She wrote 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections. Her famous characters include Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie was born in 1890 in Devon, England. She didn’t go to school; she was educated at home by her mother. As a young girl, she loved reading mystery stories and began writing poems and short stories. During World War I, she worked as a nurse and learned about poisons — knowledge that later appeared in her books. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920 and introduced Hercule Poirot. The book was not an immediate bestseller, but it gained a loyal following. Her most famous work, Murder on the Orient Express (1934), and Death on the Nile (1937), were both inspired by her travels. She also wrote a play, The Mousetrap, which holds the record for the longest-running show in theatre history. Christie was a master of plot twists. She often kept readers guessing until the very last page. Her stories are still widely read and adapted for film and television. She died in 1976, but her legacy lives on. 6. What is Agatha Christie’s nickname? A. Queen of Crime    B. Queen of England C. Queen of Mystery    D. Queen of Books 7. How did Christie learn about poisons? A. From reading books    B. From her mother C. While working as a nurse    D. During her travels 8. What was Christie’s first novel? A.

It is the longest-running show in theatre history C. It was written in 1976    D. It was her first book 10. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Agatha Christie’s life and works    B. How to write a detective story C. The history of crime fiction    D. Famous detectives in literature C I have always been fascinated by puzzles and mysteries, but I have a terrible memory for details. When I was a child, I would often forget where I put my keys or what I read in a book. Now, as an adult, I work as a journalist covering crime stories. It’s a challenge! One day, I was at the police station interviewing a detective about a recent burglary. He showed me some photos of the crime scene. I looked at them carefully, but I couldn’t remember the layout later. When I got back to my office, I realized I had forgotten to ask about the suspect’s alibi. I felt embarrassed. The next day, I went back to the station. The detective was surprised to see me again. I explained my problem and he laughed. He said, “It’s okay. Most people can’t remember everything. That’s why we take notes.” He gave me a small notebook and said, “Write down everything important immediately. Don’t rely on your memory.” I took his advice. Since then, I always carry a notebook. My memory may be poor, but my notes are excellent. I’ve even solved a few small mysteries myself by reviewing my notes. I’ve learned that a good detective’s best tool is not a perfect memory, but careful recording. 11. What is the writer’s job? A. A detective    B. A journalist    C. A teacher    D. A police officer 12. Why did the writer go back to the police station the next day? A. To interview another detective    B. To ask about the suspect’s alibi C. To return the photos    D.
