Detective Keeling took his client — a good-looking lady into the back yard of the store together. The lady opened a door in the wall and they entered the small room behind the store. They crossed the room to a locked door.

M r. Keeling took some special keys from his pocket. Moments later, one of the keys unlocked the door. The lady went into the store. She said she would hide under the table to keep watch on her husband. Mr. Keeling did not follow her.

The detective went quickly to the policeman’s house. Then the two men hurried to the jewellery store. They looked through the window. The policeman was surprised. He spoke to Mr. Keeling. “I don’t understand. You told me, ‘Robbins took a young woman to a restaurant.’ Where is she?”

         “There she is !” said Mr. Keeling. He pointed through the window.

         “Do you know the lady with Robbins?” asked the policeman.

         “That’s his secret friend,” said Mr. Keeling.

         “No! You’re wrong! That’s Robbins’ wife,” said the policeman. “I’ve known her for fifteen years.”

         “What ?” the detective shouted. His face became pale. “Who is under the table in the store?”

         He started to kick the door of the jewellery store.

         Mr. Robbins came to the door and opened it. The policeman and the detective ran into the store.

         “Look under that table!” shouted the detective. “Be quick!”

         The policeman lifted the cloth and put his arm under the table. He pulled out a black dress, a black veil and a woman’s wig(假发).

         “Is this young lady your wife?” Mr. Keeling asked the jeweler. He pointed at the woman.

         “Yes! She is my wife !” said Mr. Robbins angrily. “Why did you kick my door? Why are those clothes under my table?”

         “Please check all the jewellery in your store, Mr. Robbins,” the policeman said. “Is anything missing?”

         Some diamond rings and some expensive necklaces were missing. The missing jewellery was worth ＄800.

         Later that night, Mr. Keeling was sitting in his office. He was looking through a big book of photographs. They were photographs of criminals. The policeman had brought the book to the detective’s office. Suddenly, Mr. Keeling stopped turning the pages. He looked at a picture of a handsome young man with a familiar face.

         The next morning, Mr. Keeling paid the jeweler ＄800, and then closed his office.

What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.

For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.

Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can't be seen during most scans.

According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.

This pattern of white matter loss is "similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury", like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.

The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.

1.The passage is most probably a______.

A．news report                           B．research report

C．story for soccer players                   D．text for doctors

2.In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?

A．Computerized test.                      B．Questionnaire..

C．Scanning.                             D．M.R.I. technique.

3.From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.

A．significant effect on brain                 B．little effect on one's brain

C．nothing to do with the brain injury          D．one's memory improved

4.What is likely to be the cause of memory loss?

A．Playing soccer frequently.                 B．Tests of their memory.

C．White matter loss.                       D．Information processing.

5.The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.

A．remembering                          B．misunderstanding

C．recalling                              D．missing
