Nowadays, masculine jewellery is not accepted even in casual circles, let alone in semi-formal situations.

Where there is no law, there can be no crimes. The first question, therefore, is: Are there any international crimes? And the answer is No--for several reasons.

In the first place, there is no body of international law explaining what is meant by international crimes. Secondly, national laws are only useful within a particular country, However, efforts have been made to have certain actions internationally recognized as crimes. It has been accepted by the countries which have joined Interpol ( 国际刑警组织) that any crime which has an international effect should be considered an international crime.

This can be shown clearly by a recent case in India. An Englishman, pretending that he was a reporter of a leading British daily, canto to India. He showed great interest in the jewelry markets of Delhi and later bought a very expensive gold watch and a couple of gold rings.

One shopkeeper, eager to sell his jewellery, willingly made a deal with him for 22,000 rupees; the only difficulty was the way of payment. The foreigner gave two cheques drawn on the Bangkok branch of the Bank of America, which the shopkeeper accepted, admiring the customer's wealth. The foreigner had, however, given worthless cheques and lost no time in leaving the country with his precious possessions.

The cheques were refused by the bank. The shopkeeper went to the Indian office of Interpol. Interpol. Delhi, on request from the police, quickly got in touch with Interpol, London, and learnt that the international criminal had been caught there for crimes of stealing as well as for giving valueless cheques.

It came to light that he had been related to 27 similar crimes, Interpol asked Britain to send him to Delhi and he was then put into prison and fined 2,000 rupees.

The underlined word "body" (Line 1, Para. 2) in the text means " ______".

A．the article in a law

B．the actual existence

C．people in an organization

D．main part of something

The jewellery designer

He was young and completely unknown, but Paul Waterhouse believed in himself. He'd heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. 'I was only 21,' he says, 'and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.' So he went to the bank, borrowed ￡1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. 'The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.'

He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. 'As most of them weren't precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great! I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,' he says. 'Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I'd done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.'

At the start of his career, Paul felt confident.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say

He was not only allowed to go without further delay, but to take the string of pearls with him.

听力原文：M:Christine, you're not only an eighteen year old, studying for your A levels; you're also a very successful businesswoman. How do you manage to combine these two? Perhaps you could tell me about a typical day?

W: Sure. I usually get up about five o'clock. I try to get to the office for seven and then design jewellery for an hour and a half until it's time to dash off to school which starts at nine.

M: And then you're at school all day?

W:No, not at all. When the others go off for lunch, I go back to the office for another hour's work.

M: What time do you finish school?

W:Half past four.

M: What do you do then?

W: It's back to the office until about nine.

M: So when do you find time to study?

W: After that. I usually do about three hours' revision before I go to bed at midnight.

M:What are you going to do when you finish school?

W: I plan to do business studies at Birmingham University.

M: Do you really need to?

W: Er, I expect it'll be a little strange to learn the theory after having been involved in the practical side since I was thirteen.

M: What do your school friends think of this?

W: They've always thought I was a little different. They were interested in music, I was interested in business and politics.

M: Do you have time for a social life?

W: Yes, when I do go out, I'm more interested in what people are wearing than enjoying myself. I never turn off!
