阅读理解。 When a person passes through the customs (海关) between two countries, he would be questioned by a
customs inspector (检查员). If a person brings in goods of great value, the inspector may ask him to pay
taxes on them. Some people try to hide the valuables they have with them so that they will not have to pay
these taxes. But customs inspectors are hard to fool.
Inspector Joseph Koehler has worked for the US Customs Service for years. One day a group of
passengers arrived on a flight from Belgium.
Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him
pick her out of them ― the woman"s baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign
of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid himself of the feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This woman"s height didn"t seem right somehow.
Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.
The inspector opened them. A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More jewels were found under a
false bottom in one of her suitcases. Their total weight was 3,387 carats. It was one of the largest diamond
