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.

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.
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
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
B. accuse
C. ask as a price
D. claim
B. greedy
C. professional
D. busy
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.

"Kim." Began Bill Williams."I am very pleased with the quality of your work. I have nothing but praise for
your devotion and your hard work. My only concern is that you are not active enough in putting forward your
suggestions."
"But," replied Kim."I have always completed every assignment you have given me. Mr. Williams."
"I know that, Kim. And please, call me Bill. But what I expect is for you to think independently and
introduce new ideas. I need more input from you-more feedback on how things are going. I don"t need a"yes
man". You never tell me what you think. You just smile as though everything is fine."
"But," said Kim. "I feel that since you are my superior, it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to
do."
"I"m not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we could do. To make suggestions. I
employed you because I respect your experience in this field, but you are not communicating your thoughts to
me."
"Yes, I see. I"m not accustomed to this, but I will try to do as you say. Bill."
"Good, then, I expect to hear more from you at staff meetings or at any other time you want to discuss an
idea with me." "Yes, of course. Thank you, Mr. Will… Bill." 。
