Question

阅读理解：

　　Cross was what people call a mysterious (神秘的) man. We had known him for over five years, eve since he became a member of our club(俱乐部)，but he had a way of keeping all his life to himself. We knew where he lived, though he never invited us to his home, and his age too, but only unimportant matters of this kind. It appeared that he did not have to work for a living as we did . He had once talked about a lot of money on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, ready to spend money freely, he was not especially well-dressed and he did not even own a car. At the age of forty-five he remained single though, since marriage(婚姻) was not a subject he ever discussed, we had no means of finding out whether he was sorry for that.

　　Cross disappeared suddenly from for circle and shortly after we came to learn the fact that our mysterious man was nothing but a thief. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, together with photos of a man who was exactly our Mr Cross, it was shown that he was a most experienced（熟练的）thief, operating mostly in London; and that he had practised this job for many years, until he was caught and sent to prison.
