30、minals. But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals. People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal(揭示 ) the identity of the criminal. Its long been believed, for example, that criminals will break the law closer to wher
31、e they live, simply because its easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect(嫌疑犯 ) who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same crimi
32、nal did it. But Mike OLeary, a mathematician at Towson University in Maryland, says that this kind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminals home base by combining these patterns with a citys layout(布 局 ) and historical crime records. The
33、records of past crimes contain geographic al information and can reveal easy targets that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are. OLeary is writ
34、ing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and information about how a criminals patterns change with age. Its been shown, for example, that the younger the criminal, the
35、 closer to home the crime. Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but OLearys uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country. The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. OLeary
36、says that criminology the study of crime and criminals contains a lot of g ood math problems. “I feel like Im in a gold mine and Im the only one who knows what gold looks like,” he says. “Its a lot of fun.” 【小题 1】 To find criminals, police usually _.

When its you entertaining everyone at a restaurant, have you ever noticed how you can almost set your clock by the waiter coming to take everyones order just
44、before your funny punch line Most joke and story tellers are too shy to say, after the interruption, “Now, as I was saying” Instead, theyll spend the rest of the evening feeling bad they didnt get to finish. Heres where you come in. Rescue them with the technique I call “Lend a Helping Tongue.” Watc
