天之痕钢琴曲TEXT B
Every year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting.In Britain alone, about HK$3,000,000’s worth of goods are stolen from shops every week.This amounts to something like HK$150 million a year, and reprents about 4 per cent of the shops’ total stock.As a result of this “shrinkage” as the shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher prices.
Shop-lifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateur, and the people who just can’t help themlves.The professionals do not po much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by clod circuit television, two-way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them.The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where curity measure
s are tightest.And, in any ca, they account for only a small percentage of the total loss due to shop-lifting.
The same applies to the deliberate amateur who is, so to speak, a professional in training.Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealt with verely by the courts.
The real problem is the person who gives way to a sudden temptation and is in all other respects an honest and law-abiding citizen.Contrary to what one would expect, this kind of shop-lifter is rarely poor.He does not steal becau he needs the goods and cannot afford to pay for them.He steals becau he simply cannot stop himlf.And there are countless others who, becau of age, sickness or plain abnt-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops.When caught, all are liable to procution, and the decision whether to nd for the police or not is in the hands of the store manager. 英语量词
In order to prevent the quite incredible growth in ship-lifting offences, some stores, in fact,
are doing their best to parate the thieves from the confud by prohibiting customers from taking bags into the store.However, what is most worrying about the whole problem is, perhaps, that it is yet another instance of the innocent majority being penalized and inconvenienced becau of the actions of a small minority.It is the aircraft hijack situation in another form.Becau of the possibility of one pasnger in a million boarding an aircraft with a weapon, the other 999,999 pasngers must subject themlves to arches and delays.Unless the situation in the shops improves, in ten years’ time we may all have to subject ourlves to a body-arch every time we go into a store to buy a tin of beans!

My bones have been aching again, as they often do in humid weather.They ache like hist
ory: things long done with, that still remain as pain.When the ache is bad enough it keeps me from sleeping.Every night I yearn for sleep, I strive for it;yet it flutters on ahead of me like a curtain.There are sleeping pills, of cour, but the doctor has warned me against them.
Last night, after what emed hours of damp turmoil, I got up and crept slipperless down the staris, feeling my way in the faint street light that came through the window.Once safely arrived at the bottom, I walked into the kitchen and looked around in the refrigerator.There was nothing much I wanted to eat: the remains of a bunch of celery, a blue-tinged heel of bread, a lemon going soft.I’ve fallen into the habits of the solitary;my meals are snatched and random.Furtive snacks, furtive treats and picnics.I made do with some peanut butter, scooped directly from the jar with a forefinger: why dirty a spoon?
Standing there with the jar in one hand and my finger in my mouth, I had the feeling that someone was about to walk into the room — some other woman, the unen, valid owner — and ask me what in hell I was doing in her kitchen.I’ve had it before, the n t
hat even in the cour of my most legitimate and daily actions — peeling a banana, brushing my teeth — I am trespassing.
