【題目】 How can you create public transport in the Amazon jungle（亞馬遜叢林）without polluting it？The Achuar people（阿丘雅人）in Ecuador（厄瓜多爾）have found a clever solution.

Since April 2017，a boat powered completely by solar energy has travelled along the rivers that connect nine different small villages in the jungle. The boat，Tapiatpia，is named after a special kind of electric eel（電鰻）in the area. It has given the Amazon its first solar—powered public transport system. It creates no pollution in the jungle which is home to the largest number of plants and animals in the world.

Transport in the area used to rely on boats powered by petrol（汽油）. These boats were expensive to run because petrol here cost five times more than that in the capital city of Quito（基多）. Tapiatpia is cheaper to run，and therefore the fare for each stop is lower. A solar—powered boat ride costs one dollar per stop for each passenger，while a petrol—powered boat ride costs at least five dollars.

The solar-powered boat，which can carry 18 people at a time，is changing life in the jungle. More children go to school because the fare is more affordable. Besides，when someone is ill，his family or friends can call the boat on the radio：the boat will come immediately and take the patient to a health center quickly. More inter-village sporting events. are held，too，because of the use of the solar-powered boat.

Many people think the solar-powered boat can be used in the rest of the Amazon，where there is an urgent need for both public transport and environmental protection.

【題目】 Agatha Christie is undoubtedly queen of the detective story． Many people have fallen in love with her creations ﹣Hercule Poirot， a famous Belgian detective and Miss Marple， an old lady who is also an amateur （業(yè)余的）detective．

As I am a big fan of Agatha Christie， let me share with you an interesting story about her． The famous writer never forgot that night when she met a robber many years ago． That evening， she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning． Agatha walked in the quiet street alone． Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her． "Good morning， lady，" the man said in a low voice， "I don't think you wish to die here!"

"What do you want？" Agatha asked．

"Your earrings． Take them off!"

Agatha suddenly had a bright idea． She tried to cover her necklace with the collar （衣領(lǐng)）of her coat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings and then she quickly threw them on the ground．

"Take them and let me go，" she said． The robber saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all， only trying to protect the necklace． He thought the necklace would cost more， so he said， "Give me your necklace．" "Oh， sir． It's not worth much． Please let me keep it．

"Stop talking rubbish． Quick!"

With shaky hands， Agatha took off her necklace． As soon as the robber disappeared， she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends． In fact， the earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds．
