【課文】
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 few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl‘gave’her mother a free dress once a week!
人們不再像以前那樣誠實了。偷竊的誘惑比以往任何時候都要大——尤其是在大商店里。最近,一名偵探注意到一名衣著講究的女子,她總是在周一早上走進一家大商店。一個星期一,當這名女子走進商店時,里面的人比往常少,所以偵探更容易監(jiān)視她。這名女子先買了一些小物件。過了一會兒,她挑選了店里最貴的一條裙子,并把它遞給了一名店員,店員盡快為她打包好。然后,這名女子只是拿起包裹,沒付錢就走出了商店。當她被捕時,偵探發(fā)現那名店員竟是她的女兒。這個女孩每周都會“送”給她母親一條免費的裙子!
