I have been writing for more than 50 years.I still consider myself to it, because I have written only one book. , I have written thousands of letters, more than a hundred e-books and millions of words on the Internet for hundreds of websites.

Though I don’t like foreign languages, I have also been and have learned seven of them. I was to study French, German and Latin for six years at school and Russian for four years at university, yet none of these was as as writing a book of excellent . And I am only talking about here, not plot, although that is obviously too.

Rules change in languages. The strict rules of the 19th century were largely over the following 100 years. However, some rules and that is how it should be too. Rules in writing are very important. And writing is a thing and it involves languages, plots, reader’s preferences, etc. So, who should writing and book competitions? And what rules should they ? Readers buy more books than writers and language experts put together. And writers write for readers, some of might be other writers or teachers. Similarly there has to be a storyline or plot that is of , but who should be the judge of that?

There is an author, John Locke, who sold a million books in five months, yet he was for his style and content by experts, surely he must have been doing something . Currently, most writing competitions are judged by writers and this seems to me. I suggest that if there are five judges, three should be readers, one should be a writer and one should be an English teacher.

The report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship (戰(zhàn)列艦) Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies (補(bǔ)給) from the United States to war-torn England.

The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles (海里) an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.

However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.

It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.

The battle didn’t last long. The Bismarck’s first torpedo (魚(yú)雷) hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.

But in the fight, the Bismarck was a bit damaged. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.

For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air. The Bismarck was hit.

On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck, and she was finally sunk.

1.The Bismarck sailed (航行) into the Atlantic Ocean ________.

A. to sink the Hood

B. to gain control of France

C. to cut off American supplies to Britain

2.Many people believed that the Bismarck could not be defeated because she ________.

A. was fast and powerful

B. had more men on board

C. was under Luetjens’ command

D. had bigger guns than other ships

3.We learn from the text that on 24 May ________.

A. the British won the battle against the Bismarck

B. the Bismarck won the battle against the British

C. the British gunfire damaged the Bismarck seriously

D. the Bismarck succeeded in keeping away from the British

4.Luetjens tried to sail to France in order to ________.

“Come on! All of us are cutting math. Who wants to take that quiz? We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to math class, take the quiz? Or do you give in and go with them?

People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers（同齡人）. When they try to influence you how to act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure（壓力）. It’s something everyone has to deal with—even adults.

Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Or you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative（消極的） ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.

It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust, a parent, or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.

1.With his words in the first paragraph, the kid is ________.

A. planning some interesting activities after school

B. talking about a dinner party

C. asking other kids to take a quiz with him

D. encouraging other kids to cut a class

2.According to the author, _________.

A. peer pressure does kids more harm than good

B. math is the most difficult subject for most kids

C. kids today are under greater pressure than before

D. peer pressure exists among people of all age groups

3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Peer pressure. B. Your time.

C. Your life. D. Human nature.

4.It’s suggested in the last paragraph that the readers _______.

A. make more close friends while at school

B. learn to refuse their friends in a polite way

C. get support from someone else if it’s necessary

D. build closer relations with their parents and teachers

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was born Agatha May Clarissa Miller in Devon, England in 1890, the youngest of three children in a conservative, well-to-do family. Taught at home by a governess and tutors, as a child Agatha Christie never attended school. She became skillful at creating games to keep herself occupied at a very young age. A bashful child, unable to adequately express her feelings, she first turned to music as a means of expression and, later in life, to writing.

In 1914, at the age of 24, she married Archie Christie, a World War I fighter pilot. While he was off at war, she worked as a nurse. It was while working in a hospital during the war that Christie first came up with the idea of writing a detective novel. Although it was completed in a year, it wasn’t published until 1920, five years later.

“The mysterious Affair at Styles” gave the world the unique Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who was to become one of the most enduring characters in all of fiction. With his waxed moustache and his “l(fā)ittle grey cell,” he was “meticulous (careful to do things correctly), a tidy little man, always neat, orderly and a bit absurd.”

Christie wrote more than 30 novels featuring Poirot. Among the most popular were” The Murder of Roger Ackroyd”(1926), “Murder on the Orient Expredd”(1934), and “Death on the Nile” (1937).

Another of Christie’s most well-known and beloved characters was introduced in “Murder at the Vicarage” in 1930. Miss Jane Marple, an elderly single in the old- fashioned English village of St. Mary Mead, solved all manner of mysteries with intense concentration and instinct.

Christies ultimately (finally)became the acknowledged Queen of the Golden Age. In all, she wrote over 66 novel, numerous short stories and screenplays, and a series of romantic novels using the pen name Mary Westmacott. Several of her works were made into successful feature films, the most notable being Murder on the Orient Express (1974). In short, she is the single most popular mystery writer of all time. In 1971 she was awarded the high honor of becoming a Dame of the British Empire.

1.Which of the following is the correct order in which the events happened?

a. Agatha became a Dame of The British Empire.

b. Agatha worked as a nurse

c. The Mysterious Affair at Styles was published.

d. Murder on the Vicarage Express was published

e. Murder on the Orient Express was filmed

f. Archie Christie went to the front as a fighter pilot.

A. f-b-d-c-e-a B. f-b-c-d-a-e

C. f-d-b-c-a-e D. f-d-c-b-e-a

2.What does the underlined word “bashful” probably mean?

A. Shy B. Conservative C. Stupid D. Sensitive

3.Mary Westmacott is_________________.

A. Agatha’s governess

B. the name of Agatha’s novel

C. another name for Agatha

D. the heroine of Agatha’s novel

4.Which of the following is NOT true about Hercule Poirot?

A. He was once a policeman

B. He paid much attention to details

C. He sometimes seems rather foolish

D. He solved mysterious with a sixth sense

5.In Agatha Christie’s life, What were the most popular novels that she wrote?

A; biography B. detective novel

C. romantic fiction D. science fiction
