W: I haven't quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting past the beginning.
M: How come?
W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn't write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Professor Wilson said it's pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.
M: You went to talk to her about it?
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to keep from getting stalled writing like that. She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that comes into my head even if it doesn't make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.
M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
W: Well, her methods seem to have worked for me. I've written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.
M: You are going shopping? Can't you wait until you finish your story?
W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery, so I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

Detective: What we've learned is the fact that he left the Level One Club which is a drinking club in Neasden Lane about 1: 30 a. m. , and we' re trying to account for movements up till 2:15 because it was about that time he was found by a member of the club, an employee. He was found in the underpass, the pedestrian way, under the North Circular Road. Death was due to multiple head injuries. We understand that there may have been two girls and a man who was drunk in close proximity to the entrance to the subway, who may have seen our man walking in that direction, or any attacker who may have been following him.
Interviewer: About what time would you think that they were there?
Detective: Just after half past one to a quarter to two.
Interviewer: Then in that case the gap you have is really quite short. It's only more or less half an hour or forty minutes.
Detective: In fact, yes, as short as that.
Interviewer: Any idea of what he was wearing?
Detective: Yes, he was wearing, in actual fact, a light-coloured raincoat, grey trousers, black shoes, collar and tie with a metal tie-pin, dark hair, 165cm, fresh complexion.
Interviewer: Is there any speculation that the motive might have been robbery?
Detective: I don't think it is robbery in the circumstances. I'm more inclined to think there was another reason for him to have been attacked.
Interviewer: And how far away from the Neasden underpass was the drinking club?
Detective: Fifty meters.
Interviewer: And at the moment you know of no other people in the area whom you want to talk to, other than the drunk man and the two women who were seen with him or near him at some time?
Detective: Yes. The club closed at half past one and there may have been other people who left the club who went that way. We understand that there were also mini-club drivers parked in the area who may have seen something as well.
Interviewer: As it is, I take it you haven't been able to identify them.
Detective: No, not at this stage.
Interviewer: Well, thank you very much.

M: Three. One waited inside the car and the other two walked over to the shop, carrying large briefcases. Once inside the shop, they made the manager of the shop and his assistant lie down on the floor while they filled the briefcases with jewelry. What they didn't know, however, was that another assistant was in the room at the back of the shop. He had caught sight of the two thieves and has pressed a small alarm bell. At that precise moment, a police patrol car arrived. Then the robbery went over.

Ramos was brilliant, handsome, wealthy, and one of Rio de Janeiro' s (里约热内卢的) beautiful people. At age thirty-six, he was a prominent plastic surgeon who owned two medical clinics. At parties, he met and talked to famous Hollywood movie personalities and sports stars. He seemed to be the perfect example of the good life. But by March of 1982, thirty - six- year old Ramos was found in a Brazilian prison charged with eighteen crimes including armed robbery, drug smuggling and murder.
According to police, Ramos used his personal friendships with wealthy people to prepare for his crimes. He would attend the parties of his friends, inspect their houses carefully for valuables, draw diagrams of their homes, and then send in professional burglars to rob them. His victims were jewel designers, diplomats, and wealthy social figures.
Sometimes Ramos even stole things himself. One of his crimes was stealing an expensive watch from the famous soccer player, Pele. He also sold stolen cars and used two private air planes to smuggle cocaine.
In the fall of 1981, however, the famous plastic surgeon, s double life came apart . He was arrested after an informant told police that Ramos was involved in s series of thefts. Ramos escaped by simply waking out the main door of the Rio de Janeiro police building, but police soon found the body of his personal pilot and accused drug - smuggling partner in an old hotel. Police believed he was murdered for informing them about Ramos. Then Ramos hid with another of his accomplices, who was later found shot to death on an old country road, In less than a month, police managed to find Ramos was hiding in as run- down neighborhood, When he was caught, he had a diamond ring worth over $ 90 000 in his jeans pocket.
In later interviews, Ramos had said he really didn't know he committed the crimes. He had denied the murders, and his lawyers are saying he is insane. Perhaps one reason for Ramos's behavior. can be found in his family history. His grandfather had murdered six members of one family, and his father was accused of killing his mother's lover, but those charges were later dropped. Ramos seemed to escape that background by studying medicine and socializing with some of the most important people in Brazilian society. But that wasn't enough.
Which of the following descriptive adjectives can be used to best describe the personality of Ramos?
A.double-faced
B.Perfect
C.beautiful
D.dissociated
A.dislike
B.join
C.appreciate
D.admire
