阅读理解。     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 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 watch a beautiful sunset
B. to find an actor and an actress
C. to film a scene on the sea
D. to meet the audience 2. Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast? A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.
B. Because he was angry with his crew.
C. Because it was his secretary"s suggestion.
D. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The crew had to follow the secretary"s advice (忠告).

阅读理解。     I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet, I did not know the real American society until I was
injured in a car accident because after the car accident I had to see a doctor-and go to court (法庭).
     After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him
one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good
reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my
injury, I"d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he
had help me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
     But every time I want to see doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at
the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final
examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.
     My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very
well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect
his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
     Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance (保险) company the date
I was leaving American. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.
     My experience taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything.
It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality (道德). Secondly, foreigners are still being
treated unfairly. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.1. The author"s roommate offered to help him because _____. A. he felt sorry for the author
B. he thought it was a chance to make some money
C. he knew the doctor was a very good one
D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer 2. A good doctor is essential for the author to _____. A. to be properly treated
B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. recover before he leave America
D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury 3. The word "charge"in this passage means ______. A. be responsible
B. accuse
C. ask as a price
D. claim 4. Both the doctor and the lawyer in the passage are very _____. A. friendly
B. greedy
C. professional
D. busy 5. What conclusion can you draw from the story? A. Going to court is something very common in America.
B. One must very careful while driving a car.
C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.
D. Money is more important than other things in America.
