cleverer cheat Either way , it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons !
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car : if you want the car back,
pay up then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money
to the neck of the pigeon inside . Carrying the money in a tiny bag , the pigeon flies off .
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work
of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however , may in face be the work of an even lazier and more
inventive criminal mind-one that avoid not only colleting money but going out to steal the car in the first
place . Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for
things he cannot possibly return . Instead of stealing cars , he lets someone else do it and then waits for
the car-owner to place an ad. in the newspaper asking for help .
The theory is supported by the fact that , so far , none of the stolen cars have been returned . Also,
the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars -seems too little for a car worth many
times more .
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if
they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal . "We have more important things to do, "
he said .
1. The "lazier and more inventive" criminal refers to .
A. the car thief who stays at home
B. one of those who put the ads in the paper
C. the owner of the pigeons
D. one of the policemen in Changwa
2. After the car owner received a phone call. He
A. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
B. sent some money to the thief by mail
C. told the press about it
D. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
3 . The writer mentions the fact that "none of the stolen cars have been returned" to show .
A. how easily people get fooled by criminals
B. the thief is extremely clever
C. the money paid is too little
D. what Chen thinks might be correct
4. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because __ .
A. he lives in the same neighborhood
B. he has seen the car owners in the park
C. he reads the ads in the newspaper
D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them

Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using
Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can
raise money every time they search, but it won"t cost them a penny.
Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity - 88% of full time
students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own
income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than ?5,000. With rising personal debt
levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings,
traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible.
Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick.com to donate to her
chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "wugging" movement grow in popularity with
students. "When you"re at university you become more socially aware, but it"s sometimes hard to give to
others when you have little money yourself," says Beth. "Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny."
Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don"t feel they
have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without
costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.
Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and
images but users can decide which of the UK"s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their
clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.
