   When we start reading a detective story,we always wish to find out the truth before we reach the end. But it can be quite difficult to solve the problem. Paying attention to the factors below may help you find the truth.

Motive (動機(jī))

  A motive is the reason behind a crime. Some common motives are money,love,revenge and hiding a secret. 

Suspect 

   Suspects are those who may have done the crime. Usually there is more than one suspect in a case. Detectives have to find out the real criminal among them. Suspects with different genders,ages,jobs and personalities often confuse the readers.

Clue 

   Clues are the most important things in solving a crime. Clues can be very small things,such as hair,mud or a piece of paper from a diary. Clues don't lead directly to the truth. Detectives use reasoning to find out what those clues truly mean,and put them together to find the truth.

Alibi (不在場證明) 

   An alibi is a special kind of evidence (證據(jù)) .It means a proof of your not being at the crime scene when the crime took place. For example,if you are having dinner with a friend when the crime happens,your friend's words are your alibi.However,an alibi can be forged (偽造) .Your friend may have told a lie to protect you.

   Detective stories are like puzzles. Following the factors can help us see what the detectives see and solve the puzzle in the end.

  Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute,Indiana. Last year,he taught his students about the world's rainforests.They learned that rainforests are important because the plants and animals of the rainforest give us food,wood,and medicine.

   Destruction of the worlds rainforests is a serious problem. Unluckily,rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 a-cres per minute!As part of a class project,Myers’ students bought three acres of rainforest in Central America.They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed.The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.

   So last June,Myers and four of his students went on a seven-day trip to visit the rainforests of Costa Rica. “The trip was wonderful.lt was a very exciting experience”, said Myers.

   At the beginning of the week,the group took a boat ride down a river.They saw alligators and crocodiles.In the middle of the week,a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest. “ The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us ,” one of the students said. ‘‘It was a great learning experience for all of us/said Myers.

   Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants,animals,food,and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding,and visited Costa Rica's active volcano.

   Mobile phones are more important than ever in the daily lives of students,but how they use them has changed greatly in the past six years. While phones are still widely used for communication,a recent study has found that most students think talking on mobile phones is now old-fashioned.

   London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18  about their mobile phone habits.The researchers divided mobile phone use into“communication”and “entertainment”.Communication included talking on the phone and writing messages using texting (短信) or chatting software.Entertainment was made up of playing games,watching movies,listening to music and surfing the Internet. The findings were then compared to a 2008 study,to see what changed.The results are shown below：

   Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones these days. Six years ago the average students spent 36% of their mobile phone time making or receiving calls.In 2014,only 10% of time was used for talking. When students use their phones to communicate,more and more often it is done by using chat software like qq or wechat.

   “ Communication is still an important function of mobile phones.But now mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communication,M said Dr Harry Lectre,the research leader.

   It was a lovely spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out a cry,u Ow!n Ow!Something in my shoe is biting me." Everyone was shocked by the cry.They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my 1   .“Which foot is it?”one asked.“Let us have a look."

   Miss Diane took off my right shoe and sock and shook them over the dustbin.Two red ants 14  it.

   “Just what I thought. The ants have eaten part of her sock."When she stroked an alcohol cotton ball on the bites,she added ,“ You are such a 15   girl to take so many bites."
