Women make good spies. This is because women are good at multitasking. They are also good at reading other
people’s emotions. As a spy, this can help with gathering information. Both of these skills are also useful as a
mother. That might be the biggest reason why women make good ones. Here are the stories of four famous female
spies.
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman played an important role in the Underground Railroad. The network led enslaved (被奴役的)
people in Southern states to freedom in Northern states. Tubman was also a spy, according to History.com. She was
a soldier and spy for the Union Army in the Civil War. Her duties included forming a spy ring, gathering
information about the Confederacy (邦联) and mapping the area. She also led a military battle in 1863. She became
the first woman in the U.S. history to do this.
“Jen”
Jen is a female Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) researcher. Her real name is kept secret for her protection.
The CIA collects security information for the United States. Jen played a big part in finding Osama bin Laden. Jen
is tough, and she spent five years looking for him.
Christine Granville
“Christine Granville’s charm and beauty were really important,” says Clare Mulley. She wrote a book about
Granville. Granville was fast-thinking, brave and devoted. She once bit her own tongue to fake the symptoms of a
disease. This helped her escape the Gestapo during World War II. The Gestapo were secret police for the Nazis.
Granville was awarded the George Medal. It is a British award for bravery.
Stella Rimington
Rimington was the first female director of MI5. The organization is the United Kingdom’s intelligence agency.
She led the office between 1992 and 1996. She too was a mother. She no longer works for MI5. Now, she writes
spy novels.

B
I had moved to Japan for a long-term client consulting engagement. After a few days in a Tokyo hotel, I
moved to an apartment. After being moved in by my colleagues, it was time to get dinner. I found a pizza deliver
flyer (传单) in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan.
The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.
Unfortunately, after 45 minutes no pizza. I figured that my “easy” call really wasn’t and that I would need to
make alternate plans for dinner. While thinking about what to do next, my phone rang. It was Cali Pizza calling to
say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them. Once it was determined that I
had provided an incorrect address, the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window.
After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.
A few minutes later the pizza arrived. This is when my “customer delight” experience took over. First, the
delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late, then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building
with the correct address and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was late. Net result: one
delighted customer (me), and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my two-year stay in Japan.
Such “customer delight” experiences become stories I have used to illustrate (阐明) what it means to truly
delight a customer.
4. What did the writer do first after he moved in the apartment?
A. Deliver flyers. B. Place an order. C. Call his colleagues. D. Set about unpacking.
5. Why was the delivery delayed?
A. The number on the flyer was inaccurate. B. The clerk was unfamiliar with the address.
C. The writer provided an inaccurate address. D. The pizza was sent to a wrong address.
6. What can we learn from the story?
A. It’s never easy to settle down in a new city.
B. A delayed deliver may result in good profits.
C. One cannot be careful enough when placing an order.
D. A short-term loss of benefit may reward a lot.
7. What can be the best title of the story?
A. A pizza deliver flyer B. An unfortunate experience
