Crime-fighdng technology is getting more sophisticated(高级的) and rightly so. The police need to be equipped for the 21st century. In Britain we ve already got the world's biggest DNA database. By next year,the state will have access to the genetic(基因的) data of 4. 25 million people: one British-based person in 14.Hundreds of thousands of those on the database will never have been charged with a crime.
Britain is also reported to have more than four million CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras.
There's a continuing debate about the effectiveness of CCTV. Some evidence suggests that it's helpfiil in reducing shoplifting and car crime.It has also been used to successfully identify(识别)terrorists and murderers. However,many claim that better lighting is just as effective when it comes to preventing crime, and that cameras could displace (转移) crime. A police report said that only one crime was solved for every l,000 cameras in London in 2007. In short,there's conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of cameras,so it's likely that the debate will continue.
Professor Mike Press,who has spent the past decade studying how design can contribute to crime reduction,said that,in order for CCTV to have any effect,it must be used in a targeted way.
Most cameras that simply record city centres continually — often not being watched 一 do not produce results. CCTV can also have the opposite effect of that intended,by giving citizens a false sense of safety and encouraging them to be careless with property(财产) and personal safety.
Professor Press said:“All the evidence suggests that CCTV alone makes no positive influence on crime reduction and prevention at all. The weight of evidence would suggest' the investment is more or less a waste of money unless you have lots of other things in place.”He believes that much of the increase is driven by the marketing efforts of safety companies who promote the crime-reducing benefits of their products. He described it as a “lazy approach to crime prevention" and said that authorities should instead be focusing on how to change the environment to reduce crime.

You will probably never find his name in a history book,but to this day,Walker Lee continues to contribute to American heritage (遗产) .Walter Lee is an old-fashioned,modern-day blacksmith(who makes and repairs things made of iron) , still practicing the fine art of shaping metal over a hot fire.
Walker Lee began his career in hand-forged (手工锻造的) ironwork at the age of 30.The idea of creating an object out of iron,an extremely hard material,appealed to him. He started on this new business by collecting and reading every book he could find that described the process of black-smithing,including its history,its practical and decorative uses,and the equipment.
During the course of his research,Lee discovered a tool necessary for the success of any blacksmith: the anvil,a heavy block of iron or steel on which a blacksmith shapes the hot metal with a hammer(锤子) .
Lee bought his first anvil from 84-year-old Hurley Alford Templeton of Philadelphia. It weighed 100 pounds. The anvil cost him $100,and four months later,he paid $75 for another anvil from Cornell University in New York.
When building his blacksmith shop,in the interest of economy,he constructed it out of inexpensive wood. It was a simple little building that stood for only nine years. Lee replaced his first shop with a finer one made of more expensive wood.
The very first object Lee forged in his shop was a long,pointed Hudson Bay knife. As he recalls that event he says, “From the minute I first saw the thing take shape,I was attracted ...still am. There's something magic in it. You heat it up and pound it with a hammer and it goes where you want it to go."
Years later,at a family event,Lee,discovered that his Italian ancestors were expert coppersmiths (铜匠) .During the gathering,Lee's great uncle Johnny said that Lee’s love for blacksmithing was “in the blood,” and he happily presented Lee with a new 125-pound anvil.
1. Why did Lee choose to be a blacksmith?
A. He hoped to protect American heritage.

2. Lee learned blacksmithing.
A. by teaching himself
B. from his great uncle
C. from an 84-year-old man
D. by studying at a university
3. How do blacksmiths use the anvil?
A. They put it on a hammer and hit hot iron.
B. They place iron on it and shape the iron.
C. They use it to produce a hot fire.
D. They use it to make hammers.
4. The underlined words “that event” refer to.

B. the meeting with Johnny
C. the making of the Hudson Bay knife
D. the construction of his blacksmith shop
5. Why does the author write the article?
