When Carrey found that the police in his community were investigating him for a bank fraud (银行劫案),
he escaped to Thailand. For months police agents and detectives couldn"t find his 1 location-until they 2
his Facebook profile. Private 3 Carrey"s profile was, his list of Facebook friends was not. Using that list,
the police were able to find and 4 him.
5 are the days when the only way to catch a criminal was to 6 "wanted posters" and crime reports.
Now when police want to catch a suspect, they 7 Facebook for clues about the person"s traces. Almost
everyone is getting online and using social networking sites 8 Facebook. They are posting photos of
themselves,
9 the world where they are and what they are doing. Often a suspect has his or her own 10 , with photos
and information that are vital to the catch the criminals. Some police departments are also turning to the
community for help by creating their own Facebook pages. There, officers post photos so that members of the
community can see and 11 them.
Facebook is also helping the victims help themselves. Here 12 the story, when someone stole a truck
from Paul, Paul thought the truck was gone and would never be back. But he posted photos of the truck on
Facebook and asked people to keep an eye open 13 it if they noticed it. The next morning he received a call:
Someone 14 the truck and 15 the police of it. The thief was arrested, and the truck was returned.
Thanks to Facebook, it is making it harder for criminals to 16 their tracks. When criminals are 17 on
Facebook, they are unknowingly leaving 18 for police to follow. And when police and victims spread the
19 about a crime over Facebook, more people can 20 the search. With the right tip, police just might be
able to make an quick arrest. |

Gardner Museum early this morning.
The two burglars (窃贼) knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the two
security guards who were on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made the very
serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two burglars tied
the guards up with tape.
The two men spent about two hours in the museum. During that time, they stole 11 paintings and an
ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt.
A maintenance (保卫) worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police. One of the
greatest losses was Rembrandt"s works, "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee." It was a very popular attraction
at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.
Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact be
much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market for
nearly a century. According to law enforcement officials, this is considered to be the biggest theft ever in
the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for the paintings
or try to sell them to a private collector.
Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others. There
are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.
Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum"s security system. They believe that
this is a "professional job", because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they wanted.
Investigators have already questioned the museum"s guards extensively. They would not give the names
or ages of the guards, but one investigator said the Gardner hires and trains its own security staff. So far,
the guards have not been identified as suspects in the case. An investigator said that anybody having any
information about the robbery should contact the Boston Police Department immediately. | | 1. We can infer from the passage that _____. | A. the security guards didn"t identify the false policemen

D. demanding | | 阅读理解。 | Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I
wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to
activate (激励)them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people
from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours
every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.
The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, "I"d like to know what your dreams are."
Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.
One woman said to me,"I don"t know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids."
"Oh," I said,"That"s terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How
can that be helped?"
"Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door." I asked, "Is there
anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?"
There was a man in the group and he said,"A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have
a terribly bad back, but I"ll try."
I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the
lady"s screen door. "Do you think you can do that?"
"Yes, I"ll try."
The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, "Well, is your screen door fixed?"
"Oh, yes." she said.
"Then we can start dreaming, can"t we?" she sort of smiled at me.
I said to the man who did the work,"How do you feel?"
He said,"Well, you know, it"s very funny thing. I"m beginning to feel a lot better."
That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see
that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really
could happen.
Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks,
I had all those people off public welfare. I"ve not only done that once, I"ve done that in many times. | | 1. What"s the opinion the author had when he took on the work? | A. People need to be activated by others to make a living.
B. Everyone should not have depended on public welfare.
C. Everyone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.
