Bill’s laptop stopped working. He looked in the phone book under Computer Repair. He called a repair place near his apartment. Byron answered the phone. Bill said, “My laptop has crashed. Can you retrieve the files? If so, how much will it cost?” Byron said, “I charge $125 an hour. I can probably retrieve the files in an hour. If I can’t, I will call you.”
The conversation lasted a few more minutes. Bill was impressed. Byron was very polite. He seemed friendly. He seemed trustworthy. A little later, Bill took his computer to Byron’s office. Byron’s wife was his secretary. She was very friendly. All three talked about Bill’s computer, the weather, the Yankees, and the “good old days.” “They’re a really nice couple,” Bill thought as he left Byron’s office. “I think I have two new friends.” 
The next morning, Bill called Byron.
“How’s it going?” Bill asked.
“It’s coming along.” said Byron, “Your files are a real mess. I’ve spent 3.5 hours on your computer, but I haven’t retrieved everything.”
“Excuse me?” Bill said, “What do you mean, 3.5 hours!? How much money is that? That’s $375!”
Byron said, “Well, actually, it’s $437.50.”
“$437.50!?” said Bill, “Is this a joke? I can buy a brand new computer for $437.50! You’re pulling my leg, right? We agreed to one hour. Then you were supposed to call me. Why didn’t you call me?”
“It was late at night,” Byron said, “I didn’t want to wake you. Look, it sounds like you’re upset. I’ll take you off the clock right now. I’ll retrieve all your files, but just charge you for the first 3.5 hours. I still have about two hours to go. You’ll be getting those two hours for free. That’ll save you $250! How’s that for a deal?”

The high-profile case of a caregiver accused of killing an elderly woman in Guangdong province has exposed a management lapse (过失) in the senior care market, according to experts.
He Tiandai, 45, admitted killing a 70-year-old woman she was taking care of by placing sleeping pills and chemicals in her soup. At a trial that started last week in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, she said she killed her employer because she wanted to get her monthly pay in advance. She said the employer’s daughter-in-law, surnamed Liang, had promised to pay her monthly salary even if the elderly woman died before the end of a month. The caregiver also claimed to have killed another nine elderly people between June 2013 and December last year while looking after them separately. But she was not charged by prosecutors (公诉人) due to a lack of evidence.
Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court heard the case on Wednesday and has yet to give a verdict(裁决).
Zhang Yiri, an associate professor of law at Guangzhou City Polytechnic, said the case indicates a lack of government supervision and management of agencies handling caregivers. “Many agencies hire them without any background checks. All they ask for is identity cards before they recommend them to local households,” Zhang said.
Ma Xiaoyan, a lawyer at the Guangdong Code Law Firm, said companies recruiting caregivers should check the backgrounds of potential hires and their employment records. Ma urged such companies to work with public security departments and send information on caregivers to police for regular checks.
 
24. Why did He Tiandai kill the old woman?
A. She hated the old woman. B. She wanted to get her money beforehand.
C. She was accused of killing. D. She was mad.
25. How many people have been killed by He?
A. 1 B. 2 C. 9 D. 10
26. According to Zhang Yiri, government should _____________.
A. punish the company which hires He Tiandai 　B. set up laws to protect the old
C. oversee and manage the senior care market 　D. check the background of the caregivers
27. What did Ma Xiaoyan suggest?
A. Agencies handling caregivers should cooperate with the police for checking the caregivers regularly.
B. Agencies handling caregivers should monitor the caregivers regularly.
C. Agencies handling caregivers should keep the caregivers’ identity cards for regular checks.
  D. Agencies handling caregivers should send information on caregivers to the owners.
