“Wanted by the FBI.”To the murderer,or the bank robber,these are the most frightening words in the world.When the criminal hears them,he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.
Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide,and forests and deserts,as well.Besides,he’s usually rich with stolen money.
Money can make it easier to hide.With money,the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize.But the criminals know that as public enemies,they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide.
They know every trick the criminal knows and many more.If he makes just one mistake,they’ll get him.That’s why the man who is wanted can’t sleep.That’s why he becomes nervous,why he jumps at every sound.
The FBI began on May 10th,1924.General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover,a young lawyer,to head the new agency.“What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,”he said.“Criminals today are smart.They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways.They have learned to open any lock,using advanced technology.We can’t beat them with old methods.We have to train officers to work scientifically.”
Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans.He picked his men carefully.They had to be between the ages of twenty--five and thirty five.He wanted only men with good manners and good character.When working as his officers,they would have to meet all kinds of people.Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun.But the FBI cannot help in every police problem.It can look into only certain crimes against the government.Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.
60.A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is .
A.not at all useful. B.very helpful for a while
C.necessary for staying free D.important and useful
61.Before he worked with the FBI,Edgar Hoover was a .

A Child Who Could Not See, Hear, Or Speak
For the first nineteen months of her life, Helen Keller was like other pretty happy babies in every way. Then a sudden illness destroyed her sight and hearing. Because she could not hear what other people were saying, the child could not learn to speak. For the next seven years, she lived in a world of darkness, without sounds or words.
The person who changed Helen’s world was her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who entered her life on March 3, 1887. Miss Sullivan had accepted a job a blind child who had never learned to act like a human being, because no one had ever been able to guide her in any way. No one could control Helen. She acted like a young animal, rushing wildly around, throwing things, and hitting anyone whom she could reach. Who could believe that such a child could be taught?
But Anne Sullivan was a very special kind of teacher. She had been blind during part of her own childhood and had learned to read Braille, system of writing that uses raised dots which can be felt by the fingers of a blind person. She had learned to see again after several operations, but she had never forgotten the experience of being blind.
Miss Sullivan understood Helen. She loved her and believed she could teach her. Anne Sullivan could not teach Helen Keller to speak until some other important things had been learned. The little girl had to learn to control her actions and feelings. She had to learn that she could not always do what she wished to do. She had always been able to get what she wanted by using force. The teacher had to change such habits without breaking the child’s spirit.
Miss Sullivan’s battle began. Sometimes, there was real fighting between the wild child and the strong young teacher. At last, however, the battle was won by Miss Sullivan, who had succeeded in showing Helen that she loved her and wanted to help her. The child and her teacher became friends. They continued to be friends until the teacher’s death, fifty year later.
The day on which Helen finally accepted Miss Sullivan as her friend and teacher was a great day in Helen’s life. After that, the teacher could begin to teach the child language.

D. could not hear anyone speak
2. , Sullivan believed she could teach Helen.

3.Helen and so she could neither hear nor learn to speak.
A. lost her hearing at an early age
B. had disease with her ears and tongue
C. lost her ability in hearing and speaking
D. did not know any words
4.The most important thing for Helen was that she should learn .
