聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
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 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!

購物變得很方便
人們不再像以前那樣誠實了。偷竊的誘惑力比以往任何時候都更強烈 -- 特別是在大的商店里。一名偵探最近注意上了一位穿著講究的婦女,她總是在星期一上午進入一家大商場。有一個星期一,當這位婦女走進這家商場時,里面的人比往常少,因此,偵探比較容易監(jiān)視她。這位婦女先是買了幾樣小商品。過了一會兒,她又選了商場里最昂貴的一件衣服,把它遞給了售貨員。那售貨員以最快的速度為她包好了衣服。然后,那婦女拿過包就走出了商場,根本沒有付錢。她被逮捕后。偵探發(fā)現原來那售貨員是她的女兒。那姑娘每星期“送”她母親一件免費的衣服!
