after being convicted of (证明有……罪) shoplifting for the second time in six months.
Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can
control the desire to steal from shops .
Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡
9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9.
Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting (起诉),said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to
the ladies" toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms (防盗警报装置).
She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying ,Mr Lemoyne said.

said. "She didn"t intend to steal when she went into the store .She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she
wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this."
Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡ 50, and warned : "You"ve got a criminal record .If you carry on like
this ,you will end up in prison ,which will ruin your bright future you may have."

walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30years ago.
Not all cases of Alzheimer"s disease look like this ,but Alzheimer"s is a serious disease that is said to
be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer"s .In the early
stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy
to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain"s nerve fibers (神经纤维),their effect is
certain .Alzheimer"s destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses(配偶),friends and families.
What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer"s disease.
Though many reasons other than Alzheimer"s disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis(诊断)
and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.
What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer" s disease? A person
will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the
disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn"t remember you are married.
Life for the Alzheimer"s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses ,
bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present , facing
them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

Then she asked me, "What if we 6 this a smile car wash?" I couldn"t hold back my tears and 7 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 8 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the kids walked up to me with a(n) 9 with beautiful images of smiles. They had "Free Car Wash" written on it and the 10 of their exercise was "smile". It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the duty to do something for others.
All that seemed 11 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 12 to them: their playtime, the heat outside--- they just wanted to help others and do something nice in the community!

| "Mister D"Arcy is not a policeman. He is however, very wise. He knew the police would search his apartment. He also knew how police think. So, he did not hide the letter where he knew they would look for it. "Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to work out because it was so simple?" Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it. "Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the police could not find the letter because D"Arcy had not hidden it at all. "So I went to visit D"Arcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained to him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glasses at all times. He believed me. The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to him. "I paid special attention to a large desk where there were a lot of papers and books. However, I saw nothing suspicious there. After a few minutes, however, I noticed a small shelf over the fireplace. A few postcards and a letter were lying on the shelf. The letter looked very old and dirty. "As soon as I saw this letter, I decided it must be the one I was looking for. It must be, even though it was completely different from the one Germont had described. "This letter had a large green stamp on it. The address was written in small letters in blue ink. I memorized every detail of the letter while I talked to D"Arcy. Then when he was not looking, I dropped one of my gloves on the floor under my chair. "The next morning, I stopped at his apartment to look for my glove. While we were talking, we heard people shouting in the street. D"Arcy went to the window and looked out. Quickly, I stepped to the shelf and put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had taken with me. I had made it the night before. "The trouble in the street was caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage.He was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, D"Arcy came away from the window. I said goodbye and left. "The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the incident." Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand. "But, Dupin," I said, "why did you go to the trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave" Dupin smiled. "D"Arcy is a dangerous man," he said. "And he has many loyal servants. If I had taken the letter, I might never have left his apartment alive." | |||
