33、ero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent the 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. “W
34、hy 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 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
35、get one.” But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “ and then play it backwards? Then it will 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 beau
36、tiful 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 oclock they took it to the director. “Here it is, Sir,” they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the st
37、udio. “All right,” the director said, “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.

42、hero and the heroine C Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school. Its worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was
43、 to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond ones o
44、wn community. Reading them was a social act as well as individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry had a place in everyday life. How did things change? Why are mos
45、t Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者 ): poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surroun
46、ding the poem has betrayed (背叛 ) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions hostile(不 利的 ) to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other d
47、ifficult-to-read things belonged. Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the craft(技巧 ) of a poem, and they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school student
48、s is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles. 64. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _. A. it built a link among people B. it helped unite a community C. it was a source of self-education D. it was a source of pleasure 65. The underlined word “diversion” most probably means _. A. information
