阅读理解。    When a close friend dies, it often forces you to consider your own death. The more you have in common
with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say
to yourself, "It could just as easily have been me." Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is,
and it may cause you to reassess (重新评价) the direction of your own life. 　　
    Jack"s story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didn"t spend as
much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one
of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his
daughter"s eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old. 　　
    Not long after his friend"s death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up.
He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death of his friend. Jack
thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friend"s family to manage
after he passed away. 　　
    Jack realized that he didn"t want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife and
children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he started a simple
life. Now he is running a small art gallery (画廊). He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his
life. And he has got no more chest pain. 1. Your close friend"s death is _____ to you. [     ]
A. a warning 　　　　　　　　　　
B. common 　　
C. a direction of life 　　　　　
D. an example 2. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means "_____". [     ]

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 audience 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 camera team 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," one of the men answered, "we are 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 team and said, "Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
    The camera team 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 team to stop.
    The birds in the film were flying backwards away from the beach. 1. One evening, the director sent his camera team out _____. [     ]

B. to find an actor and an actress

B. If you want to see a sunrise, the east coast is a place to go to.
C. The camera team wasn"t able to film the scene the first day.

Still some hands were lifted up. He asked again, "Well, how could it be if I do it like this?" he threw the bill onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled. "Who still wants it?" Still a few people put up their hands. "My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down (击垮) or even broken into pieces by your determination or unfavorable situations.
