Janet: Yeah! That?s right! Because the thieves told him to open the safe. The short one went with him. As the manger turned to go back to the office, he told the clerk to cooperate with him.
Detective: Did the boss open up the safe?
Janet: Yeah, he went back into the office and opened it. He seemed pretty calm, not like the customers. I think that guy deserves a medal or something.

Task 2: Who?s the Murderer?
A passing police car heard loud screams and responded immediately. When the police arrived at the scene, hey found Pete?s dead body in his backyard, with man knife wounds and blood everywhere. The officer immediately went to question the three neighbors that had been outside in the past thirty minutes.
Blake Smith had just finished painting his porch when the officer came. A young, polite man, Blake wiped his hands on his clean jeans before shaking hands, and said,” I really didn?t see or hear anything,” he added apologetically. Nelson Brown had been in his garden, right next door to the victim?s yard. He said,” I was in and out of the house. Weeding.” His hands were dirty. Then he added,” Inside, I was repairing a chair, It all must have happened when I was indoors. Sorry.”
Kenny Green?s story seemed less believable.” I was on a ladder, washing my windows,” the middle-aged man admitted. The officer could see that Kenny?s yard overlooked the victim?s. But Kenny claimed,” I never looked over into Pete?s yard, nor did I hear anything.”
Now the officer believed that one of the guys was lying. Who was this man?

Task 3: The theft of personal information
The list of institutions where personal information was reported to have been stolen or lost this year is long, including many large banks, hospitals,
universities and automobile stores. These places contain large numbers of
precious records coveted by ID thieves. Even the Department of Justice is reported to have lost personal records when a laptop was stolen!
The most common causes of these incidents are reported to be hacking and lost records. Also, the theft of personal records can be an inside job, where employees who have access to computer systems are tempted to steal large volumes of customer personal data records. This temptation can be real, because stolen personal data can sell anywhere from $10 to $60 per record. Identity theft could be happening to you right now and you wouldn't know it until the damage was done. Even more disturbing is that newborns and the elderly are often the favorite victims of identity thieves, because the abuse of their personal information can go on longer before it is found out.
Today, the theft of personal records is more dangerous than the loss of
personal information through the careless discarding of credit card receipts or mail.

Protecting Intellectual Property Rights
Richard: I understand why publishing houses have called for a crack down on illegal copies of books. It?s a big loss for them if everyone buys pirated books instead of paying the full price.
Nancy: I agree. If the publishers don?t take action against illegal publications, they and the authors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by lowering the quality of their books.
Richard: That?s why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not only for the publishers, but to consumers as well.
Nancy: You said it. I?m all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books are getting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheap books.
Richard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then saythey can?t afford books.
Nancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsher punishments.
