[单项选择]

For 25 years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. I come from southeast London, where that’s an honorable profession. Anyone can break into a house and steal things. But picking somebody’s pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked in hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers, restaurants. Now we don’t steal anymore, but this crime is worldwide. Here is how to protect yourself.
Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewels and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, and the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if I’m next to her I can reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the
A. Mothers.
B. The babies.
C. The young.
D. The blind.

"Expense account lunches". And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at the weekend because I just didn’’t have any time for things like that any more. There’’s a lot of stress in a job like mine. Perhaps that’’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, then I started filling the glass to the top. Then I had
