Gardner Museum early this morning.
The two burglars(窃贼)knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the
two security guards who were on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made
the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two
burglars tied the guards up with tape.
The two men spent about two hours in the museum. During that time, they stole 11 paintings and
an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt.
A maintenance(保卫)worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.
One of the greatest losses was Rembrandt"s works, "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee." It was a
very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.
Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact
be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market
for nearly a century. According to law enforcement officials, this is considered to be the biggest theft
ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for
the paintings or try to sell them to a private collector.
Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others.
There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.
Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum"s security system. They believe that
this is a "professional job", because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they
wanted. Investigators have already questioned the museum"s guards extensively. They would not give
the names or ages of the guards, but one investigator said the Gardner hires and trains its own security
staff. So far, the guards have not been identified as suspects in the case. An investigator said that anybody having any information about the robbery should contact the Boston Police Department immediately.
B.the police had accurate ideas of the robbery after investigating
C.the burglars didn"t dare to sell the stolen things on the market
D.the security guards helped the thieves secrectly
A.it was Rembrandt"s works
B.it was the most valuable work at the museum
C.it was very attractive to visitors
D.it was one of the greatest losses
B.Send the paintings to some foreign countries.
C.Ask for money to give the paintings back.
D.Change them into more valuable things.
B.made careful plans about the theft
C.tied the guards up with tape
D.were dressed as police officers
B.it is illegal for the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to train its own guards.
C.the security guards on duty that day are suspected.
D.the works stolen haven"t been traded for about 100 years.

Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds
people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing-he looks
exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the
nation"s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a
chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes
very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters
and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government.
Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline
gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his
First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).
The film is 100% American. However, if you"ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job
running the country than the people in power, then you"ll enjoy Dave!
B. To discus the Americans" ideas about the President.
C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
D. To introduce a new film to the reader.
B. Kevin Kline.
C. Bill Mitchell.
D. Ivan Reitman.
B. the director
C. an actor
D. a look-alike
B. The author thinks highly of the film.
C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
D. The author wishes to become the American President.

dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner."
