20、 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, “were on the east c
21、oast 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 dont you photograph a sun
22、rise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.” “Thats 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 film

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say
24、 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 awa

28、k as beautiful as he had imaginedD. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroineCI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand the issue, le
29、ts take a look at three types ofwaits.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full.
30、During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly p
31、reparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specific. Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer(炖）three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes.I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all,Forced Waiting requires pa
32、tience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a waiting
33、game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesnt come to rely on it,wishing for a few good things to happen
34、 never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,dont be desperate.Youre probably just as busy as the next guy.28.
35、While doing a Watched-Pot Wait,we tend toA.keep ourselves busyB.get absent-mindedC.grow anxiousD.stay focused29.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs dir
36、ections.D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.30.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B.It doesnt always bring the desired result.C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesnt give people faith and hope.31.The author supports his

Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show
38、both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to
39、 be attractive：beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? Its difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very
40、 early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that
41、even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, th
42、e mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations mostly cultural, says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist
43、 at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin. But is this perfect body type for women worldwide? Scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and var
44、ies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to b
45、e certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.32. Peoples ideas about beauty _.A. have existed since ancient timesB. can be easily describedC
46、. have little influence on a persons successD. are based upon strict criteria33. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study _.A. were rated for their appearanceB. were entered in a beauty contestC. were shown photos of a group of college studentsD. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive o

We can learn from the passage that _.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are based
