题目列表(包括答案和解析)

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye 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,“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.

  It’s eleven o’clock, and Mr.Sims has just asked the class to pay attention for the fiftieth time while he explained a math problem.Carson Webster is sitting over by the window trying to listen to the teacher, but his mind is not on the problem Mr.Sims is discussing.Carson’s mind is on a little mouse named Millie that is busily moving around in his pocket.Millie is not very happy.At breakfast, she had climbed into Carson’s pocket and gone to sleep while Carson ate two pieces of bread and read the newspaper.Carson had forgotten Millie was there until he was halfway in class.Now that Millie’s morning sleep was over, she was ready to exercise.Lucky for Carson, Millie was in a pocket with a button or he might be in serious trouble.

  “Carson?”Mr.Sims, who was usually rather strict with his students, was suddenly looking at Carson with his eyes wide open, rolling his stick in his hand.Carson had to pay attention.

  “Could you please repeat the question?”said Carson, feeling his pocket.

  “I asked if you would agree with the statement,”said Mr.Sims pleasantly.

  “Well, I’m not really attentive at the moment,”said Carson.“I think I would need to give it more consideration.”Carson did not have the slightest idea as to what Mr.Sims was talking about.

  “I see,”said Mr.Sims seriously,“Then I guess you’re uncertain about whether the product of zero by any other number is always zero?”

  “Oh, I know that,” said Carson, who could feel himself turning red as a couple of kids including Bob began to laugh.He knew his punishment would come soon.To his surprise, however, the teacher didn’t seem angry.

  “I’m so glad,”said Mr.Sims, turning back to the blackboard.“Oh, and by the way, Carson,”he continued, “I think a cage would be a healthier place for your little friend.Would you agree with that statement?”Just at that time, Millie let out a weak but clear cry and stuck her head out of Carson’s pocket.

  “Yes,”Carson said with a smile.“I would totally agree with that statement!”
