听力原文:W: Is there such a thing as a typical shoplifter?
M: Uh, not really... But there are certain types most shoplifters fall into. Three types, I would say.
W: Tell me more about these three types.
M: Well... uh... people in the first type are what I call "the sudden impulse type". Doctors and psychologists call such people kleptomaniacs. They see something and just can't ... uh... help stealing it. The strange thing about this first type is that the people in it are often well off and could easily afford to buy the thing. Sometimes they don't even need it... and often they're emotionally disturbed in some way.., middle-aged women, for example, whose husbands have left them, or perhaps older men whose wives have recently died.
W: What about the second type?
M: Well, those are people who are really... "little thieves" They work alone, and know exactly what they want before they go into the store. These days a lot of them, but by no means all, are teenagers who steal things they can't afford. Leather jackets, watches, expensive cosmetics, things like that.
W: And the third type.'? What kind of people do you find in the third type?
M: Ah, yes, they're what I call "the experts".
W: Why?
M: Well, first of all, because they're highly organized. And secondly because they do it for a living. They usually operate in groups of three or sometimes four, and they're extremely difficult to catch.
W: Can they make a lot of money that way?
M: Oh, yes. They're very well off, believe me... much better off than a store detective..., or even a journalist!

W: I haven't quite finished mine yet. [20] I had trouble getting past the beginning.
M: How come?
W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. [20] But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn't write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Prof. Wilson said it's pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.
M: You went to talk to her about it?
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to keep from getting stalled writing like that. [21] She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that come into my head even if it doesn't make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.
M: That's interesting. When I get stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
W: Well, her methods seem to have worked for me. I've written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.
M: You are going shopping? Can't you wait until you finish your story?
W: [22] I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery. So I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.
(23)
A.A jewelry store robbery.
B.Buying a birthday present.
C.Writing a story.
D.Doing research for a class assignment.

On Being a Matchmaker
The first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. I'm very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking(媒人) ideas come while I'm in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom.
Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970.
Over the last few years we've been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, a bout 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人) find someone that they get on very well with. We're great triers. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle...
Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon be came clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, "But a woman can't start to love you if your shirt smells." The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love.
What does the author mean by saying "I'm very organized"?
A.She is especially capable of organizing things.
B.She has a fixed plan for her everyday activities.
C.She likes to remember things she has to do.
D.She always finishes what she does on time.
