Today I committed my first major crime. This was not a minor parking offence, a trifling license infringement or petty shoplifting. It was a robbery of close to $100,000 worth of valuable material.
All I had to do was walk into the offices of a busy computer bureau, numbering among its clients, some of Britain’s biggest and best-known companies, and generally behaved as ff I had every right to be there. By using a few of the right names and enough technical jargon, I was able to pick up secret files left lying on desks, study the computer’s answers to confidential questions, and finally walk out with two magnetic memory tapes under my arm, each one worth, according to the experts, at least $ 40,000 to any competitor of the firm to which they belonged. There were no threats, no checks, no hue-and-cry, no stocking-masks, no pick axe-handles, no violence and very little risk. I was a stranger with no passes or credentials, yet no one even noticed my coining or my going.
And this could have been just the beginning. If I knew enough of the computer’s language, its customers and communications, I could have robbed it of enormously valuable information from an outside telephone. Or by using a simple piece of equipment costing only a few pence from virtually any hardware shop, I could have sabotaged many banks by wiping out millions of pounds’ worth of information and instructions in seconds.
By returning often enough to become accepted as part of the office furniture, I could have persuaded the computer department to add my name to the company payroll at a suitably attractive salary: I could have pro vided myself with a steady income for years.
Of course, this was a put-up job: had my theft been in earnest I would not be writing about it now. I was told what to say, where to go and what to look for by a computer security expert. But anyone with the right technical knowledge and access to inside information could have done just as well on his own.
When he went in and out of file office, the reporter was ______.
选项
A、told to pass
B、ignored
C、looked at strangely
D、searched
答案
B
解析
第二段最后一句“I was a stranger with no passes or credentials,yet no one even noticed my coming or my going”明尽管作者是个没有证件的陌生人,但没有人注意到他,所以[B]“被忽略”是正确答案。
