解析

文章讲的是镜子的产生及其它发展的过程，并讲到了镜子的作用。
1. B 从you do everything backward(相反地)in the mirror可知你做的动作与你的镜子里看到是相反的，所以你wave your right hand看到的就是your left hand wave，选B。
2. A 细节题的考查。从Mirrors have been used for thousands of years可知镜子很久前就出现了，选A。从The earliest were round pieces of shiny metal可知B答案错误，不是开始时镜子就是玻璃做的；C答案也错误，现在流行的镜子是玻璃做的；而从They did not understand how it worked知道古代人们并不知道镜子如何发生作用，故D也错，选A。
3. A 我们可以定位到第二段，从下面They thought they saw their spirits in a mirror可知这就是他们认为的原因，故选A。
4. D 首先找到这个单词的位置在最后一段，再看后面make people seem short and round or tall and tin可知让高的变成矮的，故是弯曲变形的意思，选D。
