The old man was afraid ______ it to the police; he didn't think they'd believe him. (report)
Dear Cathy,
I am terribly sorry I couldn't get to the club this afternoon. I would have called you, but I was hunting frantically for little Mike for almost two hours. He was out in the yard at noon and just (147) . Mrs. Smith, our sitter, and I combed the neighborhood calling him and getting more and more (148) . When I decided to go home and call the police, didn't I find my precious (149) soundly on his blanket in his closet! Of course, then he woke up hungry and furious, and it was too late for the club.
Please forgive us, Cathy, and come here next week, for I believe it's my turn to entertain.
Most contritely,
Vicky

Days after days my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrung with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.
Of the many values that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on— accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law—and, ultimately, no society.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior. are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately there are still communities—smaller towns, usually—where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not tolerated—they simply are not done!"
Yet more and more, especially in our larger suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.
The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it's the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn't teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn't provide a stable home.
I don't believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.

听力原文：W: Oh, Jackie, I've had such a terrible day.
M: You look exhausted. What on earth have you been doing？
W: Oh, I've been such a fool! You just wouldn't believe what I've done.
M: I would, I would. Come on...Where's you been？
W: I'm dying to tell someone. I've been down to London, you see. OK, I thought I'd be very sensible, so I'd drive down to the Underground on the outskirts of London, leave the car and go in by tube. All right？ Very sensible. Yes？ OK. So I drove down to London and I parked my car by the tube station and I got the tube into London: Fine! All right？
M: Well, sounds like it.
W: So far, so good. Right. I came back out of London and got out of the tube.
M: And you forgot the car？
W: No, no, I didn't forget the car. I couldn't find the car, Jackie. It'd gone.
M: You're kidding.
W: No, no, really, it'd gone. I walked out...happily out of the tube, you know, over to where it was and I looked and it was a red Mini and mine's green, so I thought "Oh no". So having panicked a bit, I rang the police, you see, and this lovely, new little policeman...a young one came out to help. That's it, yes...buttons shining...big smile...came down to help, so I said, "I've lost my car. It's been stolen." And I took him to see it and everything and...
M: You mean where it wasn't.
W: And sure enough, it wasn't there. And then he coughed a bit and he went very quiet.., and he took me back into the tube station and out the other side into the other car park.., and there was my car, Jackie, parked in the other tube station car park, the other side of the station, because there are two exits, you see, so I walked out of an exit not knowing, there were two and it was in the other one.
M: Oh Lesley. And was he ever so cross？
W: He was livid, Jackie. He went on and on at me and I didn't know what to do. It was just frightful. I went red and just shut up and said "Sorry" all the time.
M: Jumped in your car and left.
W: Oh, it was awful. I'm never doing that again ever.

Commercial Vices
The commercial vices are drugs. The appeals of the commercial vices are so strong and widespread that attempts to prohibit them in western countries have always failed. The evils of these vices are threefold: Those who practice them suffer, the criminals who sell them prosper, and the enforcement organizations are expensive, unsuccessful, and often corrupt.
Drugs is one of the three commercial vices — gambling and prostitution — accepted as unstoppable, but there evils have been minimized by legalization and regulation.
The United States attempted to prohibit alcohol and failed. The Mafia made its money by bootlegging alcohol. The gangsters of the twenties and thirties were in the alcohol business just as the drug peddlers of today are in the drug business. When alcohol prohibition was repealed and sale by licensed dealers was instituted, the Mafia went out of the liquor business and the revenue agents assigned to stop the illegal business went out of business too. The quality of regulated liquor became assured and taxed, revenue not high enough to motivate bootlegging. It became a source of public revenue.
In conclusion, the government should take any law they can't enforce and turn it around in order to make and save money. But they are also making fewer jobs for the police and other law enforcement agencies. I believe that in the end this way of doing things will be more likely feasible.
The Mafia went out of the liquor business,
A．because the quality of regulated liquor became assured and taxed.
B．because the bootlegging became a source of public revenue.
C．because they settled trade disputes with gunfire but without profit.
D．because there was no more revenue worth risking their lives.
