“Wanted by the FBI.” To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world. When the criminal hears them，he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.
Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide，and forests and deserts, as well. Besides, he’s usually rich with stolen money.
Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. But the criminals know that as public enemies, they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide.
They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake，they’ll get him. That’s why the man who is wanted can’t sleep. That’s why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound.
The FBI began on May 10th, 1924. General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer, to head the new agency . “What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,” he said. “Criminals today are smart．They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock，using advanced technology. We can’t beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically.”
Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men carefully. They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers, they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun. But the FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces．

阅读理解

　　A linguist, an expert on languages, is always listening, never off-duty．I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech．I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take just a few minutes．Thus, one evening, three people came to my house and were shown into my front room．In front of each chair there was a microphone at head height, connected to a recorder in the middle of the floor．They sat down, rather nervously, and I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty．Then we could relax and have a drink．

　　I turned on the recorder and each in turn counted from one to twenty in their best accents．When it was over, I turned the recorder off and brought round the drinks．I joined them in talking and joking freely．Then I left them for a telephone call which lasted some time．The rest of the evening seemed to be spent in total relaxation．

　　Or at least that is how it would appear, for, of course, the microphones were not connected to the recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the bedroom．My friends, having seen the recorder before them turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality．

　　I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the recording was over, and asked them whether it should be destroyed．None of them wanted to-but for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, it was I who paid for them．Linguistic research can be a very expensive business．

(3)
