Passage Five
Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, "You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn't know about".
So he became a thief--but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.
One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.
It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.
When he went back to Jim, he said, "That family can't have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there."
52. What Jim said can be said to be______.
A. an excuse
B. a lie
C. a joke
D. a truth

The rate of broken marriages has risen steadily since Spain legalized(合法化) divorce in 1981, and a 2005 reform has caused those numbers to skyrocket.The reform has allowed couples to separate for one year before divorce. As a result, Spain now has on divorce for every 2.3 marriages - an increase of 74% in the past two years alone.
For the Catholic Church, Spain's rising divorce rate shows the morality (道德)is being threatened,and this threat comes from the government, whose power has no longer remained in the Church. Cardinal(红衣主教）Augustín García-Gasco believes that radical separation of politics and religion has led to nothing but despair along with abortion and fast divorce. Benigno Blanco, president of the Spanish Forum for the Family, agrees, 'The reform has made the marriage contract useless.'
However,Spaniards(西班牙人）no longer feel shameful by the prospect of divorce. A website named 'divorcioexpress.com' offers couples agreements on divorce through the Internet. 'We facilitate about 100 divorces a month,'Alberto Gillette, the founder of the website, says, 'but we're not encouraging divorce, just making it easier to get.'Like the companies, some sociologists also think it unreasonable to be worried about the divorce boom, because the number of separations is dropping down when that of divorces is increasing. 'In the past, when it came to the issue on divorce, Spain seemed unique in Europe.' Sociologist Inés Alberdi says, 'Now we're more like other European countries.'
