Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet ti indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
From 1940 to 1956, a man called George Metesky set off bombs in places like movie theaters and train
stations all over New York City. A psychiatrist named James A. Brussel was called in by the police to help. He
used crime scene photos and notes from the bomber to profile the criminal doing the bombings. He assured the
police that the man was middle-aged, unmarried, and a skilled mechanic from Connecticut.
This was an example of criminal profiling. Profiling is used when a criminal’s identity is unknown. Based on
profiling, a psychological sketch of the person is created. This sketch helps the police more easily find him or

her. It is an essential tool for the police trying to solve major crimes. Profiling has been used for a long time to
help the police.
Profilers are not police officers. They are experts who create criminal profiles for the police. They use the
crime scene evidence and psychology to write about the suspect. They can’t tell who the person is, but they can
tell the police what kind of person to look for. To be a profiler, one needs a degree in psychology, criminal
justice, or behavioral science. Profilers sometimes work in police departments and sometimes they are
independent workers.
Profiling is especially effective in cases of repeated crimes, like serial killers. The profile tells the police
what the killer may act like. It also tells the police what kind of person the killer may target next
and where it might happen. That way, the police can prevent further crimes. Profilers can learn a lot about a
criminal’s habits from the evidence they leave behind.
All of this is impressive, but not everyone agrees with profiling. Some say it’s just a guessing game. It may
not always work, but profiling methods have improved over time. Today’s profilers are much better than
previous profilers. They can create better profiles thanks to decades of knowledge and experience. Even if their
information isn’t perfect, it’s still a great help to the police.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
It was one of the greatest art thefts in history. In March 1990, two thieves stole 13 pieces of art from the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Valued at $500 million, it was the largest private
art theft ever, and for decades, it has gone unsolved.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is unique in the art world. Founded in 1903, it is the only museum

where the art and the building are part of one person’s private collection. Gardner was a collector of art who
acquired many pieces on her travels to Europe. She eventually opened her museum to the public so she could
share her art with the world.
Two thieves disguised as police officers knocked on the museum’s door late at night on St. Patrick’s Day.
Because of the holiday, there were festivities all over the city. The “police officers” told the two guards that
there was a problem outside. Once inside, one of the “police officers” looked at the guards. “I have an arrest
warrant for you,” he said. That’s when he put handcuffs on the guards.
The thieves stole art from all over the museum. During the robbery, they set off an alarm when they tried
to take a Rembrandt off a wall, but they quickly smashed it. The thieves finally left the museum 81 minutes later
with their stolen art. The stolen art included The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt, Landscape with an
Obelisk by Flinck, La Sortie de Pesage by Degas, and The Concert by Vermeer. The next morning, workers
found the art gone and the guards still tied up. They immediately called in the police and an investigation
began.
Some called the robbery “dumb” because paintings are notoriously hard to sell, but others claimed the
thieves were very professional. They weren’t art experts and had likely been paid to steal the art. Today, the art
has still not been found. Empty frames hang where the paintings were. They are reminders of what was
stolen.
