The author was Agatha Christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.In June 1977 , a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar (卡塔尔) , near Sandi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯) . Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was flown to London and sent to Hammersmith Hospital. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were puzzled by the very unusual signs of illness. While they were having a discussion about the babys illness, a nurse asked to speak to them.Excuse me, said Nurse Marsha Maitland, but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning(铊中毒) .What makes you think that? Dr. Brown asked. Thallium poisoning is very rare. A few days ago, I was reading a novel calledA Pale Horse by Agatha Christie, Nurse Maitland explained.“In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the signs are exactly the same as the baby s .”You are very careful and you may be right, another doctor said. Well carry out some tests and find out whether it s thallium(铊) or not.Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Later on it was proved that the poison might have come from an insecticide(杀虫剂) used in Qatar.1. Who first suggested the correct cause of the babys illness?A. A Doctor in Qatar. B. Nurse Maitland. C.

D.They thought it was a possibility worth considering.B Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine? The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a workers family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldnt tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.6.
