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 film a scene on the seaB．to find an actor and an actressC．to watch a beautiful sunsetD．to meet the audience2．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 he wanted to get a scene of sunset.D．Because it was his secretary’s suggestion.3．The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ________.A．it went well with the separation of the hero and heroineB．when they arrived at the beach，it was already in the eveningC．it was more moving than a sunriseD．the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset4．After the “sunset” began，the director suddenly put his face in his hands ________.A．because he was moved to tearsB．as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC．as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD．because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine5．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice (忠告)．B．If you want to see a sunrise，the east coast is the place to go.C．The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day.D．The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset”．BPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields (战场) or other historic remains (历史遗址)．Others are looking for culture，or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London，Copenhagen (哥本哈根) and Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short，and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean (地中海) has always attracted (吸引) them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacations. They all come for the same reason：sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics (经济) of Mediterranean countries. Ital y’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 millio n people camp out on French beaches，parks，and roadsides. Spai n’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else,37 million tourists there yearly，or one_tourist_for_each_person_living_in_Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these，however，is running anyone’s fun. Obviously (显然地)，they don’t go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is，the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines，it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin，London，or Oslo (奥斯陆)．6．The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that________.A．they want to see historic remainsB．they wish to escape from cold，dark and rainy daysC．they would like to take pictures in front of famous placesD．they are interested in different cultural and social customs7．According to the passage，which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?A．Italy.
