Why should he be so afraid? There are hundreds of cities and thousands of villages where he can hide. There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself. Besides, he's usually rich with stolen money.
Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. Money can pay for a hideout in some far-off place. But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Machine Gun Kelly. They had plenty of money and good hideouts. Yet one by one they were found by the men of the FBI.
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 hunted can't sleep. That's why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound. When he makes a mistake, he'll no longer be "wanted by the FBI". He'll have been caught.
The FBI began on May 10, 1924. Attorney General Harlan F. Stone chose J. Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, to head the new agency (机构). "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. The criminal would have discovered science. We can't beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically."
J. 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. He chose men so carefully that he made the FBI the hardest service in the world to get into. 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.
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
In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or
ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man
so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him
feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to
explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back
their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and
see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock
classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the
English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come
with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him
to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.”
I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the
least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out
those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was
wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the
cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from
the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he
said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
What is the passage mainly discussing?
A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.
C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.
D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.
A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车). They came to a log cabin(小棚屋). The mall shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin. Sarah, the young woman, got down from the wagon, opened wide her arms and held the boy close.
"Hello, Abe Lincoln," she said. "I think we'll be good friends."
The new mother with the smiling face went to' work at once. She washed Abe and his sister and tidied(整理) their hair. And that night she threw away the boy's mattress(床垫) of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keep him warm at night.
Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe. She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
Maybe, if she hadn't come to the cabin, he wouldn't have lived to be a man. When Abe's father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm, Sarah took Abe's part against his father. Abe would rather read than eat, and when his father told him to stop, Sarah said, "Let the boy read."
In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem. For the last time she had taken Abe's part against his father. For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.
More than twenty years later, when Abe, who had then become famous, was going to make a speech in a nearby town, Sarah went there just to watch him. In the crowd she tried to make herself small, but he saw her and, in front of everybody, got out of his carriage and went over and put his arms around her and kissed her. Yes, that was her Abe.
"He loved me truly," she said later.
Which of the following is not true?
A.The young woman in the wagon was Abe's new mother.
B.The man in the wagon was Abe's new father.
C.The little boy was the young woman's new son.
D.The little boy running out of the cabin was Abe.
