23、Dear Tommy,

I'm in Paris now! Mom, Sally and I came here to visit my uncle. We are having a wonderful time. Dad didn't come because his company (公司) sent him to work in Japan last month. He will have to stay there until November.

For Sally and me, it's our first time to come to France. We are so excited! Last week Mom went to different shows alone. She used to study in Paris, so she knows the city well. Sally and I visited many interesting places with Aunt Susan. Although we can't speak French, it's OK. Aunt Susan and Uncle Tyler can speak both French and English.

Yesterday afternoon, Mom, Sally and Aunt Susan stayed home cooking dinner. Uncle Tyler took me fishing. We drove for an hour and finally arrived at his favorite lake. First, we walked around the lake looking for a good place to fish. Uncle Tyler said we should fish from the top of a large rock.

I was so interested in catching a fish that when I threw my fishing line and hook (鱼钩) out, the rod (鱼竿) went with them! Uncle Tyler got my rod out of the lake. Then he said that next time, I should wait until he put bait (鱼饵) on the hook.

We fished for two hours and my uncle caught four fish. He is a fantastic fisherman. The only thing I caught was a cold. I can't wait to go again soon, so I can become a great fisherman like him.

Yours,

Frank

24、

Have you heard of a woman writer? She wrote a lot of detective（侦探）novels. Her name is Agatha Christie. She is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion copies of her books have been sold, and they have been translated into 103 languages. She is often called the queen of the “whodunit”. A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime, usually murder. Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it（or who-done-it）.

When Agatha Christie was five, she had read a lot of books and tried to write novels. At the age of 30, she had finished her first detective novel. Readers love her stories because there are always lots of clues（线索）and special information for them to think about as they read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly amateur detective Miss Marple.

Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she was born in 1890 and lived for a long time. But her readers are lucky that she was also a great traveler. She was married to an archaeologist（考古学家）and traveled with him to Syria and Iraq, where they worked at archaeological “digs”. In the book Murder in Mesopotamia, Poirot found a murder at one of these digs. Christie also traveled to Egypt, the setting for Death on the Nile, and took the train ride between Istanbul and Paris（Murder on the Orient Express）.

Agatha Christie died in 1976, but her books continue to be popular today. For one week every year, lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People dress up in clothes from the 1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and at old country houses. Visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the “killer” is—or whodunit.

【1】From Paragraph 1, what does the underlined word “whodunit” most probably mean?

A.Detective novel. B.Fairy tale. C.News report. D.Talent show.

【2】According to Paragraph 1&2, the main character in Agatha Christie’s stories________.

A.is usually the murderer B.is always Hercule Poirot

C.tries to find out the murderer D.is often the queen of Egypt

【3】In Paragraph 3 the word “they” refers to________.

A.Syria and Iraq B.Agatha Christie and her husband

C.archaeologists D.Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.Christie’s stories are always set in places that she had lived or visited.

B.The novels Death on the Nile and Whodunit are set on an old train.

C.Christie’s novels have been keeping popular since she died in 1976.

D.Fans dress up like characters in her stories for one week every year.

【5】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A.To introduce world’s famous detectives. B.To introduce a kind of books-Whodunit.
