Lesson 32 Shopping made easy购物变得很方便
Who was the thief?
People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before
-- especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went
into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual
when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a
