Cross was what people call a mysterious (神秘的) man. We had known him for over five years, eve since he became a member of our club(俱樂部),but he had a way of keeping all his life to himself. We knew where he lived, though he never invited us to his home, and his age too, but only unimportant matters of this kind. It appeared that he did not have to work for a living as we did . He had once talked about a lot of money on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, ready to spend money freely, he was not especially well-dressed and he did not even own a car. At the age of forty-five he remained single though, since marriage(婚姻) was not a subject he ever discussed, we had no means of finding out whether he was sorry for that.
Cross disappeared suddenly from for circle and shortly after we came to learn the fact that our mysterious man was nothing but a thief. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, together with photos of a man who was exactly our Mr Cross, it was shown that he was a most experienced(熟練的)thief, operating mostly in London; and that he had practised this job for many years, until he was caught and sent to prison.

Native TongueAt first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what the people were saying.
“Why did they do this?”Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can't learn if you can't understand the teacher.”
Nadia's voice was a whisper, “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia's English was perfect.
Kate was perplexed. She couldn't understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn't the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual think to learn —-all at the same time.
Nadia nodded quickly. In a quiet voice she replied, “Many things people say, I do rat understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn't a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me.”“Don't worry. ”said Kate. “You'll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer. ”
Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson . To Kate's surprise , Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.

Dear Anne,
I write further to our conversation on the phone a few days ago. It was a great dialogue to talk to you on the phone last week. I hope things are well for you. Unfortunately, things really haven't changed here at all. He is still not helping me in the house. By the time I get in from work, it's 5:45 p. m. Then I've got to prepare and cook the evening meal, clear away and wash the dishes. Even then I am still not free, as I've got to do some homework then. I don't sleep until around half past nine, by which time I am very tired of course, while I am doing all these things, Steve sits in front of the TV and boils a cup of coffee for only himself. When I ask him to help, he just says that it is none of his business ! I feel I can't go on like this. I've only been married for four months, but I feel like a life time.
