The thieves struck on the morning of August 22, 2004, not long after the Munch Museum had opened. The Sunday peace was broken by the shouting of the two men storming into the exhibition area. Using a gun to force the guards to the ground, they took two paintings off the wall and left. The whole thing took less than 5 minutes. The crime was seen as a shame to Norway, which regards Munch’s paintings as among its most valued cultural treasures. One and a half years on, six men were charged and their trial began February 14, 2006. The police may catch the thieves, but they don’t have the paintings. In the first place, the police took so long to arrive. By the time they did, the original witnesses were gone and the crime scene had been changed with other visitors. The only evidence they got was an unclear photo of two guys taken by the security camera. The police began to make some arrest 8 months later. As for the museum, it closed after the robbery and reopened 10 months later, after adding $6 million security equipment. 【題組】48. On what day did the robbery happen?

use a lot of resources and contribute to global warming. As a result, more and more couples are now looking
for ways to make their traditional weddings kinder to the environment.
Before their weddings, these couples mail invitations that are printed on recycled paper. Or, they avoid using
paper altogether by e-mailing invitations instead. Couples also register at stores that sell environmentally-friendly
gifts, such as bed sheets made of bamboo and towels made of organic cotton. Then, these couples know that they
will receive “green” gifts from their wedding guests.
Many couples choose to hold their weddings outdoors in parks or on farms rather than in churches or other
buildings. This can greatly reduce the amount of electricity needed for the weddings. The couples also look for
locations that are as close as possible to their guests. Why? Because the farther their guests have to drive, the more
pollution they will produce.
During the reception, “green” couples serve organic foods, which are better for the environment because no
chemicals are used to grow them. They also purchase food that is grown locally, not thousands of miles away. This
reduces the pollution that results from transporting the food for long distances. Finally, they serve their food and
drinks using cups, plates and utensils made of recycled materials. 【題組】
