TapeMeasure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs. Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr. Spenlow is the murderer(凶手) because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife's death. But after the police talk to Miss Marple, she finds out the real murderer.
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery(疑案) by noticing a tiny pin(别针) on a policeman's uniform. Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!
Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.

In 1945,6 planes and 17 men disappeared without a sign, all in one day. This was Flight 19. Flight 19's captain was Lieutenant Charles Taylor. Flight 19 was a usual flight. It took off at about 2:10 p.m. from Miami. The weather was very normal on that December 5th of 1945. A message was received at 4:00 p.m.that told about pilot Taylor not knowing the way to go because his compass(指南针) was running around and around.
After that,it was never heard from again.While searching for it,a search plane was also lost.The search for the both continued until December 10th of that same year.None of the things from Flight 19's planes,or from the search plane,was ever found.It is one of the most infamous disappearances. Searching for Flight 19 lasted five days,and covered 380,000 square miles. Dr. Kripke suggests that the accident happened because of a vortex(涡流).

Do you often think of life in the future? Will we study at home? Will we fly to the moon easily? Everyone may have his or her views about that. Life in the future will be very different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place but what wig the changes be?
There will be changes in our food. Maybe no one will eat meat. Instead, people will eat more and more fruit and vegetables. People will stay away from junk food. People will be much healthier.
Computers will be smaller and much more useful. Maybe we will even put the computer into our pockets. There will be at least two computers in every family. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects at school.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work can be done by robots. People will work fewer hours that they do now. And they will have more free time for spots, watching TV and traveling.
