It was so interesting! I realized that numbers can be full of magic and surprises. This experience made me love maths more.
