One of Disney's favorite dreams was to create a new kind of amusement park--a place where all the members of a family could go and have fun together. He wanted it to be a clean place where the whole family could spend the day. It would give the parents of small children something to do while their children were enjoying the rides and games.

　　Disney decided to build his park in California, and in 1952 he began to buy land. This proved to be a difficult task, since the land he wanted was owned by no fewer than twenty families. Nevertheless, Disney went on with his plans for a clean, safe park, which he decided to call Disneyland.

　　At last Disneyland was built and opened to the public. Very quickly it came to be regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world. In the first six months of its existence（存在）, about three million people passed through its gate. Visitors to Disneyland have included eleven kings and queens, twenty-four heads of states, and twenty-seven princes（王子）and princesses. In ten years, Disneyland earned ＄195 000 000.

　　Disney thought Disneyland expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He was never tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Every night, each street and each walk way is washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to clean up chewing gum（口香糖）that has been dropped by visitors. Visitors to the park are called “guests”, never “customers”. Every year, some 800000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them. Undoubtedly（无疑）it helps explain why about fifty percent of the people who enter Disneyland's gates have been there before.

     Every person leaves a footprint．That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank cards，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found．

    The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he used to live。It’s human nature to tell stories which is why neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to  have a holiday in Spain or in Italy, if he prefers two-or-three-star hotels and where he might hide his assets．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my research．

    Nine times out of 10，I find the people I'm looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed￡500，000 to a subcontractor(分包商)。The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was all done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation．

    However, I asked the son If I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain． 

    I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria, and I found him doing winter sport‘s in a beautiful mountain area．He was living in a big house on a  large piece of land he had bought for￡400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for．

68．We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who            ．

    A．follows people and reports on what they do

    B．helps people start business

    C．gives advice to people about the law   

    D．settles arguments between businesses or companies 

69．The underlined word “assets”(in paragraph 2)most probably means         ．

    A．houses           B．family             C．identity     D．possessions

70．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?

    A．The author visits the place where his subject used to live in order to find out why he is dishonest．

    B．It’s human nature to share some trouble with others

    C．The author usually tracks someone’s bank card first if he wants to find out where the man is staying．

    D．The lorry supplier moved his asset’s to his son in order to prevent paying back the money he owed．

71．We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might        

    A．bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son

    B．give up hope of settling the debt

    C．get his money back

    D．sell the big house in Bulgaria
