Every person leaves a footprint. That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 yeasrs ago. People pay restaurant bill with their bank card, check into hotels or travel around. In every case, they leave a trace. And because of this, I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found. The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he used to live. It’s human nature to tell stories ---- which is why neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses. Sometimes, someone even talks about his friend’ s dishonesty. Then I produce a pattern of my subject’ s life: if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy, if he prefers two- or three-star hotels and where he might hide his assets (资产) When I’ ve got this life pattern, I start my research. Nine times out of 10, I find the people I’ m looking for. I once invesigated a lorry supplier

who owed £500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商) The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier. I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son, who founded a new company offering the same produce. It was all done within the law. There was no money to be got from that operation. However, I asked the son if I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while. It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain. I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might in Bulgaria, and I found him doing winter sports in a beautiful mountain area. He was living in a big house on a large piece of land he had bought for €400,000. This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for. 21. We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who

.

A.follows people and reports on what they do

B. helps people start businesses

C.gives advice to people about the law

D. settles arguments between companies 22. Why does the author visit the place where his subject used to stay? A. To find out his hidden assets.

B. To gather information about him. C. To discover why he is dishonest.

D. To find out where he spends his holiday 23. The lorry supplier moved his assets to his son in order to

.

A.pass on his debt to his son

B.double the business of his company

B.let his son take over his lorry business

D. prevent paving back the money he owed 24. We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might

.

A.bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son

B.give up hope of settling the debt

C.sell the big house in Bulgaria

D.get his money back 25. In the passage “every person leaves a footprint” means
