The FBI （Federal Bureau of Investigation) had found a new way to catch criminals by lookin

The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) had found a new way to catch criminals by looking at their jeans. Scientists from the bureau reported at last weeks meeting of the American academy of Forensic Sciences in San Francisco that every pair of blue jeans has a unique wear pattern. The FBI has already used this "bar code "to place a suspect at the scene of a crime.

Richard Vorder Bruegge, a scientist at the FBI laboratory in Washington D. C. , and his colleagues developed the technique while helping to identify suspects who were robbing banks and setting off bombs ii1 Washington In April 1996, one of the gang was caught on film . He was wearing a mask, but part of his trousers was visible.

When the photograph was enlarged Vorder Bruegge noticed light and dark lines running across the seam of the man' s jeans. His team found that the pattern originated from slight imperfections introduced when the trousers were made. Workers sew the seams by pushing the fabric through a machine, and the irregularity of that motion stretches and binds the fabric . The colored layer of cotton in the raised portion is worn away, creating white bands.

The patches are more striking on jeans than other types of trousers because they are often al- lowed to become extremely worn, "People just keep wearing them, "says Vorder Bruegge.

The FBI analyzed the jeans of suspects in the Washington case. One pair had a pattern with over two dozen features that matched the jeans Vorder Bruegge's team photographed. At the tri- al, the defense called in a used jeans exporter as an expert witness who claimed the patterns were common to all jeans. He showed the court 34 similar pairs, but in each case the FBI could distinguish them from the accused . The suspect was convicted.

"To place a suspect at the scene of a crime" at the end of the first paragraph means that theFBI

A．has been able to prove a suspect guilty

B．will lead a suspect to the spot of a crime

C．were at the scene with the suspect.

D．caught the suspect on the spot

听力原文：W: Almost five million people are married each year in the United States. About o

ne in every eight of these weddings takes place in June, the traditional month for weddings.

Getting married can be as simple as a five-minute ceremony performed by a judge in a law office. Or it can be a traditional religious ceremony at home, or in a church.

The average age of an American woman being married for the first time is about twenty-four years. The average age for a man is twenty-five. Most young men and women get engaged about a year before the wedding.

In the Nineteen-Sixties and Seventies, many young Americans decided not to have traditional, formal weddings. Many brides and grooms wrote their own wedding ceremonies. These often included poetry and personal statements about their goals in marriage. Some grooms wore old blue jeans to their weddings. More than a few brides were married in their bare feet. It was not unusual to be married on a sandy beach or on a mountainside.

In the last ten years, however, big formal weddings have become popular again. Experts say the average size of formal weddings now is two-hundred guests. Most formal wedding patties are held at hotels or high-priced eating places. There are fresh flowers and paid photographers. Musicians play for dancing, and hired servants present the wedding dinner.

A big wedding takes months to plan, and it can cost thousands of dollars.

How many people get married in June each year in the United States？

A．About five million.

B．About two and a half million.

C．About one point eight million.

D．About six hundred and twenty-five thousand.

第6题

Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money to listen to rock mu

sic. Forbes Magazine claims that at least fifty rock stars have incomes of between two million and six million dollars per year.

"It doesn't make sense, " says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was most popular, in the 1950s. "Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is. "

But the rock stars 'admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.

Some observers think the customers are buying more than music. According to one theory, rock music has a special appeal because no real training is needed to produce it. There is no gulf between the audience and the performer. Every boy and girl in the audience thinks, "I could sing like that. " So rock has become a new kind of religion, a new form. of worship. Young people are glad to pay to worship a rock star because it is a way of worshipping themselves.

Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972, one of the luckiest was Don McLean, who wrote and sang "American Pie". McLean earned more than a million dollars from recordings of "American Pie". Then, too, like most performers, McLean writes his own music, so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song.

Records provide only part of a star's income. Around the world young listeners soon want to see the star in movies, on television, and in person.

Nell Young, who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10 000, each of whom has paid at least five dollars for a ticket. After paying expenses, Young leaves with about $ 18 000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.

How do the rock stars use their money？ What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water？ Most of the young stars simply throw the money around. England's Elton John gave someone a $ 38 000 Rolls Royce automobile and bought himself a $ 5 000 pair of eyeglasses that light up and spell ELTON. He also bought himself two cars, "one for each foot".

Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money, buy no stocks, and live from hand to mouth.

In the end the rock star's life is unrewarding. After two or three years riches and fame are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely person spends his remaining years trying to impress strangers. New stars have arrived to take his place.

The music millionaire Johnny Mathis doesn't think ______.

A．rock stars are worth what they have been paid

B．rock stars have any value in their performance

C．it makes any sense to worship rock stars

D．rock stars are well trained

根据下列文章,请回答 16～20 题。 I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employee

根据下列文章,请回答 16～20 题。

I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She' s found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home.

Catherine:

I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "fight" to use our body to move ahead in business？ Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It' s okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeal, but you won' t get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way.

Roget:

A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不适合的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn' t mean you' re excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks!

Briggs:

I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there.

Bill:

You' re forgetting the most important point--it' s "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dress code, then that' s their fight. If you' d like a different dress code－start your own business.

Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.
