Thats what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years agoPeople pay restaurant bills with their bank card，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a traceAnd because of this，Im able to track them down even when they dont want to be foundThe first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighbourhood where he used to liveIts human nature to tell storieswhich is why neighbours will tell me all they know when I ring at their housesSometimes，someone even talks about his friends dishonestyThen I produce a pattern of my subjects 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(资产)When Ive got this life pattern，I start my researchNine times out of l0，I find the people Im looking forI 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 supplierI found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same productIt was a11 done within the lawThere was no money to be got from that operationHowever, 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 wouldnt be back for a whileIt didnt take me long to find out that the father wasnt 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 sports in a beautiful mountain areaHe was 1iving in a big house on a 1arge piece of land he had bought for 400，000This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for56We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who_.Afollows people reports on what they do Bhelps people start businesses Cgives advice to people about the law Dsettles arguments between companies57Why does the author visit the place where his subject used to stay？ ATo find out hi hidden assets BTo gather information about him CTo discover why he is dishonest DTo find out where he spends his holiday58The lorry supplier moved his assets to his son in order to_ Apass on his debt to his son Bdouble the business of his company Cle this son take over his lorry business Dprevent paying back the money he owed59We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might_. Abring charges against the lorry suppliers son Bgive up hope of settling the debt Csell the big house in Bulgaria Dget his money backBAll of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?Sometimes, I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come.Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in pleasant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless prospect. So we go about our little task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.The same attitude, I am afraid, falls on the use of our abilities and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered loss of sight of hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill. It is the same old story of not being grateful without missing. 60. When reading the thrilling stories, we usually _. A. have curiosity about the heros limited life B. show great interest in our own livesC. find many regrets in reviewing the past D. have mercy on the doomed man61. From the passage, we can learn that _. A. the author thinks it would be excellent to live if he should die the next dayB. the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and sensesC. each of us should treasure what we have possessed todayD. many of us are able to make full use of our time62. The underlined word “hazily” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. happilyB. unclearly C. freely D. enthusiastically63. The best title for this passage may probably be _.A. Not Being Grateful without Missing B. Giving a Hand to the DisabledC. Making Use of Abilities and Senses D. Learning from Thrilling Stories CThe Philippines expects that some 110,000 South Korean students will travel to the country in 2020, mainly to attend English language lessons, the Philippines Daily Inquirer has reported.Head of Philippine Department of Tourism Team Korea, Maricon Basco Ebron, made the assessment at the recently concluded Korea Student Fair 2020, which attracted 30,000 South Korean students, all seriously planning to study abroad. In that event alone, around 8,000 students were booked by 14 Philippine-based schools.According to Ebron, the estimated figure was based on actual figures recorded by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration in the past. The number of students would account for about 15 to 17 percent of the total visitors expected from South Korean in 2020. “Yet, that percentage is quite conservative since it does not include students with alien resident visas or those young people being brought in by South Korean retirees and businessmen,” Ebron said.While the Philippines is not a native English-speaking country, the cheaper cost of English-based education is a major plus for South Koreans. “Sending a child to the US for one year is equivalent to sending a child to the Philippines for two years-plus the mom,” Ebron said, referring to the fact South Korean parents could easily come the Philippines to check on their children. Oh Hyun-Sook, who works with the Philippine tourism office in Seoul, estimated the cost of South Korean university education at $4,000 per semester, or roughly four times the tuition for the same period in a major university in Metro Manila. Meanwhile, many South Koreans enroll in short-term English as Second Language courses or study for the TOFL in the Philippines as preparation for further education in another country. Younger students come in for language camps, typically two-month courses during their summer or winter break.According to Oh Hyun-Sook, children as young as five years old are sent abroad, both “to study the English language and to experience a different culture”. “Its a fact that when you have English language skills, youre more competitive, whether you work in Seoul or abroad,” Oh Hyun-Sook added.64.In 2020, about _ South Korean visitors will travel to The Philippines.A. 650,000B. 110,000C.30,000D. 38,00065.The passage mainly tells us that_.A. the Philippines is the first choice for many South Koreans to study English abroadB. it costs South Koreans less money to study in the PhilippinesC. South Korean students are welcome to study English in the PhilippinesD. studying English in the Philippines helps South Korean students a lot66.This passage is probably taken from _. A. an educational documentB. a newspaperC. a government reportD. a travel magazineDThe teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teachers belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him. The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again. The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first. A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till youve found a place to settle in, sir.Good
