[单选题]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(男女英雄)in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever.He sent his camera crew(摄制组)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 man 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 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(海湾).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 minute,the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards,and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.
Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?
ABecause he changed his mind about getting a sunset
BBecause he was angry with his crew
CBecause it was his secretary's suggestion
DBecause he wanted to get a scene of sunset
参考答案:D

Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases(短语) for greeting people ;but as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile and nod ,bowing(鞠躬) like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor´ s leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband´ s kindness.
Then finally ,listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I´ m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I´ ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest(抗议,反对) at a leaving-taking.
The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I´ ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off ,since he´ s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That´s very well ,but when I´ m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host ,or both ,insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way ,with my repeating the 'Don´t bother( give the trouble)to see me off' at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me.Better to accept the inevitable( 不可避免的).
Besides ,that´s going against Chinese custom, because haste (doing things quickly)is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? 'Go slowly. 'Not farewell or Godspeed (祝福), but 'Go slowly. '. To the Chinese it means 'Take care' or 'Watch your step' ,or some such caution, but translated literally(照字面地) it means 'Go slowly'.
It is stated dearly that the writer
Ais interested in the Chinese-language textbooks
Bis proud of being able to greet people at the door
Cis unsatisfied with the Chinese-language textbooks
Dis afraid of the standard phrases from the textbooks
参考答案:C
