Unit 3 Under the sea grammar课时作业

第一节阅读理解

I’m sitting at home working, minding my business, and the mobile rings. It’s DC Lyle from Wandsworth police station. He says that my name was given to Crime Stoppers anonymously as a potential witness to the “Putney Pusher” incident. Remember that madman who pushed a woman into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge while out for his morning jog? Well, six months on and they still haven’t found him—and DC Lyle wants to meet.

I say I couldn’t possibly help as I wasn’t a witness. DC Lyle says he still needs to meet. I reaffirm there really was no point; I could be of no value; I wasn’t there. DC Lyle insists, and in doing so mentions that he has my email address, and that he tried to see me at my office yesterday (I wasn’t in). What? Somebody gave the police my office address, email address and phone number. Who? Feeling invaded and annoyed, I tell DC Lyle he could come at 10 a.m. the next day. I put the phone down, and only then the penny dropped. I was a suspect.

I must know. Who was the person who put my name forward? They obviously know me, but not well enough to call me first and let me know they were going to report me to the police. Or perhaps they do know me well and have it in for me. That’s for another day.

I frantically search for the video footage of the incident online. The images are grainy. Squint the eyes and even I can see some resemblance. I look at the Pusher’s jogging gear. Not premium, I might be OK. He’s got fat calves. Result. Mine are sculpted (my best feature). The Pusher’s got obvious moobs. Oh dear. I carry some permanent holiday weight. I admit it. All it would take is a bored jury and a

half-decent prosecution barrister, and none of this would be beyond reasonable doubt.

I need evidence proving my innocence, so I fire up the iCal to see what my movements were on 5 May. There is nothing in the diary. This is not going well.

After a fitful night I wake early. 9:45 a.m. arrives. The do or buzzer goes. It’s DC Lyle and his sidekick. Of course they’re early, sneaky bastards. Look relaxed, Joel.

Keep yourself together. DC Lyle and DC Sidekick show me their badges. I show them how extremely nice and friendly I am. Once installed on my sofa (I didn’t offer tea) they hit me with it—I am indeed a suspect.

“Someone put you forward as the person that did this, and we’re here to investigate whether you did. Where were you on the morning of 5 May between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m.?”

I have nothing. I live alone, work from home most days, no diary events, no witnesses as to my whereabouts. Sweats. “Wait,” I say. “Almost every morning of the working week I go to Pret A Manger to have a coffee at or about the time of the incident.” But did I that day? Even if I did, what if it was a day when they gave me a coffee “on the house” as they often did? There might not be credit card records. More sweats.

I get the computer. American Express login. Search for the May 2017 expense calendar (消费明细). Double click. Get in:5 May 2017—Pret A Manger, ￡1.95.

I’m in the clear. DC Lyle peers over my shoulder at the screen. He’s satisfied

I’m not the Putney Pusher. The Pret evidence is helpful, but he also says I’m taller than the real Pusher. Skinnier, too. I tell him that’s because I’ve been jogging a lot recently.

第二节任务型阅读

A new study by Lynne Vincent and Maryam Kouchaki demonstrates that believing that you are a creative person can create feelings of entitlement (权利) when you think that creativity is rare and valuable. That feeling of entitlement can be costly for you and your organization as it can cause you to be dishonest.

Many organizations now are recognizing the importance of creativity and are attempting to encourage their employees to be creative. However, there is a cost to that creativity when creativity is seen as a rare and unique attribute (属性). The findings in this study are based on several laboratory experiments, in addition to a study of employees and …… 此处隐藏：5766字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
