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 no
t?” 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 cam
era 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 give 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.”

Best time to visit is during the off-season, from early May to mid-June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.
Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world-famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.
Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.
小题1:According to the passage, The Pines is a ________.
| A．place in which you can see many mobile homes |
| B．mountain where you can get a good view of the valley |
| C．town which happens to be near the Banff National park |
| D．restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food |
| A．They may have trouble finding a restaurant. |
| B．They may come across traffic jams. |
| C．They may travel more easily with cars. |
| D．They may do much more sightseeing. |
| A．the Banff National Park is to the west of Banff |
| B．the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National Park |
| C．the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 years |
| D．the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s |
A. taking the Jasper Skytram and eating in the restaurant
B. taking the Banff-Jasper loop and Jasper Skytram
Beyond the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happened to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified (澄清、阐明) to oneself. When the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration of another reader, the method of the journal redirects itself and it becomes the essay.

| A．The journalist can express what has happened. |
| B．A journal can serve as a record of the past happening. |
| C．The journalist must be able to observe closely. |
| D．Writing helps develop the consideration of others. |
| A．how to write a journal |
| B．the expressions of a journal |
| C．the values of keeping a journal |
| D．how to solve the problems in a journal |
When Andra Rush started her trucking company, all she had was an old van，two used pick-up trucks and the simple certainty of a 23-year-old girl. But she planned to make her fortune in about four years to 36 her true goal: dealing with poverty on Native American reservations across North America. "I thought I could retire by the time I was 27," says Rush, "At that age, you don"t know 37 you don"t know."

Rush was 41 30 miles outside Detroit. When the teenage Rush visited the reservation for the first time, she was 42 by the poverty and lack of hope. "I really wanted to 43 " she says.
She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1982. She took a nursing job with a 44 pay and then practiced at an air goods company, 45 the speed of package pickups
and deliveries made a little more a little more profits. "I thought I could do that 46 ," Rush says.Within six months, Rush had ten employees, and clients(客户) 47 Ford and GM were paying her to 48 small packages from the airport. Ford was the first to offer her a job trucking parts between its plants and supplier.
By 2001, many of Rush"s 1,000 employees were Native Americans, working alongside people of every 49 But she felt she hadn"t done enough. 50 she joined forces with a Canadian parts maker to design and gather auto components.
She located the plants near reservations, 51 opportunities where they were needed most. By 2009, her auto parts business was earning $370 million 52 .
She"s come a long way from the 53 23-year-old who thought "the cash would just roll in." But Rush wouldn"t change a thing: "I love my job," she says. "I 54 the fact that you can start to get some motivation and keep 55 yourself—and then suddenly you lift your head and it"s been 25 years"
