Every person leaves a footprint.That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago.People pay restaurant bills with their bank cards,check into hotels or travel around. In every case,they leave a trace.And because of this,I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found.
The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he used to live。It’s human nature to tell stories which is why neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses.Sometimes,someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty.Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life:if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy, if he prefers two-or-three-star hotels and where he might hide his assets.When I’ve got this life pattern,I start my research.
Nine times out of 10,I find the people I'm looking for.I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed£500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商)。The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son,who founded a new company offering the same product.It was all done within the law.There was no money to be got from that operation.
However, I asked the son If I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while.It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain.
I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria, and I found him doing winter sport‘s in a beautiful mountain area.He was living in a big house on a large piece of land he had bought for£400,000.This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for.
68.We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who .
A.follows people and reports on what they do
B.helps people start business
C.gives advice to people about the law
D.settles arguments between businesses or companies
69.The underlined word “assets”(in paragraph 2)most probably means .
A.houses B.family C.identity D.possessions
70.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?
A.The author visits the place where his subject used to live in order to find out why he is dishonest.
B.It’s human nature to share some trouble with others
C.The author usually tracks someone’s bank card first if he wants to find out where the man is staying.
D.The lorry supplier moved his asset’s to his son in order to prevent paying back the money he owed.
71.We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might
A.bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son
B.give up hope of settling the debt
C.get his money back
D.sell the big house in Bulgaria

My topic is fashion(时装). Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over $600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.
However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.
We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.
53. The passage may be ____.
A. a story from a magazine B. a piece of news from a newspaper
C. a report on the radio D. a speech to the classmates
54. The author (作者)showed all these objects EXCEPT_____ in the passage.
A. the blonde wig B. the expensive blouse
C. the coolest trousers D. the school uniform
55. What does the author (作者)want to tell us in last paragraph?
A. Wigs were always popular
B. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigs
C. Fashion is actually a business
D. Business often depends on the production of wigs.

Two sisters from Georgia 24 from the crowd in my mind---they put their money together to give to “My sister’s House”, a 25 that helps battered(受虐的) women and children.
