The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine(女主角) in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?” “No, sir,” the men answered.

The director was angry.

“Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don't you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it'll look like a sunset.”

“That's a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the 'sunset' behind them.”

The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

1.One evening, the director sent his camera crew out ______.

A.to film a scene on the sea B.to try to please the audience

C.to watch a beautiful sunset D.to find an actor and an actress

2.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?

A.Because he was angry with his crew. B.Because it was his secretary's suggestion.

C.Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset. D.Because he wanted to fire his foolish crew.

3.After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______.

A.as he was satisfied with what the crew filmed

B.as he saw everything in the film moving backwards

C.as the hero's and heroine's performance disappointed him

D.as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined

12 p.m. — Kintamani, a favourite with tourists for the panoramic (全景的) view of active volcano Mt. Batur and adjoining crater lake.

I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.

When we arrived at Haleakala National Park we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.

Nearly another one hour later “Amazing!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive（印象深刻的）sunrise in my life. However waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.

Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.

1.When did they see the first light of the sunrise?

A.About 3 o’clock. B.About 4 o’clock.

C.Nearly 5 o’clock. D.Nearly 6 o’clock.

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph two?

A.Total. B.Cold.

C.Terrible. D.Interesting.

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?

A.Excited all the time. B.Afraid all the time.

C.Firstly excited then afraid. D.Firstly excited then impatient.

4.What does the author want to tell us by this passage?

A.Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.

B.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.

C.I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life.

D.My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.
