Here’s an important notice from the police. At about 9 p.m., a lady was robbed and killed by a man in brown. If you know anything about the man, please call the police. Thank you.”The terrible news made Julie so frightened that she couldn’t help looking around, but didn’t see anyone in her kitchen or on the balcony. But all of a sudden, a man appeared and stood in front of her. He was wearing brown! Jolie didn’t know what to do!“Calm down, young lady. Put your jewelry and cash on the table!”said the robber, “I’ll stay up here for the night. If you dare to call the police, you are just asking for trouble.”That made Jolie even more frightened, but she tried to calm herself.Just then came the sound of a police car. In a little while, someone rang the doorbell. The robber said, with a gun pointed against Jolie’s back, “Open the door and say that you have gone to bed. Do not let anyone in.”But an idea occurred to Julie. After opening the door, she said, “Good evening, Miss Ray. I’m Sergeant Collins. Is there anything unusual here?”“No,” she said loudly, “only my brother and I are in the room.”“OK. Good night.” Collins replied.A few minutes later, the police car went away.“Good,” the robber said with a smile. Just this moment, some policemen broke the window and rushed into the room from the balcony. The robber was caught without any reactions.“You really did a good job, Miss Ray.

But as children grow older they become self-conscious, and by the time he reached high school, my older son, Marc, informed me he no longer _____3_____ my daily notes.

A difficult circumstance(情况), in the eyes of a wise man, often m_____6_____ a potential(潜在的)chance for success.(D)Dr. Henry Lee (Li Changyu) is an internationally known and respected forensic scientist (刑侦专家). He is famous for finding the tiniest clues to solve a case. From O.J. Simpson’s bloody fingerprint, Chen Shuibian’s gunshot wound, to the DNA prints of 9/11 tragedy victims, Dr. Lee has helped solve over 6,000 cases and received numerous honors over the past 40 years. World media calls him “a modern-day Sherlock Holmes.”Dr. Lee’s skills as an investigator and interpreter of crime scene evidence have made him world-famous. When a crime makes the headlines, you are likely to see Dr. Lee being asked for an opinion on TV.In the world’s eye, there is no case that Dr. Lee cannot handle. Many people think Dr. Lee is more a super detective than a forensic scientist.Recently, Dr. Lee has been interviewed about solving cases.Q: What is the most difficult case you have ever handled?Dr. Lee: I think every case is difficult in the beginning. You have to be patient and observant in order to discover the evidence. Sometimes, even a spider web can be an important clue in helping solve a case.Q: How do you start investigating a case?Dr. Lee: To investigate a case, you need to collect material (重要的) physical evidence such as DNA and fingerprints, witnesses, and you also need some luck. Of course, you need a lot of common sense, too. If any of the factors is missing, then it becomes a tough case.Q: What qualities do you think make a good forensic scientist?Dr. Lee: Besides a good knowledge of science, you need to be curious, have a logicalmind and good ethics (道德感), and be fair to people. Most importantly, a forensic scientist should maintain his independence. Don’t let public opinion or the police pressure (给……施加压力) you.Q: Do you feel bad if you can’t solve a case?Dr. Lee: No. There are hundreds of cases that have remained unsolved because there are few proofs or witnesses. As long as you do your best, that is all that counts. I have a very positive attitude. Life is too short to worry over the things that you can’t control.Q: What are the rewards for you in your work?Dr. Lee: The best reward from my job is not money or fame. It is when the victim’s family cries over my shoulder, thanking me for making justice possible. It is when I can figure out a rare disease and improve public safety. It is a feeling of fulfillment (满足感) when I can do something for the mankind and society.Q: Can you give some advice to young people?Dr. Lee: I’d like to share a motto that I like with them, “Set goals that you can reach, find an area you feel comfortable in, work hard, and excel (胜过别人).”Answer the questions.1.How many cases has Dr. Lee helped solve over the past 40 years?_____________________________________________________________________ 2.What has made Dr. Lee world-famous?_____________________________________________________________________ 3.
