·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 !

note so + 形容詞 + as ...????不如 ... 那樣 ...

that usual????比平常

wrap up????包起來

as ... as possible????盡可能 ...

without paying????沒有付款，這里用介詞短語作狀語，表示方式；其中的動名詞 paying 作介詞?without 的賓語。介詞后面不能跟動詞，如果要跟動詞，都加ing，to后加動詞原型，是因為它是不定式

find out????查明，發(fā)現(xiàn)：通過調(diào)查、研究或詢問等方式獲取某種信息或事實
