NEW YORK (AP) — The investigation into the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz has gone through decades and countries, from basements to rooftops and seemingly everywhere in between.
No one has ever been charged criminally — and the little boy with sandy brown hair and a toothy grin was declared dead in 2001.
This week, the six-year-old boy who went missing from the Soho area of New York City in 1979 is back in the news. Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.
The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.
A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.
The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. Shirley Brady noted: “As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).” Another wrote, “Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.” One wondered, “Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?”
Good question. This is a case that Stuart Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.
The case led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.
The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥亵者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.
New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.
The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.
Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police.

Lots of teenagers are trying to enter a university by coping stories and phrases from the internet to fill out their personal statements in Britain. Personal statements are used to show what can make applicants (申请)different as they outline their interests and reasons for studying a particular course. But it seems that some ideas and words are alike, even the same, thanks to an internet site designed to help those who don’t know what to write about themselves. A study found that nearly 800 applications had personal statements containing phrases taken from three online examples. The study, which involved examining 50,000 personal statements, found that 5% used the material from the internet, most from one free website. Borrowed material was most likely to appear at the end of a statement or where the applicant described the reasons for wanting to study a subject. Almost all applications are now completed online, but the new evidence of Internet temptation(诱惑)follow concern that teenagers are cutting and pasting material for A-level coursework(课程作业). A spokesman said later that he and his partners were looking for ways examine whether people appeared to be copying material.

There is a new take on an old tale.It's the story of the three
little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of
straw and one made of sticks.The only house left standing was
the one made of bricks.Now there is new evidence to suggest
that houses built with bales(捆)of straw can be very strong.
Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain.
He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bale and hemp(大麻) material.During the next twelve months the team will study die effectiveness of these materials in home building.Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.It's a relatively inexpensive renewable material that's quickly and easily available.Straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows.So it can be seen as having no harmful effects the environment.And the straw bales walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation.So we make buildings that require very little heating in winter or indeed very little cooling in summer.So they require very little additional energy.
David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction.He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw.But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales makes a lot of sense.He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted.To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw.Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster.He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire.As a matter of fact, straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance.And his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain.He says we use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.
68.According to the passage, Pete Walker ____.
A.is cooperating with David Lanfear in building houses
B.is pretty sure that straw is a good building material
C.is studying home building with his team at present
D.holds a different view of building materials from David Lanfear
69.If we live in houses built with bales of straw, we ____.
A.will be worried about the threat of fire
B.need to wear good shoes in severe weather
C.can reduce our household expense
D.should use a special method to keep out rain
70.In building straw houses, ____.
A.a solid foundation and a good roof are necessary
B.straw bales have to be tested for fire resistance
C.a wood frame of straw should be used as a good roof
D.builders should wear good shoes and a good hat
71.Which of the following is the best tide of the passage?
A.Houses Made of Straw
B.New Meaning Of an Old Tale
C.Pete Walker and David Lanfear
D.Solid Foundation and Good Roof
