　　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.

　　The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

　　In order to help customers find what they want quickly, it’s important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly. This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.

　　Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:

　　1.New Releases Wall.

　　2.Film library.

　　3.Video Games.

　　New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.

　　Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:

　　AC Action DR Drama HO Horror

　　CH Children FA Family MU Music

　　CO Comedy FL Foreign Language SC SCIENCE Fiction

　　Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.

　　Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory***庫存***, they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.

　　28. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?

　　A. The readers in the store.

　　B. The manager of the store.

　　C. The customers in the store.

　　D. The salespersons of the store.

　　29. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?

　　A. From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.

　　B. From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.

　　C. From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.

　　D. From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.

　　30. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?

　　A. Because they’ve been sold out.

　　B. Because they’re in the storehouse.

　　C. Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.

　　D. Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.

　　31. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?

　　A. Check the computer.

　　B. Look at the back of the box.

　　C. Check the center section.

　　D. Watch a few minutes of the film.

　　The Enigma ***謎***of Beauty

　　The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs ***假髮***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 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? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very 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 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, the 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 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 varies 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 be 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. People's ideas about beauty ________.

　　A. have existed since ancient times

　　B. can be easily described

　　C. have little influence on a person's success

　　D. are based upon strict criteria

　　33. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________.

　　A. were rated for their appearance

　　B. were entered in a beauty contest

　　C. were shown photos of a group of college students

　　D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones

　　34. The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

　　A. qualities B. measurements C. judgments D. standards
