Week 3阅读单 —（牛津沪教七下U1话题相关） Day 9 Solving with science Keigo Higashino (1958–) is one of the most famous Japanese authors of detective fiction. He studied electrical and electronic engineering at university and later became an engineer. There is a lot of scientific knowledge in his novels and the stories of Manabu Yukawa are typical examples. Yukawa works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as smart as Galileo the scientist and has a great talent for detection. So people often call him Galileo. His old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for help to solve hard cases. Yukawa is only interested in physics. So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows no interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very active. While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes full use of his physics and math knowledge. Sometimes he may even do experiments to prove his theories. Most cases that Yukawa solves seem supernatural and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died from burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be an accident caused by firecrackers. But Yukawa doesn’t think that it could be that simple. He finds something that reminds him that lasers can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his thoughts – it was a hi-tech murder that used mirrors and a laser. 1．Which kind of book does Keigo Higashino write? A．Fairy tales. B．Science books.
