12、for him.The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with the sunset?” “No, sir.” The men answered.The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get a sunrise over the sea, if neces
13、sary, 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 dont you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards?

14、“Thats a good idea!” the director said.

20、pointed with the performance of the hero and heroineC3 页It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents, to have a provider, or to be as
21、sured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relatives home where she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first
22、 place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over.

No matter what it is, one thing about child-raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.29It can be concluded from the passage that_.A. women today have developed a new role in family lifeB. the birthrate is declining as a result of womens purs
27、uit (追求) of careersC. women have always been dependent on their parents even after marriageD. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound30The change in womens attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT _.A. more and more women quit (leave) jo
